坏孩子们回来了~^o^

距离上一张专辑的时间实在有点久，这次看Pierre Bouvier越来越成熟有味道了。之前心里还是有怀疑的，会不会变味，或者有了新的什么尝试让人接受不了。开始听When I am gone，不确定，可听到Take my hand，立刻意识到SP回来了。对于里面的歌，每一首都很喜欢，让我惊喜的是I Can Wait Forever，完全被Pierre Bouvier的声音迷住了，他对这种慢歌处理我很喜欢。

在YouTube上看SP的OFFICIAL youtube channel(http://www.youtube.com/user/SimplePlan）发现style里给的是Power pop，跟我一直以为的pop-punk有区别

下面是Wikipedia给Power pop的解释

Power pop(or powerpop) is a popular musical genre that draws its inspiration from 1960s British and American pop and rock music. It typically incorporates a combination of musical devices such as strong melodies, crisp vocal harmonies, economical arrangements, and prominent guitar riffs. Instrumental solos are usually kept to a minimum, and blues elements are largely downplayed. Recordings tend to display production values that lean toward compression and a forceful drum beat. Instruments usually include one or more electric guitars, an electric bass guitar, a drum kit, and sometimes electric keyboards or synthesizers. While its cultural impact has waxed and waned over the decades, it's among rock's most enduring subgenres.

可是Wikipedia上对SP解释的时候Genre(s)是Pop punk

相比较，我觉得Power pop的成分多一点，SP身上现在似乎没有太多anti-establishment的影子了，当然了,没必要较真，关键的是歌和以前一样好听。

很好奇的是为什么这一次以乐队的名字做为专辑的名字，感觉像新人。难道是想不到更好的名字，还是本色回归，或者怕别人把他们忘了，不解。
