Review - Simple Plan - Your Love Is A Lie (Single)

Simple Plan - Your Love Is A Lie (Single)

4 out of 10

I thought Simple Plan had disappeared as soon as they stopped touring the prepubescent 'No Pads, No Helmets.Just Balls', with its infuriating single 'I'm Just A Kid'. Turns out I was wrong, they've been ploughing on in their native Canada, the US and Japan, and five guys who look like they should the poster boys for Mediterranean football teams playing in Euro 2008 were unlikely to just stop having their pictures taken. 'Your Love Is A Lie' has been on MTV and Radio 1 for ages now, so you have probably already decided whether you love/hate/don't care about it. So just some notes then: it sounds almost exactly like Green Day's 'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams' with an R&B twist, don't you think? Which will no doubt help Pierre Bouvier and co become massive. They've pinched Green Day's black and red, 'American Idiot' look too, and this comes from that dreaded thing: the self-titled, 'mature' album. Listen: www.myspace.com/simpleplan
