sandylea correctly guessed the album so it’s time to get your teenage angst out with Simple Plan who she’s seeing live very soon!

No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls (2002) I’ve never been a big pop punk fan, only got into Blink 182 more recently before going to their concert. My friend group would always dismiss this genre as “emo trash” while we listened to artists that dealt with the exact same stuff. Anyway that being said I went into this with an open mind. I’m Just a Kid, Addicted and Alien are fun and as angsty as it is Perfect is the best known song on the album. The rest of the album isn’t good and there’s only so much “woe is me” I can’t take. At least other bands turned up the humour more when the content was lacking. Rating 4/10

Have memories of Welcome to My Life because it played constantly when I worked at a grocery store. Those work radio playlists were both awful and amazing at the same time.

Still Not Getting Any… (2004)
Jump, Welcome to my life & Untitled are the only worthwhile tracks on this album. Like Limp Bizkit these guys just seem to make strong singles but not much else. If I was an emo kid in high school and not a 30 something year old man this would probably appeal to me more. Rating 3/10

Simple Plan (2008)
Significant improvement from the last two album, like Blink 182’s self-titled album this is also a departure from their old sound and a wise move. The first 4 tracks (When I’m Gone, Take My Hand, The End, Your Love is a Lie) are the best with a mild drop in quality for the rest of the album. Not a home run but much better outing than previous records. Rating 7/10

Get Your Heart On! (2011)
You Suck at Love serves as an unofficial sequel to Your Love is a Lie and overall this is just a really good album. Blackberry, Jet Lagged and Summer Paradise are great with “This song saved my life” being as melodramatic as the people that actually say this. It’s still angsty music aimed at teenagers but this is the best they’ve done it so far. Rating 8/10

Taking One For The Team (2016) I’m definitely taking one for the team listening to this because it sucks. Didn’t think I’d be comparing Simple Plan to Limp Bizkit again but here we are. I feel acts like Aqua, Limp Bizkit, Simple Plan that weren’t great in the first places hit an awkward era of “wow they are still going?” Like Bizkit when Gold Cobra was released. Then you give it a few more years and they become a Nostalgia act and everyone is cool with them again due to the Memberberries kicking in. They try to go for a new sound on this and sound like discount Calvis Harris or Diplo and when they don’t it’s even worse versions of their woe is me stuff from their early stuff. I don’t want to go bed & PS I hate you are the only decent (not even good) tracks on the album. Rating 2/10

Harder Than It Looks (2022) Much like Blink’s “One More Time…” this is a celebration of what the band is and go back to their roots in good fashion and now hit the nostalgia point of their cringe angsty lyrics being looked back at with rose tinted glasses. After a huge gamble that didn’t pay off with the last album this was much more in their comfort zone but it works & doesn’t wear out it’s welcome. Rating 7/10

Emo, angsty and teenagers are keywords I'm searching for with each post. Feel like there's a formula to the rating. The less you think about those keywords the better the album.
