Published on May 21st 2002

After enduring the long lines and sweltering heat, I remember finally crossing the precious gates of the 2000 Warped Tour. Wandering over to the second stage, I found a very sparse crowd and a punk-pop three piece called Reset. I knew of them because of my radio show, and after receiving their disc No Limits, I had been spinning a track called “Pollution” quite heavily. They looked amazed as I was singing the lyrics to some of their tunes, as many of the openers of Warped would be.

Enter 2002, and just when I was looking through my CD’s and wondering the whereabouts of these Canadian punkers, I stumble upon an article on the web about a group called Simple Plan, containing ex-members of Reset. I was shocked to see that the band is already on Atlantic Records, before I have ever even heard of them.

So I grab the album, based on the fact that Reset was pretty cool. Driving home, I’m rocking out to “I’d Do Anything”, and laugh when I hear a familiar punk popper in the background.

As the album continues, I find the songs pretty damn catchy. Sure they are all your basic run-of- the-mill cheesy punk pop, but if you take it for what its worth, the songs are pretty well structured.

“The Worst Day Ever”, and “I’m Just A Kid” (you know, the video with the cheerleader hottie) could get stuck in your head whether you want to admit it or not. And if you like Blink and Mest (replace the midgets with hotties, and Wasting Time looks like SP’s album cover at arms length), you might enjoy this album.

However as I listened closely to this record, I became more concerned. The lyrics to these songs seem like they were the ones I wrote in 7th grade math class. The song topics cover summer jobs, forgetting to study, running away from home, and strict parents. Hey but wait, in the video those dudes didn’t look that young…and they are not. After perusing their bios, I see that most of the members are of legal drinking age. “Last night I had to study for this test/I forgot man I’m dead”. Dude, high school should be a memory for you guys now. “Sometimes this house feels like a prison/that I cant leave behind”. Then move out!

My point is that maybe Atlantic had a “Simple Plan”. Create a pop punk band to cater to the TRL market. It’s just weird not seeing these guys on and indie anywhere. And being the same age as these guys, I know that my life has become a little more complicated than “I took my dad’s car/I never thought he would find out”.

Musically this album is pretty catchy if you are into this genre. You’ll be tapping away on the wheel. But lyrically, I just can’t see any sincerity here. This can't come from that broken heart seen in the bands logo.

So crank this album on the way to the beach. Just don’t let the other cars get close enough to hear that you’re just a kid.

    This one time, I was in a room with some boys from my school. We got a little drunk and I ended up fingering one of their assholes.

    That was more heterosexual than this album.

    The end.

    Posted by xfirexhazardx on 2007-05-26 20:32:55

    I am so fucking sick of people ragging on Simple Plan because they write songs about 'kid stuff'. So what? Did you ever think maybe teenagers want to listen to music too? Maybe we need songs we can actually relate to? Huh? Not a bunch of shit about 'oh I'm so rich and famous, I have everything and you don't' or some dumb love song that I know nothing about. I'm 16, I'm too young for that kind of shit. I need songs about school, parental problems, and other teenage problems. Simple Plan writes about stuff that's important to me, stuff I care about and can relate to, that's why they're my favorite band. And to the haters, shut the fuck up already! Obviously it ain't doing any good hating on them or they would have stopped already, so just leave them alone!
    OK I'm done now
    SIMPLE PLAN ROCKS!!

    My Score:

    "People that hate our band, they will never hate me enough to make me stop, they don't phase me. I love what I do so much and they will never stop me from doing it. No matter how loud they scream, I will scream louder and I will always be there for the people that love us." -Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan

    "at warped tour i saw the lead singer come out from the backstage area and there were a couple of girls there wanting to get his autograph. instead of signing their shirts he said "no, im busy." and he walked back to the backstage area where he came from."

    Right about now I'm laughing my fucking ass off. They ALWAYS sign autographs and if I know Pierre (No I don't know him personally but...well you get my point) he would NEVER say that to a fan. and I mean NEVER. Okay people. So just shut the fuck up. No one told you bastards (the haters) that you MUST love Simple Plan or someones gonna come and cut your head off okay. They play for the fans and ONLY the fans. Well for fun to but they couldn't give a fuck to any of you bitches out there that take your time to write ONE SENTENCE about them okay!? So why waist your time and critisize them when they could be even reading this and laughing at you bastards. And ya know what. If you have a problem with me E-MAIL ME DAMMIT! I'm sick and tired of people judging Simple Plan. They're a bunch of 28(ish) year olds living life to the fullest and all you care about is trying, YES TRYING to offend them in anyway possible. Wanna know what...THEY DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So once again, you have a problem with me, e-mail me here: SimplePlan632@aol.com
    I'm not afraid. Trust me. ¬¬

    i don't think you guys should Bitch about Simple Plan there are awsome band they at least have a better life than you haters do and they are Rocking and they hae songs everyone can relate and there are defenitly a punk band not some crappy boy band that you all think of them as. Backstreet Boys are a boy band Simple Plan are way 10 x better than Backstreet boys and they'll rock than any other lame ass pop band. and they don't give a shit about them so how about u shut up shut up cuz i dont want to hear it so SHUT THE HELL UP about they suck cuz they rock And i Love them ..... Simple Plan rock.

    I love this CD! I think their 2nd CD is even better. How can you people complain about this CD?? I think it is great for their first CD. So stop complaining cause Simple Plan does not care, they said that they would keep playing music for their fans- for the people that care about them and like their music so shut up!

    Posted by klonny on 2006-01-09 19:46:33

    Now, I know it would be stupid to complain like 3/4's of the people commenting on this album, but in all due honesty...Simple Plan fuckin' blows more than a hairdryer.

    you say that the drummer is worst but do you play drum? me i do and the simple plan song's are harder than green day songs. so if you don't know what you're talking about just shut up!!!

    OK, I love this CD. I've loved it for a couple years! You guys who are complaining how much you hate them and how SP moans and complains in their album...YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THING! You're complaining about stupid things!!!! OK, I don't know you people, and don't flip out on me for this, but I bet your lives are better than some others. And those other people might need something to cheer them up or something to complain about too (even if it's something stupid!)! So they'll sing with the CD and complain because it feels good to complain about crap in your life!!! It takes that load off your chest!
    I don't care how much you guys hate SP or how much crap you can talk about them! But don't come here and say rude and obnoxious crap!

    My Score:

    Three stars....you gave this album three stars? Fuck man, the only reason I gave it half of a star is because they write their own music, I respect that its better than most. But seriously I hate Simple Plan. They are making Canada look really bad. They aren't punk, they're shittier than pop, and too whiney. They have a video where they closed off a bridge and sat on it singing, what the fuck?????? That bridge is a sell-out, Simple Plan is as well. Don't get me wrong its not a bad thing for the band, i'd sell out in a second, but the music, I like money, I'll admit it, but I wouldn't go around pretending I wasn't a sellout, I'd roll everywhere in my BMW 7 series with 22 spinners and my clothes would be make of diamonds. My simple plan is this....kill simple plan, and also good charlotte, new found glory, etc. I hate that this pseudo-genre has developed it just plain sucks ass.
    If you want good music hit up some Billy Talent, Thrice, Finch, or plain rock it with the Cult. Everytime I see a video, or hear a song by these guys I want to vomit.

    Worst band ever.

    RE AD THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE ON THE RIGHT.
    CHUCK FROM SP COMES ON HERE AND READ ALL THE SHIT YOU GUYS PUT UP ABOUT HIS BAND. THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THEM.
    THIS IS WHAT PIERRE HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE HATERS
    People that hate our band, they will never hate me enough to make me stop it. They don't phase me. They go out there and tell us to fuck off or they flip us off or whatever, it's like, that's nothing to me. It's like I love what I do so much they will never stop me from doing it no matter how loud they scream, I will scream louder. And I will always be there for people who love us. They could never boo me off stage, I'll keep playing until my set's over and that's it.
    AND THIS IS WHAT CHUCK SAID
    We never asked everyone in the world to like our band. I think we make music for ourselves and the kids out there who enjoy it. The rest of the people don't have to come to out shows and don't have to fucking wear simple Plan shirts.

    I am a huge Simple Plan fan. I have only been to one concert of theirs so far and it was at Cypress Gardens on July 3 2005. I have nothing bad to say about Simple Plan. I think it is really crappy how people just talk crap about them when you dont even know them. Remember DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. I really like the music they write because I am a 17yr old teenage girl who can relate to mostly all their songs. Hey but all I have to say is when no one is there for them I will be.. and ps.. David is sooooooo hott and soo is Pierre..

    all Simple Plan does is whine in every song, its so annoying hearing about how pathetic and sad the lead singers life is (i would put his name but i dont care enough to look it up) i'm tired of these bands trying to be "punk" when in reality they are only good enough to be on pop radio stations

    Posted by crazytoledo on 2005-06-30 02:26:02

    KK, some of you say that the drummer sucks, but I mean, why? Do you play the drums? Do you even play any of the instruments?

    So a muscian could get high and just slam drums and do literally nuttin but make noise and because we dont play the instrument there better.

    Nice theory sherlock!

    Posted by crazytoledo on 2005-06-30 02:23:19

    and said, 'oh, I hate the lead singer's voice becuase it is too high' now that would get us somewhere. (That's criticism that sounds like you are stating your opinion-not stating to the WORLD how much of a fuckin loser you are to piss and moan about how much you hate them!

    Then the SP fans would still say were all idiots and deaf and retarded for not liking 12 year old girls music. Doesnt matter what we say, there all going to think were idiots when they should look in the mirror to see whose the idiot...

    Posted by Anonymous on Friday, June 24, 2005 at 11:19 PM (EDT)

    Half of you people disgust me. I happen to LOVE simple plan. They are funny, and a great band. Now, the reason half of you disgust me is that these comments are about the album, aren't they? If you hate simple plan, saying that they are 'gay' or 'retarded' won't get any of us anywhere. If you actually listened to their music, and said, 'oh, I hate the lead singer's voice becuase it is too high' now that would get us somewhere. (That's criticism that sounds like you are stating your opinion-not stating to the WORLD how much of a fuckin loser you are to piss and moan about how much you hate them!) Ok, you don't like high voices-understood. (Though I happen to love all their voices, especially since that is almost exactly what they sound like in persn.) No one minds if you have your opinion.

    KK, some of you say that the drummer sucks, but I mean, why? Do you play the drums? Do you even play any of the instruments?

    Now, why I like the album. Now, I normally listen to rap or hip hop or rock...so do i look like a person who really gives a fuck about a label on a band? if some people choose to call them punk, then fine. If some people choose to call them posers, then that's stupid, becuase one smart person said that what are they posing to be? I mean, can someone out their please give me solid INTELLIGENT reasons for not liking them?

    Oh, anyway, why I like the album:
    Their songs do sing about how I feel. I mean, sometimes, I do just want to say how sad I feel. Becuase normally I am a very happy person, but even if I act that way, everything isn't' always just 'peachy'. I love how one minute they can sound so sad, like in perfect, but the next minute, sound so determined to get with a person, and then the next, almost laughing about how screwed up life is.
    Simple Plan is an awesome band who does what they love to do-what is it to you haters? If you don't like them, bye! No one wants to listen to you tell the world you are jealous of Seb Lefebvre, David Desrosiers, Chuck Comeau, Pierre Bouvier, or Jeff Stinco. SO go fuck yourselves instead of writing about how much you hate them.

    it is clear that their fans are dickheads when they are getting coments like:

    it represents wat many teenagers out dere feel and helps dem noe dere not da only ones in da world hoo feel like dat.

    i think teenagers will infact feel like throwing them selves off a building after listening to this excuse of an album.... Now if this guy wonders why people hate him and simple plan he has to not write things that make him appear like an A grade tool...

    Really i would recommend this album to satan .... it would make the experience of hell that much more painful

    My Score:

    if you get the simple plan dvd they say that they wrote some of those songs like 4-5 years ago. but anyway a lot of their stuff might be more pop than punk but i still like them. i have to say that i can listen to every song and relate something that i have gone through to each one. maybee not all of you have gone through the things that they have and dont appreciate what they are trying to get out. i kno that i went through some hard times like two months ago and their cd really helped me get through it. so for me i can relate to what they are saying and appreciate the music that they put out.

    "but whatever .. its just my two cents .. you guys are probably gonna like copy and paste my comment .. and make fun of me and shit "..

    so i pasted and made funny of your comment 4 one reason... YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!what? youre obsessed with you?
    and about that comment about warped tour you evidently don't know shit about that tour do u?i went to the cal state fullerton show on july 2, 2004 and the bands play 4 a good half hour. i was acidentally in the pit when new found glory went on. i really wanted to see them so i was in pretty far but when they went on i got a face full off dirt during there first song "truth of my youth" and i had to push my way out cause the band played for a half hour and i would have probably tripped and fallen cause i was really being shoved and i'm only 5"1. I got out pretty fast but i almost lost my sweat shirt i had already lost my three dollar water, but anyway that didn't ruin they're set for me cause they were on 4 a half hour! not 4 minutes you idiot! after the mosh pit incident my sisters friend felt bad 4 me cause i couldn't see so i got to sit on his shoulders and take pictures off them. i know my stuff. and 4 that comment about

    "oh my i cant believe it you have to listen and look at simple plan FOR AN ENTIRE 4 MINUTES!!! thats soo horrible"

    why yes...yes it is

    My Score:

    alright .. im a big fan of Simple Plan
    i started to like them when i heard "i'm just a kid" then as time went by i started to like them even more .. and became a huge fan ..

    i know they arent punk, and i'm sure most fans do too. they dont classify themselves as punk. they classify themselves as pop-punk, and with some songs they are more pop then punk, but with some others, their music is more punk. thats why they are .. pop-punk

    and if you are really punk, i dont understand how you run across simple plan on the radio. see i live in New York, and theres one radio station (that i know of at least) called K-Rock .. that plays mostly punk, rock and that type of music and because it plays that type of music, and you dont come across it playing anything like Simple Plan. so really if your listenin to a radio station like that i dont understand why you even bother complaining about hearing Simple Plan on the radio, cause you know your not hearing them. The only time i hear them on the radio .. which isnt that often anymore .... is if i'm listening to a station more like Z100, (which for people who dont know it plays pretty much every type of music, from 50 Cent to Sugarcult to Nsync, just everything) .. and if your a punk-rocker like you claim you wouldnt listen to that station cause you'd end up sitting through a simple plan song or something like ashlee simpson ...

    really .. i mean everyone has their own taste in music .. and im not saying that all of you should force yourself to listen to Simple Plan .. but honestly they are very easy to ignore as long as you dont have a sister like me whos obessed with me.

    oh and for the whole them being at warped tour. if i was against them that would piss me off too .. and you guys all have your fun throwing shit at them .. but come on their on the stage for like what .. one or two songs .. and then they're gone and you dont have to deal w/ them .. and you have a band that you like on next .. so seriously .. a songs what? at most 4 minutes long .. oh my i cant believe it you have to listen and look at simple plan FOR AN ENTIRE 4 MINUTES!!! thats soo horrible .. .. come on seriously ...

    but whatever .. its just my two cents .. you guys are probably gonna like copy and paste my comment .. and make fun of me and shit .. but everyone has their own say in shit .. and this is mine .. so just accept like i accepted you guys hating on them ...

    and really they are awesome guys who do TRUELY love what they are doing .. and dont act like if you had the chance to make it big you wouldnt take it .. any1 in their right mind would ....

    If Simple Plan were really "punk" then they wouldn't sell out.
    Mtv, Vh1 and everything else like that is just for a bunch of sell outs that are only in it for the money and fame. Its not about the music anymore. They are violating the rights of good bands just because they aren't around anymore. Like bands that broke up because They didn't want to sell out.
    You know..the good bands.

    My Score:

    I agree that Simple Plan Sux!! Simple Plan did say that they were punk. I don't know what they call punk, all I know is that in my opinion punk is...A rock form characterized by aggressive volume, short, angry vocals and often bitter political or hopeless emotional content. It was born as a reaction to the bland, corporate rock of the 1970s. Early exponents of punk include Sex Pistols, The Clash, Ramones and Buzzcocks. Punk's recent revival is attributed to the dominance of sound-alike “alternative” bands.... This is exactly what simple plan is trying to be, but the sad part is that they are far from it!. The closest "alternative" band is...well I can't even think of one, maybe thats because the Sex pistols and The Clash were the greatest fucking ever. I am so sick of hearing about what people think is punk. I hate labeling things because everyone has their own interputation of what it is. So Simple Plan fucking Sux! Got it? Now try sayin' somethin' bout that...bitch!

    I don't see why people hate them so much. They're just doing what they want to do. I happen to like they're music. Some songs get annoying when my friend, Angie constantly listens to them. She's beyond obsessed with Simple Plan, but she doesn't even know that they're coming out with a new album. All she knows about Simple Plan is that apparently Pierre is really hot... Hmm, whatever. I hate people like that... But anyways, that one track, "Crash and Burn" is more rock, so I'm definately looking forward to the new album.

    Some of there stuff is so annoying and.....it cuts me like a knife.

    But some of it is catchy, and you can see why some people get caught by it and love it. I DO think it's pop-punk, not just pop with guitars (although Perfect is just pop) but if you listen to the CD's tracks some of them are definatly more punkier than poppy. BUT they need to sort it our and iron out the crap.

    I'd start with a new, decent drummer, new decent lyricist and cut the cheesy shit.

If you think they need to get lives, maybe you should if your going to wqaste your time commenting on it. AND didn't your parents EVER tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?

    I think simple plan are good, and there not really on a major record label they're on a division of atlantic records called lava records. So you people either need to
    1. Have your doctor see if you have completely lost your mind
    2. get a brain
    3. listen to what the words are saying cuz not all of it's immature
    Or 4. Go comment on aother fucking band cuz the people who actually like it your ruining what they think, poisining they're thoughts, and ur just being assholes.

    And simple plan never said they WERE punk. Actually you're probably not punk, and can anyone TRULY define punk? NO.NO.NO. Everyone has a different definition, so either learn to respect that or go kiss a llamas ass.

    Wow look at the conflicting point of views between the simple plan fans. One says there rich the other says there poor. You know the only reason why i actually give a shit is because people like you obnoxiously run around and claim that bands that arent punk are punk like you want us to react to you. This is a punk site for punk music therefore when a band that isnt punk is placed on the site it causes a few reactions among us and some of us ask simple questions like "why is this band on the website there not punk" and then all of you little bitches come running around on here going "oh they are punk, shut up you gay haterz" with all of your pointless babbling and stupid comments similar to the one above. I mean seriously your posts are pointless. Look at all of the posts that are in support of any poser punk band on this website and I can guarantee that probably only 1 out of every 10 actually makes a valid arguement. And to the retarded 13 year old above you really make no good arguement (maybe people who have not yet hit puberty will think it was a good arguement) and when i was your age i was listening to early Green Day, Screeching Weasel, Bad Religion and other similar bands. And to the other person above, go ahead say it the nasty way, i mean what, you think that we cant take it?

So what if their not "punk" enough for u! at least theyre doing what they love! Theyre punk pop, so dont listen to them if u dont like them! im sorry if u think its such a big deal that they are on this punk news site, but they are, so deal with it. And one more thing, if ur gonna write anything, make sure its something that means something, Not like, "Oh, Simple Plan sucks ass" Wow...thats a great thing to write...there have also been plenty more things written that are gay like that.
    Thank you

    Anybody that thinks simple plan is punk should be thrown into a pit at a refused show with a sign on them that says "SIMPLE PLAN IS GOOD PUNK". Yeah I bet that person wouldnt last long.

    "This worthless band has been embraced by Goldfinger and tugged along with their mere following of 5 little punk rock girls who are still in high school."

    Dude, those 5 punk girls are Good Charlotte and their manager.

    I love Simple Plan! I think they're great, and I really like listening to their music, and the words. Has it ever occured to you, that maybe theyre singing about people like me, that are actually going to highschool right now? I love listening to their music, because it reminds me that there are other people like me, that have or are going throught the same things I am. So what if their not "punk" enough for u! at least theyre doing what they love! Theyre punk pop, so dont listen to them if u dont like them! im sorry if u think its such a big deal that they are on this punk news site, but they are, so deal with it. And one more thing, if ur gonna write anything, make sure its something that means something, Not like, "Oh, Simple Plan sucks ass" Wow...thats a great thing to write...there have also been plenty more things written that are gay like that.
    Thank you

    Okay, Im just going to throw this out their. I love pop punk. I love Greenday, Screeching Weasel, the Queers, Nerf Herder, the Zoinks, No Motiv and Dynamite Boy. Hell, I'll even admit to liking Sugarcult, Sum 41, Offspring, Allister's first album and Blink 182's "Dude Ranch". But Simple Plan just plain fucking sucks donkey cock. They write the worst lyrics of anyone I have ever heard. Pop punk lyrics usually suck but these guys are the kings of writing shit. Oh yeah, I don't give a flying fuck if Reset "rocked". They fucking turned into a steaming plate of Fred Durst's shit after he had swallowed a thousand cocks and took it in the ass from Carson Daley.

    If you like Mest (fucking skin heads) and Good Charlette you'll love these guys.

    I think the same

    at warped tour i saw the lead singer come out from the backstage area and there were a couple of girls there wanting to get his autograph. instead of signing their shirts he said "no, im busy." and he walked back to the backstage area where he came from.

    well fuck that guy.

    everytime the misfits play jerry only walks around in the balcony and on the floor signing autographs for everybody even before they go on.

    now thats punk rock.

    Simple Plan sucks. They are absolutely terrible.

    Rules simple plan should follow

    1. Don't cover good bands songs, if you suck.

    Well, they should have looked at their rules and realized they shouldn't have covered Bad Religion, because, well, they suck.

    Give it up. These guys are just plain annoying. Yes we dont have to listen to them but its kind of hard when every time we turn on the radio they are blasting some gay ass song by em. They are friggin everywhere and it annoys us because of all the idiotic people who get fooled and think these guys are punk.

    They get all the fame and success for playing crappy music when a smaller band like THe Red Light Sting gets no credit. These guys get their success from idiots like urself who dont know shit.

    I hope this retarded phase the music industry is going through right now passes over soon, cuz im sick of it.

    I've been meaning to pick up this CD.
    Why does everyone waste so much time hating these guys?
    They do what they want, you do what you want. Nobody forces you to listen to simple plan.
    I think their songs are catchy, fun and good summer music.
    I saw them at warped and they had so much stuff thrown at them. That sucks. punk rock and the people who use that term on this site should know it's about tolerance, not being closed-minded, and have the decency to respect other people.
    I respect simple plan for playing the warped tour despite the animosity.
    I hope they read this and realize that there are people who respect them.
    i like other bands that are considered 'punk' like rise against, bigwig and strike anywhere. But that does not stop me, or limit me to only being able to enjoy that.
    Don't take simple plan too seriously, just enjoy it for what it is - catchy, fun pop music.
    If you hate it that much then go else where.
    Anyone going to warped this summer, even if you hate their music give these guys some respect when they play because they work hard and deserve the chance to.
    It's easy to be an armchair quarterback and criticize everyone. But when it comes down to it... What are you doing to change anything? I say congratulations to simple plan for living there dream, and fuck you to all the jaded, big-headed, condesending, know-it-all, self-righteous 'punk rockers' out there.
    This scene is a childish joke. Grow up, open your eyes, realize their is so much more to life than bitching about what is punk and is not. For one thing all of you kids on here have the internet, so you can't be that punk. Most likely 90% of you are rich, middle class, spoiled children with too much time on your soft little hands..
