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 Various Artists Todo Muere SBXV Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sacred Bones Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th May 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Todo Muere SBXV £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sacred Bones Records SKU: SBR299LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nots We Are NOTS Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Heavenly | 1LP, 7" Released 17th November 2015 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nots We Are NOTS £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP122 Formats: 1LP, 7" Released Date: 17th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pere Ubu The Art of Walking Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Fire Records | 1LP Released 9th December 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pere Ubu The Art of Walking £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fire Records SKU: FIRELP364 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th December 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View So Pitted Neo Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sub Pop | 1LP Released 19th February 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders So Pitted Neo £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1153 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Low Life Downer Edn Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Alter | 1LP Released 15th March 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Low Life Downer Edn £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Alter SKU: ALT45 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ducking Punches Alamort Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Xtra Mile | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th February 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ducking Punches Alamort £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Xtra Mile SKU: XMR140LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pure X Pure X Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Fire Talk Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th July 2020 £18.00 - £22.00 Select options Pure X Pure X £18.00 - £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fire Talk Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th July 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs King Of Cowards Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rocket Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th August 2023 £23.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs King Of Cowards £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rocket Recordings SKU: LAUNCH321LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Matt's picks View Product Quick View Amyl And The Sniffers Comfort To Me Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rough Trade | 1LP Released 10th September 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Amyl And The Sniffers Comfort To Me £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rough Trade Released Date: 10th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Happy Accidents You Might Be Right Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Alcopop | 1LP Released 28th July 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Happy Accidents You Might Be Right £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Alcopop SKU: ALCOPOP136X Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
