 Stellar Sophomore CD for Simple Plan! June 20, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Simple Plan's second original CD, "Still Not Getting Any . . . " gives its legion of fans no letdown after the long wait for the second CD. If anything, it is an improvement on the first.
Fans at their shows have already been introduced to "Welcome to My Life" and "Shut Up!", both good, catchy songs just packed with the adolescent angst that is SP's trademark. "Shut Up!" in particular, shows the band's knack for combining downbeat lyrics with upbeat tunes, in a song which I interpret as a teenager's thoughts while being lectured by his parents.
Something's changed a bit from the first CD, and that's the band's perspective. Many of the songs on "No Pads, No Helmets, . . . Just Balls" had the perspective of a teen complaining about a poor relationship with a parent. There's still a bit of that in songs like "Me Against The World" and "Shut Up!", but this time, more songs talk about a romantic relationship gone bad (for example, "Perfect World", "Everytime" and "Thank You"), and the perspective is more young adult than teenager--"Everytime" talks about the partner waking the singer at 3 a.m. and driving to dawn--not likely if still living at home. The band's characters are maturing, as is their music.
Other notable songs include "Crazy", a throwback to Reset's (the predecessor band to Simple Plan) socially-conscious songs, and "Jump", plainly intended as a concert song but very strong in its own right.
Perhaps the strongest song on the CD is "Untitled", a downbeat song with downbeat music, the dying thought of someone who doesn't know why he's dying, and despite the people around him, is dying utterly alone. The sadness which runs through many of the band's works is here in full strength. Softer than usual and using a piano (shades of "Meet You There" on the first CD), even if never released as a single, it may well be the band's best song to date.
While lead singer Pierre Bouvier did almost all the singing on the first CD, much more is heard from backup singers Sebastien Lefebvre and David Derosiers do a lot more of the singing here, and they are well worth listening to.
Extras on the DVD side include film of the guys, almost an extension of the DVD "A Big Package For You"
Highly, highly recommended.
 Emo at its best............ July 14, 2005

In case you were thinking, I'm being sarcastic. This is the top of being emo, these guys do not rock and they are more pop than punk, and their song and lyrics are "what" and "huh?".

The punk-rock group from Montreal, did a pretty good job on their album "Still Not Getting Any." Simple Plan is a Canadian punk band who has just started to make it big in the last few years. Their main vocalist is Pierre Bouvier. David Desrosiers and Sebastien LeFebvre are both back-up vocalists. They both have other attributes as well. David is the bass player and Sebastien plays the guitar. Their drummer is Chuck Comeau and the lead guitarist is Jeff Stinco.
"Still Not Getting Any" starts out with a bang. "Shut Up!" is the first track on the CD and it is an up tempo song. It is followed with another up beat song that is good as well called "Welcome To My Life." "Perfect World" is next in line, but is to slow. Following is the song "Thank You," in which they pick up the beat again. They drop down again with the song "Me Against The World," which is just to slow, like "Perfect World." "Crazy" is not as fast paced, but is still good. They come back with another faster song called "Jump." It has a great beat and good lyrics. "Every Time" is another slow song and the last of that type on the CD, thank goodness. The next two songs "Promise" and "One" are ok and that is about all I can say for those. The last song on the album is the best song on the CD. Though it is slow it is different than Simple Plan's other slow songs. The track "Untitled" has great lyrics. The song asks, "how could this happen to me," after he made a mistake, because he doesn't know how, whatever happened, could happen to him.
This is a good CD, but has a few bad slow songs, which hurt them on this album. Without the slow songs it would have been an excellent CD. I did like it, for the most part, so I'm still going to give it a rating of four stars.

Love it May 27, 2006
I've already reviewed the actual CD "Still Not Getting Any..." so I'll just talk about the bonus tracks/videos.
The live tracks are amazing and so are the videos. Lots of bonus footage. :)
My only complaint is that the VCD quality is not the best. So if you're expecting amazing video quality, you won't find it on this CD.
