"Pierre Bouvier is still as charismatic as ever with his witty lyrics and exceptional vocals."

More Simple Plan More Simple Plan

Heavy guitar riffs explode off the album in opener Opinion Overload as the punk rock beat takes over, while single Boom! has catchy lyrics and an infectious sound that makes you want to dance.

The rest of the album has a mellow energy, with a few catchy, upbeat songs — but they lose that rock feel and become a little poppy. Pierre Bouvier is still as charismatic as ever with his witty lyrics and exceptional vocals. Singing In The Rain featuring R City is riddled with Jamaican vibes, while I Don't Wanna Go To Bed featuring Nelly is on the verge of being a serious pop song. It's like they're trying to change their style. Simple Plan, stick to what you know.
