Serving as an answer to the plethora of American-born, third- and
fourth-generation pop-punk bands that include Fenix TX and Riddlin'
Kids comes Simple Plan, a Montreal-based quintet who packed their
debut with plenty of anthems steeped in adolescent angst trimmed
with plenty of shout-along-choruses, sweet harmonies, and
unadulterated hooks. The album title hints at the band's penchant
for toilet humor so it comes as no surprise that Blink 182's Mark
Hoppus and Good Charlotte's Joel Madden both put in cameos on the
yearning "I'd Do Anything" and the defiant "You Don't Mean
Anything" respectively. When you get past the AMERICAN PIE-like
comedic sensibilities, Simple Plan slips in a few more serious
nuggets like an open letter to a combative father ("Perfect") and
an infectious ode to self-loathing ("God Must Hate Me"). Of course,
these Canucks with catchy songs steep most of their best material
in the trenches of unrequited amour ranging from the
double-entendre-littered "Addicted" and chugging love letter "My
Alien" to "I Won't Be There," a peppy song that chronicles the end
of a relationship. Simple Plan proves American teens don't have the
market cornered on angst and emotional upheaval.
