Simple Plan - Simple Plan


"Simple Plan" is the self-titled third studio album by Simple Plan. It has a combination of lots of different styles and it is their best album yet.


1. "When I'm Gone" - The first single which is a great pop/rock anthem. I love this tune and it was a great choice for the first single!


2. "Take My Hand" - Continuing with the up-beat tracks, this tune is about a guy and a girl wanting to be together. This is a fantastic song and it's definitely one of their best.


3. "The End" - This song is about someone not wanting the relationship to end. It's a racy tune which has a catchy chorus that I love!


4. "Your Love Is A Lie" - This tune is the second single and it's about a girl who is cheating on a guy and she constantly lies to him. I love this track. It's so catchy!


5. "Save You" - This track is the third single and it's about Pierre Bouvier's brother's battle with cancer. It's a mid-tempo song and the lyrics are really emotional and meaningful.


6. "Generation" - This is my favourite track on the album. It has rock influences and it is really catchy! I love the lyrics and the general feel of the song. This should definitely be a single!


7. "Time to Say Goodbye" - This song is about a break-up. It's an up-beat tune which has catchy hooks and brilliant beats.


8. "I Can Wait Forever" - I love this track! It's a mid-tempo track which has brilliant use of lyrics ("When you call my heart stops beating, when you're gone it wont stop bleeding") and a fantastic vibe to the song. You can't help but love it!


9. "Holding On" - Another mid-tempo track, "Holding On" is pretty average. It's a passable track which has rock influences, but there are better tunes.


10. "No Love" - This tune is great. It's brilliant, offering us a mixture of pop and rock, as well as great hooks.


11. "What If" - The last track is a rock influenced track which goes through 'what if's' and it's really catchy. It's worth a listen!


12. "Running out of Time (Limited Edition bonus track)" - This is another favourite of mine. It's a pure fun tune which is entertaining and a nice addition to the album.


13. "When I'm Gone (Acoustic version)" - This version of the track shows off their vocals more than the album version. I like the album version better, but this one is great too!


Best track: "Generation"

Overall Rating:
10/10
"Simple Plan" is a fantastic album. I love almost every track. I really hope that "Generation" or "I Can Wait Forever" become a single. This is different to their last album "Still Not Getting Any...", it is more experimental and it has way more different styles included. I really recommend this album!
