by Dominika | Dec 27th, 2016 | no comments


The popular British magazine Rock Sound revealed the first batch of their TOP 50 albums released in 2016 along with a short description/review of each of them.

Simple Plan’s ‘Taking One For The Team’ has obviously made it to the list – at #46, this is what Rock Sound had to say about the band’s fifth record:

“These pop-punk veterans proved they could still hang in 2016. Simple Plan’s first album in half a decade was full of youthful energy and naivety, and boasted guest vocalists ranging from New Found Glory to Nelly. A collection of high octane pop-rock anthems that weren’t big and were by no means clever, but damn, they were catchy.”
