Free agents for the first time in their storied career, the band kept their circle tight during the recording process, enlisting longtime songwriting partners like We The Kings’ Travis Clark and producers Brian Howes and Jason Van Poederooyen (who worked on the band’s 2011’s album Get Your Heart On!) and Zakk Cervini (blink-182, Good Charlotte). From the skyscraping choruses of “Congratulations” and “Ruin My Life” (ft. Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley) to the unflinching poignancy of the album-closing “Two,” which instantly ranks alongside “Perfect” and “Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me?)” as one of the band’s best closers ever, HARDER THAN IT LOOKS certainly respects Simple Plan’s storied career – and the same spirit that helped the band sell 10 million albums worldwide – without being overtly reverent. The album-opening “Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)” is a cathartic rush of familiarity and freshness – not to mention a bit lyrically prescient, as the COVID-19 pandemic hit shortly after the band wrapped the album. (“We certainly didn’t set out to write a pandemic album,” Bouvier says with a laugh. “It’s funny how some of the songs might seem like that, though.”) There are even spiritual successors to early material, like the glass-half-full skate-punk-leaning “Best Day Of My Life,” quite a 180 for a band who put a song called “The Worst Day Ever” on their genre-defining, Platinum-selling 2002 debut No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls. But you won’t find an ounce of fat on the 10-song album, no obvious plays to recapture the radio waves they claimed in the early aughts with smash hits like “I’d Do Anything,” “I’m Just A Kid” and “Addicted.” Artist Simple Plan Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Simple Plan Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over) Ruin My Life The Antidote Million Pictures of You Anxiety Congratulations Iconic Best Day of My Life Slow Motion Two Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Simple Plan and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Simple Plan No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Lava / Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th May 2023 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Simple Plan No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls £33.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Lava / Atlantic SKU: 0603497833191 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Billy Talent Billy Talent II Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 5th March 2021 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Billy Talent Billy Talent II £27.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2798 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 5th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Crystal Fairy Crystal Fairy Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Ipecac | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd April 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Crystal Fairy Crystal Fairy £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Ipecac SKU: IPC180LPC Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Habibi Habibi Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Kill Rock Stars | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th November 2022 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Habibi Habibi £28.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Kill Rock Stars SKU: LPKRS730X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Knuckle Puck Shapeshifter Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rise Records | 1LP Released 13th October 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Knuckle Puck Shapeshifter £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rise Records SKU: 4050538322415 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View UK Subs Reverse Engineering Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Cleopatra Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st July 2022 £32.00 Select options UK Subs Reverse Engineering £32.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Cleopatra Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st July 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Nirvana Live At The Paramount Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Geffen | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 10th April 2019 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nirvana Live At The Paramount £28.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Geffen SKU: 7732941 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Haybaby They Get There Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Tiny Engines | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 7th June 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Haybaby They Get There £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Tiny Engines SKU: LPTE195 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 7th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cavemen, The Night After Night Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Slovenly | 1LP Released 17th January 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cavemen, The Night After Night £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Slovenly SKU: 702-239 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mumble Tide Everything Ugly Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Nothing Fancy | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th April 2022 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mumble Tide Everything Ugly £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Nothing Fancy SKU: NFRLP053 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Front Bottoms, The Talon Of The Hawk (10 Year Anniversary Edition) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Barnone | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Picture Disc Released 19th May 2023 £24.00 -
