The offical album cover
Big Bad World was released in 2008 in association with Hollywood records inc.
The album was hounded by reviewers, with the Album Project giving the album a score of 2/5 and saying "the new Plain White T's seem to be making music with the intention of not simply becoming a one hit wonder ("Hey There Delilah") and "making it big" but in the process have watered down everything." AbsolutePunk.net reviewer Chris Fallon gave the album a score of only 24%, saying "the band continues their steep decline by writing some of the cheesiest, most gimmicky songs even Kidz Bop wouldn't consider covering".
