ALBUM COVER
December 14th, 2007

This has probably been one of the hardest decision we’ve had to make as a band in a long time. In Simple Plan, we’ve always acted as a democracy, but at 5 people it’s a lot easier than the thousands of people that emailed us with their passionate comments.

After taking everything into consideration, things are, funny enough, split very evenly. Some of you that loved the first cover came out and told us how much you still loved it. Others, seeing the new black and white image, immediately expressed how much more they liked it.

When all was said and done, and believe us this decision comes after many arguments back and forth, we chose to go with the black and white cover. As we previously said, we like both of them equally, but the bottom line comes down to this: the original cover we presented brought out a lot of intense negative comments. Those that hated it, reeeally hated it. The new one hasn’t garnered such negative passion. It seems to us that while some of you prefer the color cover, no one hates the black and white one. At the end of the day the music is really what will define this album, not the cover and we can all confidently say that when it comes out, there will be no divide and this whole cover story will be far behind.

Without further ado, here is the cover to our new album

  16. lubiik Says:

    you guys are fast…i you did a right choice…

  17. Kat Says:

    Awesome ;] I like it :)

  18. Linda Says:

    I would have been happy no matter which one you had picked because I think some people put down too much thought into this, plus they were both awesome. And if they had only read the way Pierre interpret that cover, it made it even harder to misinterpret. But then, there will always be idiots out there. However, I just wanna say that I loved everything you said in this… and you are truly amazing guys ’cause you always care, even when it’s not even people who should call themselves fans that have an outburst at you. Bottomline… thank you for always been so awesome! And I hope some people will shut up and end their stupid petitions and focus on the music… or go live on a deserted island alone.

  19. Elizabeth Says:

    i love the new cover! and i agree its all about the music!!!

  20. ferpy Says:

  40. JB Says:

    The other one was so different… it was eyecatching, and would’ve stood out from the shelves T_T I know it’s about the music… but… *sigh* I’ll suck it up, don’t worry. In the end, it was your decision to make, you made it and I’ll respect that. ^_^

    …can the other one be turned into a poster then? <.< I reallllllllllllllllly like that one.

    ~JB~

  41. sabrinaa Says:

    Wonderfull !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just love it and can’t wait for the album !! I love u guys and will always whatever u do lol !!!

  43. Storygirl Says:

    Well I do like this one, but I admit that you don’t notice the whole band when you look at it. Chuck and Jeff are kinda off to the side and small. Maybe looking up would have helped? O well still a good picture other wise and can’t wait for the CD

    -Storygirl

  50. Maria Clara Says:

    ”Some of you that loved the first cover came out and told us how much you still loved it.”

    lol I totally saw myself in this.

    Nah, I’m not gonna say I liked your decision because seriously, that other one was so much better. This new one it’s simply not you. It’s empty, it’s cold and I don’t feel anything when I look at it. But that’s ok, I’m still buying the cd haha :)
    But it feels so good to know that you guys took some time to read aaaaaall the emails (or at least a good amount of them) and that you listened to us and tried your best to not be unfair at all. Ty bbs :*

    ♥

  51. Karol! Says:

    Hello guys!!!

    Well… I like this cover, but the other one is the best..
    I like it! :D
    I’m crazy for hear the new album! I love the new video and the new song.. are perfect! You are the BEST!
    I LOVE YOU!
    Kisses and… bye bye!

  52. Claudia Says:

    perfect choice.

  53. Spongebob Square Pants! Says:

    Awww. I so wanted cover #2. Lols!
    But then again i ‘rather’ hear Sp saying “We have chose cover #1″,
    instead of hearing them saying “ops our next album will be cancelled”
    hahax! Alright! Sp rawks! =D Good choice then.
    And seriously, the blog entry makes alot of sense aboout cover #1
    and cover #2. After reading the blog entry i think i agreed on the black
    & white. hohoooohooooooooooooos.
    And of coz, like what most said As long it’s still Simple Plan on it!
    *EXCITED!* =D
    All the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
    PCJSD Rocks! =DDDDDD

  54. ashlee Says:

    omg sexual!! I love it so much…can’t wait for the album to come out…I feel lost without new SP music! U all look so hot in black n white lol!

    <3 Ash

    P.S. Come back to Australia (brisbane) soon…we miss u down under!!!

  55. Fê Says:

    :D
    yeah this one is really better *___*
    thaks for hear us guys, any other band do this :P
    but i dont care about the cover, the music is what really metter guys !

    hope to see you in another Simple Plan show in Brazil ♥

  56. Amelia Says:

    NUUUUUUUUUU I prefered the other one. So did everyone I asked actually. :(

  57. sara Says:

    i like the color-cover more!!but black and wihte is ok!!;-)

  58. sarah Says:

    i totally agree with you guys. when it all comes down to it what matters most will be the music not what the cover looks like. : )

  59. Shadow Says:

    well… i liked the first one a lot better… but this one’s great too :) aahhh…the cover dont matter….its the music !! :D

  60. Lauren Says:

    love it!!
    can’t wait to buy it!

  61. Claire Says:

    perfect choice!
    love u <3

  64. xNathalie Says:

    wooow yeah! I love this cover! :)
    I love you guys :)

    xNathy ♥.

  65. Jaque Says:

    well, too bad is not the other one, but don’t really care to tell u the truth, i won’t be looking at the album cover for hours, but for sure will be listening to the album for hours, so what matters to me is the content of the album not really the cover…plus u know what they say don’t jugde a book by its cover…; )
    take care guys

  66. tifany Says:

    hey boys what’s up ?

    c trop cooool c’est mon préférer de cover :P

    vivement la sortie de l’album :D

  67. Jess.xo Says:

    I don’t know these peoples is talkin’ ’bout! This one is mucho better! Black and White for a self-titled album is not only logical, but it’s damn cool-lookin’!

    And from an “in-depth” POV:

    The space between Pierre and Jeff portrays the “disproportion” of life… the lyrics that SP predominantly expresses..

    and black and white? the irony of a “simple plan”

    duh!

    hehe xP

    Missin’ you guys bunches!

    ♥Jess.xo

  68. Justine Says:

    I still stand by what I said, the original owned this one by a mile. I’m sure if you guys had posted the black and white one first, it would have garnered just as much criticism, if not more. But well, I guess what ultimately matters, is the music in the album. So I’m okay no matter which cover you guys choose, it’s not like it’ll stop me from going out and getting the album the day it comes out.

  69. Aline A. Zsigmond Says:

    awesome! both were really beautiful. i knew this one was gonna win :P
    but the important thing isn’t the looking. the important thing is the music, right? ;)
    i’ll love you guys and your music forever, no matter the CD cover.

    I love you♥
    Je vous aime♥
    Eu amo vocês♥
    ;)

  70. Ebba Says:

    thanks for the opportunity to say what we think,
    you guys are special, you always make us fans feel special :)
    (and not many do that)

    And I’m very happy cause this was my favourite cover :D hehe
    You are awesome !! keep going, I love you<3<3

  71. Rocio Arana Says:

    I like the two covers!
    so i’m happy with your choice
    i love the thing that you take the opinion of your fans!
    that it’s really good
    because your hear them and you didn’t are of that tipical bands
    that just care have a lot of money and nothing more!!
    i love simple plan!
    i can wait to have the new disc!
    ^^

  72. Castan Says:

  75. Flotta Says:

    You basterds what have you done?
    You choose the wrong bloody one!

    Just JKG! LOL!

    But really though I agree with Spongebob Square Pants! you should make the one with the fire into a poster! Hey I would get it even if no one else would!
    Hugs and Cuddles!

  77. eddie Says:

    i don’t like this one…
    cover2’s much more better!!!!!!!!!!!!

  78. Nayomi Says:

    Yaaaaaaaaay!
    I’m happy with your decision, guys.
    Still can’t believe the fuss that people made over the first one. Grrrr.
    LOVE YOUR DECISION. <3
    But I love you guys more! Hehe. x
    ~Nayomi xxx

  79. Ju L. Says:

    seriously? i’m totally happy with your decision. i actually choose the other colored one, but it was like that: “doesn’t REALLY matter, it won’t change the way i think about everything related to this band and both covers are awsome”.
    in the first place, in fact, i didn’t like the flames one so much… then, i started liking it better, specially for the meaning you gave to it. THEN, there’s the photography… let’s be honest, the coloured cover photography is way better than the b&w. i’m sorry, thats true, you guys look damn good in both, but my favorite picture is in the coloured cover.
    BUT, as you said, i didn’t hate the b&w AT ALL. i loved the background all simple and black and.. well, clear. i loved the picture too, it’s pretty, not the best but totally awsome too. i’m way too satisfied with your choice and i’m gonna support you no matter what may comes. and you’re totally right on making this decision speacially because everyone liked the black and white one, even if they loved or hated the coloured one.
    so, ieah, WHOOT WHOOOOOOOT i loved it.
    perfect choice & as you said, in the end, it doesn’t matter so much, the music is what counts ;) and i’m pretty pretty sure it’ll be blowing mind and amazing as everything you do.

    i love you, my boys. ♥ and i couldn’t be happier with your decision.

  80. David Says:

    Should have chose the other one… :(

  81. Kristen Says:

    I love it. Very vintage, and the thing is vintage is coming back so it all works.

  82. Ju L. Says:

    can’t believe i actually made a comment so small. :O YAY FOR ME!

  83. Marilena from Italy Says:

    guys I like, this it is beautiful, and then all of that which you choose is ok…. after all the main point is the music that is inside….kisses

  84. yanna Says:

    oh cool!!! they’re both awesome but it’s still cool that the black and white cover won. i like the whole superheroes effect on the first one by the way XD

  85. Aline Diman [BRAZIL] Says:

    WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWW

    “Leave the past in the past gonna find the future”

    HUahuAHUAHU…

    I LOVE YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

    COME TO BRAZIL, WE LOVE YOU!

  86. elina Says:

    I think you finally made the right choice!
    This black and white album cover is much better that the first one.

  87. nadiahsbi Says:

    ow.

  88. Véro Rock Star Says:

    ok…..i’m very sad about it…..i don,t like this cover. I think it’s a good one for the back on the album cover with the song on it. but for the big cover….I don’t think so!!!
    well…..the choice has been made….so whatever I’m saying will not influence anything now….but the other one was better cause it was like you were there AGAIN even after all the bad things people are saying or even after EVERYTHING !!!! you’re still there and you come with a new sound.
    wel….I’d like to have the other album picture on this album…it sould be great!
    the cd will be good….I’m sure of it!!!

    have a nice one guys!

  89. Carol Says:

    I loved both covers, buuuut the second one was much better.
    Ok, it doesn’t matter, ’cause the CD is coming! And I’m really freaking out about it. The good music is what really matter, and you guys do it very well.

    Love you, guys ♥
    p.s.: Come back to Brazil.

  90. Emily Says:

    I would have supported whichever cover you decided to go with, but I did vote for this one. I think it’s GREAT that you guys take the fans votes and opinions into consideration! NO other band does that.

  91. Tal :) Says:

    Great choice ;)
    I love you guys
    please come to Israel..

    ♥ Tal, Tel-Aviv, Israel.

  92. GD.MCR.Girl Says:

    I’m sorry but the first cover was much better then the second. That’s a pity, but I know…it’s your choice.

  93. Maria from sweden!! Says:

    Heei! I love both of them so it don’t matters to me, oh one thing matters YOU MUST BE ONTHE COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3 haha

  95. Loli Says:

    Yeaaaah!

    Love yaah!

    (only 60 daays! =D)

  96. nora Says:

    Hey guys,
    I just gotta say I loved the other one more, this one looks more like a single cover than an album cover. But, it is still awesome.

    nora
    i love you guys
    COME TO SWEDEN!!!!!!

  97. Tom Bell Says:

    I personally liked the flaming cover more. Couldn’t see why there was an uproar with the fire art. However my only gripe really was that the album was self-titled :-P.

    Nevertheless it’s all about the music and I will keep waiting for the album ;)

  98. sund0wnx Says:

    WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH !

  109. Amanda DENMARK Says:

    That’s the one I voted for, yay. =D I’m glad you picked it, but it’s sad letting the other picture going to waste though. But oh well…

    Nice choice =) I never thought about that no one said they didn’t like your chosen one until you said it. Makes sense why you chose it.. + it’s looks good!

    Really happy with the final result over here in Denmark! =D

    Have a good day everyone. =)

    Amanda//

  110. Blandine Says:

    although this one looks nice, I’m thinking a mixture of both would have been better.

    Using the black and white picture background but the foreground of the color one but putting it in B&W.

    see what I mean ?:)

    in fact i didn’t hate the other cover
    but this seems to be like more you
    so well yeah you’re right

  124. Bartsam Says:

    First i liked the first Cover but a lot of my Freinds said it lokks like the US5 Boygroup and i hate this shitty boygroups and i think the new Cover is something othere and also good and it´s cool that you experimenting and try to make new things you just the best Band of the World
    hoipefully more famous in Gemany Munich

  125. Tony Says:

    nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

    this makes me sad…..

    but i still cant wait for the album…

    Whats the concept for this one? i liked the meaning behind the other one

  127. le* Says:

    when I saw the first cover.. i didn’t like..
    and later i saw that was good idea..
    But.. this cover is better =)
    don’t have affect’s of fire, photoshop.. is more beautiful
    (=

    I don’t see the hour to buy my cd! *-*

  128. Jan Says:

    TBH, it looks like the MTV Hard Rock Live Cover. pierre shoud’ve shown his tattoo. haha. just bein’ random. keep rocking!! \m/

  129. Karolina Says:

    wow.
    AMAZING!! <3
    I love you 4ever. !!!!!!!!!!!
    Come to Poland !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  130. Janie Fontaine Says:

    Ok je suis vraiment déçu du choix du cover !
    Sérieusement, le cover noir et blanc m’attires beaucoup moins.
    Aucune expression…Chuck..n’est pas à son meilleur et on en vois que Pierre et DAvid.

    Entout es cas, je crois que la premiere idée était la meilleure. Celui-là ne m’attires pas du tout, il ne se démarquera pas des autres. Ça ne frappe pas autant l’oeil.

    Guys, pourquoi ne pas avoir gardé votre 1ere idée ??? Je suis vraiment déçue mais bon, il faut faire avec. Je crois que nous n’avons pas tous vu la même chose entre les deux images.

    Je crois que cette photo sera un dur combat encore. :P

    Bonne journée !

  131. Leeyana Says:

    Aww… LoL!
    I liked 2nd one but this one is not bad either & its not hurt to ‘face’ the difference once in a while… :)
    So, right now…. can’t wait for the album!!!!! :D

  132. Pedro Says:

    white and black
    i don’t believe
    2 plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    =[

  133. Alexis is a Jesus Freak fo sho Says:

    Awww….you took the wussy way out.

    this cover is uber boring.

    but, i agree the music makes the album.

    God Bless,
    Alexis

  134. Michaela Says:

    hey guys,
    i was really very disappointed but…i think….it no matter…i will always love your music.
    i prefered cover 2, i really understand what you mean…this cover is a little bit sad but nice, it’s true. But you looked hotter on the other one.
    ok, album cover is black and white.
    yeah, i like it. i’m gonna find more positive things :D
    good luck guys
    i love you

  135. Karolina Says:

    and… this album cover is so much better than previous ;)
    I love you guys!!!

  136. Fred Says:

    i prefer 2
    you couldn’t change the cover
    =[
    but i’ll buy your new albun

  137. Laia Levis Says:

    Holaaaa!!
    I like this cover while the other was my favorite.
    But this is also great and what really matters are you and your Music.

    Os quiero a todos!!
    I love you guys more!

    ….From Spain ♥

  138. Ash Says:

    I think the fact you guys reconsidered the album cover just because some of the fans didn’t like it shows how appreciative of your fans you actually are.

    I love the first album cover with the fire a lot more, but I think I can cope with this one, haha. :)
    I can’t wait for the record and to actually hear the music!

  139. Tam Says:

    Wowww, la meilleure décison qui as été prise !!!! Simple…..and You !!!!!! Anyway come to see us in Québec !!!!!!!

  140. Manu Says:

    Sorry, but I don’t like this one, it’s so stupid, it’s not beautiful!!!!!!

  141. anna Says:

    hells yeah this cover fucking rocks ok!

  142. Gabi Says:

    Way!!!
    I love this cover! And I totally understand how hard it must’ve been to make a decision. But I just wanted to say that I love how you guys put everyone’s opinions on the table before making a final decision. Even if it’s your fans opinions. Not many bands do that, and that is what makes you guys amazing! You always put your fans first and it’s the reason why we will always be behind you guys no matter what. You definitely have an amazing following of fans that will never leave you. =]
    After all of that, we all know that the most important part is the MUSIC!! No matter what cover you guys chose, it’s the music we really care about. So keep on ROCKING!

    SP ROCKS!

  152. astri Says:

    i knew it. just one day i didnt go online and i miss the whole thing!
    y did u only give us a day to vote? T.T
    but it’s ok. i like the new album cover! :)

  153. Spongebob Square Pants! Says:

    hey peeps! =D
    those who sounds disappointed dont be! there’s cover 1 and cover 2. they only can choose one of the covers. So it’s quite obvious when they choose one of them it’s going to disappoint at least one person. but then again they’re not perfect! they cant really make everyone happy at the same time, but you guys sure must remember they did put alot of effort to make sure everyone is happy, yeahs ALOT of EFFORT! sp rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

    so sp? are you guys going to make a poster of the cover 2 the one with the flames? Ha! kidding.

  154. Fanny the frenchy Says:

    HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
    jvous aime
    ;)

  155. Glenn Says:

    You chose the right cover if you ask me, look cool:)
    I can’t wait for the album so I can hear the music on it
    Keep up the good work guys:)

  156. Jennifer Says:

    Honnetement, c’est le meilleur choix que vous pouviez faire ;)
    La SIMPLicité vous représente très bien!
    :)
    Jenn

  157. Miah Deschannel Says:

    Great :] Even though I like it just as much as the other one :]

  158. Caroline Says:

    WE HAVE ANOTHER IDEA!

    What do you think about using the cover that lose on the back of the BOOKLET ??
    we think it would be cool; who doesn’t like the official cover can change it for the other which is in the back!
    we think it would be fair with all fans!
    So, think about it OK =] maybe it’s a good solution!

    P.S. Come back to Brazil!!

  159. Aya Says:

    Good choice guys.

  160. Charlotte Says:

    WHY???? Please don´t think that I don´t like it but… now I think that it´s not you on this cover… Do you understand??? But.. it´s true that you look little bit better on this… but it´s ok… Now it´s for me strange that you changed cover… but it´s OK… you look great… I LIKE IT!!!!!!
    But I still can´t understand why… It´s about you not about your fans..
    I´m fan too but I think that It´s not about me…
    And I think that people who wanted to change your cover aren´t really fans… THEY SUCK!!!!
    Ok that´s all and please don´t forget that SLOVAKIA LOVES YOU!!!!!

  161. sund0wnx Says:

    C’est clair Je suis D’accords Pumba !

    Faut quelle arrête. Personne ne se plein. Simple plan a bien été gentil de nous demander notre avis. Alors “CHARLOTTE” Accepte. C’est pas la fin du monde !

    Charlotte please accept their choice. You said to be a fan when you react badly on the subject. Do not critique other fan. Thank you.

    Because you are yourself one. And at least you have said. But you do not react as such.

    Des Biiis0ux pour vous Simple plan .
    Je vous aimes, et merci pour tous (l)

  162. Fanny the frenchy Says:
