Waiting for the hate to trickle in... I actually loved "When I'm Gone" so was looking forward to this, first single off new album:

 

 

That's out next Monday over here, and the album follows on the 20th of June. Bit meh about it at first, good to see them going back to their earlier sound rather than pandering to the electro crowd though.

 

EDIT: Oh, and forgot to mention the most important news - the track features Rivers Cuomo. That's by far the most exciting collaboration on the album though as Natasha Bedingfield (f*** me), Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low (who are surely just a younger and less Canadian Simple Plan anyway, not helping their cause by drawing direct comparison between the two) and K'naan (he sure likes working with bands everyone here hates!) are also on there.

Oh Rivers :no:

 

does this band seriously have any fans above the age of 12?

Yes! I hear they've all turned 15 now! ;)

 

For me, I really enjoyed When I'm Gone. That's as far as it goes for me. :(

Hmm... this is not... great?

 

I used to like their earlier stuff; 'Addicted', 'Perfect', 'Shut Up!', 'Welcome To My Life', 'Untitled' (yeah. LOL) and 'When I'm Gone'. I don't think I like anything else by them then.

Loved When I'm Gone, enjoyed this single with Rivers, honestly can't stand anything else by them.

Oh Rivers :no:

 

does this band seriously have any fans above the age of 12?

I'd like to think I would count :D

they are not that bad actually , needs to take some drastic steps to increase there fan-following

The definetly beat Nickleback to the award of Canada's worse band.

Rediscovered this a few years later, the Rivers, Natasha, and K’Naan/Sean Paul tracks aren’t that bad but nothing else on the album is memorable :lol:

Aside from being generally terrible, are these not some of the most dated lyrics ever written? :rofl:
