No,I don't understand you
Simple Plan wrote Motley Crue's comeback single, bet you didn't know that did you? That’s them being rock'n'roll. They must be rolling in the royalties as I type this. Simple Plan were in an Olsen Twins movie, you know one of those really atypical teen movies that they show on Nickelodeon and you only watch when there's absolutely nothing on the music channels. Earlier this year they sold out four dates in the UK, I was at one of them and dear lord did those kids go off for the singalong and bounce along tunes, it seemed Simple Plan's purpose was to provide happy feel good music for the youth of today, for whom Busted just weren't punk enough. Apparently this new single off their latest album is "heavier", maybe they learnt a new chord; I don't really know, but hey, maybe it'll give us some insight as to why this band sold 2 million copies of their first CD and if this single will help shift some more of the new one 'Still Not Getting Any'.
This single is called "Welcome To My Life", now the first Simple Plan album was them trying to play pop punk for prepubescent kids, the idea I get from this is that they're now trying to cater to the "angsty" emo pop audience. Because, of course once you've grown up from the age of 11 to the grand old age of 13, you hurt, y'know? When mom sends you to your room to do your homework while you're trying to watch TRL, it's gotta suck, right dude? Simple Plan are so desperately trying to purvey this sad feel sorry for me vibe on this tune that it falls flat of even having the catchy hooks they're known for. Fair enough it's not meant to be ground breaking, but it's like a watered down over produced Busted ballad. Pathetic and lacking in any substance, musically and lyrically. Unless your biggest issue in life was that you went to bed without pudding last night, this CD should be best left alone.
