number seventeen

so you know that band that you loved when you were like thirteen or fourteen and you thought they were the coolest kids EVER to ever ever ever exist on the entire planet and their music really spoke to you and all of that lovely shit?

yes well that band for me is simple plan.

please laugh all you want.

can't change the past, right? might as well embrace it.

anyways. so their new single "when i'm gone." it's different. actually it's very different from their usual style. i miss their old style. a lot. but i give them kudos for them trying new things. that's what being a musician is all about.

but goddddd their new CD cover.

like. it looks. like. they were just joking.

but. then i realized.
they were serious.

and i slapped my forehead and just went "oh god."

it's basically them. standing there. attempting to look badass.
with tons of burning buildings behind them.

and i think. it's pretty awesome. for. like. i don't know. a gag?
i mean it's cute. and all.

but they pretty much look like idiots.

apparently now pierre (yes his name is pierre. how effing badass is that?) has posted a blog on his myspace, all offended and hurt that no one likes the album cover.

and i feel kind of bad for disliking it...

it's just not very professional...

it's almost as if they're giving out permission slips for people to make fun of them.

but BAD ALBUM ART OR NOT. I WILL STILL LOVE THEM.

stupid boys.

can't they mature?

they're like almost thirty.

BOYS.

honestly.

their lyrics basically have not matured at ALL since album number one. which makes me sad. because they have a lot of potential. they just need to. fucking MATURE.

and they have sparks of maturity every once in awhile.

like "perfect." great song. could have been deeper, but it was great with what they had to work with.

and "untitled" was gorgeous. makes me cry. and actually a lot of the songs on the second record were really good. i mean, i think the lyrics could definitely still be worked on and made to be on a deeper level...

but the new single seems to be a step backwards as far as maturity goes.

but the trying-new-things. i commend them for that.





random music rant.

their music video.

is nice. something.

i'm done.
