Simple Plan
Jun 17th, 2005 by Ashley
I was crazy about Simple Plan before they became popular. Their first album “No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls” totally rocked, and I never get enough of them during that period of time. It’s different from what I used to listen to. It’s refreshing. It’s energetic… It’s what I call kids-rock. It’s designed to make you jumping up and down and get high in a healthy way. It’s not until the release of their second album “Still not getting any” did I know the reason why their first album was so unified in terms of style. They tend to be more conservative when producing the first album, and when it comes to the second one, they’re more confident and sure about what they’re doing and hence are more open to experiences. When I first heard their new album, I was really surprise to find they being capable of making different style of rock music. I love the song “Me Against the World” instantly, and later realized why. It’s more like the rock music I’m used to. It’s more mature… if I’m allowed to say so. The entire album is comprehensive. There are still songs of their “style”, which seems less successful than songs in their first album.
