No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls

No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar EmptyStar Empty

You can tell a lot about a band by the company it keeps. Simple Plan's close chums include Good Charlotte and Blink 182, giving one a fair hint of the sound the group's debut, though, judging by song titles like "Im Just a Kid," "The Worst Day Ever," and "God Must Hate Me," its clear these Canadian pop-punkers are aiming for a younger demographic still. Ignore the bikini-clad babes that festoon the sleeve--theres none of Blink 182s smutty double-entendres here. Frontman Pierre Bouvier writes about skipping school, crashing dads car, and lusting after girls that dont know he exists. "Every day," he sob, "is the worst day ever." The music itself is far from glum. "Id Do Anything" is a beaming Green Day-style chugger, while "When Im With You" is a tale of obsession and heartbreak that owes more to the Go-Go's than Rancid. Seasoned punk fans will be put off by the excessive juvenilia, but the new wave should lap this up. --Louis Pattison

    Pros & Cons :
    they appeal mostly to a young demographic right with this album and with still not gettin' any, but they have definitly matured with the newest one.

    Pros & Cons :
    they have great songs like perfect who show what a bad relationship that a boy had with his father and yet it still turned out ok in the end.

    Best Band Ever!!!

    Pros & Cons :
    surprisingly, the track that best shows what these rockers are capable of isn't one that voices any tween frustrations, but rather a catchy one praising the singer's one-of-a-kind girlfriend:

    ...As countless commentators have pointed out, they're by no means emo or hardcore--but they must be accepted for what they are, not run over for what they aren't. From budding crushes gone wrong (" ... read more

    Pros & Cons :
    even then, they had a distinctive sound that set them apart from other bands of the time.

    ...And I wouldn't be as mad if they would just be labelled differently. Even though blink's 1999-2003 albums were mislabelled, they EARNED the punk label early in their career, back when they produc ... read more

    even social distortion had their own little sound to offer.

    ...It's not that this sounds on it's own is bad. When Blink 182 first came out, they had a lot of fun to offer. But gawd, where do we draw the line? After that, we had ( in no particular order) Su ... read more
