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 Melvins, The (A) Senile Animal Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Ipecac | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th June 2021 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Melvins, The (A) Senile Animal £31.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Ipecac SKU: IPC228LP Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Matthew Ryan Hustle Up Starlings Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Blue Rose | 1LP Released 31st January 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matthew Ryan Hustle Up Starlings £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Blue Rose SKU: BLULP0701 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lambrini Girls God’s Country / Body Of Mine Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | City Slang | 7", Coloured Vinyl Released 19th April 2024 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lambrini Girls God’s Country / Body Of Mine £13.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: City Slang SKU: SLANG50582 Formats: 7", Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Oh Sees Face Stabber Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Castle Face | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th August 2019 £30.00 - £32.00 Select options Oh Sees Face Stabber £30.00 - £32.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Castle Face Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th August 2019 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Turnstile Nonstop Feeling Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Roadrunner Records | 1LP Released 22nd October 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Turnstile Nonstop Feeling £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Roadrunner Records SKU: 0075678643118 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Spirit Of The Beehive, The Pleasure Suck Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Tiny Engines | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 24th March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Spirit Of The Beehive, The Pleasure Suck £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Tiny Engines SKU: LPTE166 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tiny Moving Parts Swell – Indies Only Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Big Scary Monsters | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th January 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tiny Moving Parts Swell – Indies Only £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Big Scary Monsters SKU: BSM222V1 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Panic!
