no love in here for the best band from maryland??? ;-)
i cant wait for their new album, im excited to see where they go after good morning revival, it wasn't their best, but it wasn't bad, i just wanna hear some new good charlotte jams.

and of course the young and the hopeless is such a good record!
what you guys think?

[cirerelleum]

I still love their self titled.

[EvilZeppelin]

How about Frank Zappa.... :-p

[xtheaudition]

I still love their self titled.
favorite song off it? mines probably "Seasons"

[DogSizedBird]

Terrible fucking band.

[meroki22]

I'd rather listen to simple plan

[xtheaudition]

I'd rather listen to simple plan
are they still around? i haven't heard anything from them in a couple of years.

[wtfTouchMyBalls]

i'll always have a soft spot for this band. i've liked everything up until Good Morning but i've finally listened to it recently and it's okay for what it is. stoked for something new.

[NateFoundGlory]

They get a lot of hate, but they write simple pop rock that's fun to listen do. Yeah, haters, we get it, you got sick of hearing "The Anthem".

[UnderMyDreams]

I remember when the self titled record was my favorite CD. Still think it's freaking awesome. Second album was great too.

Third album sucked.

Fourth album was even worse.

[xtheaudition]

new studio update with billy

everyones starting families in gc.

chronicles of life and death had some decent songs off it. but most of it sucked.

[xapplexpiex]

Ew, no.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Maybe one of the most undeservedly shat on bands in roughly the last ten years. First two albums were great. Last two had some bright spots on each. Cardiology seems poised to go in the right direction.

Also, I really appreciate that this isn't an IMMEDIATE diss thread, haha. Sure, the OP may be xtoolaudition, but I'll take what I can get.

[Cuddleworthy]

wait this is a serious thread

[LPcatitoRJA]

are they still around? i haven't heard anything from them in a couple of years.

aren't they playing the Bamboozle Roadshow? I'm not sure

[xtheaudition]

aren't they playing the Bamboozle Roadshow? I'm not sure

I think they both are... let me check :P

Edit: yes, they're both playing, Simple Plan is on select dates I guess http://party.thebamboozle.com/page/roadshow-lineup

[Kris10mf]

they were the first band i really got into

i hated gmr but im optimistic for cardiology since they said it will have elements of their self titled. Don't get me started on their remix album

[xtheaudition]

I think they both are... let me check :P

Edit: yes, they're both playing, Simple Plan is on select dates I guess http://party.thebamboozle.com/page/roadshow-lineup
right on! and looking at that you got a wide variety of music! shaywze, ftsk, cartel, lmfao, hanson, cady groves, etc.

Good Morning Revival had only a few good songs, but it was definitely a step above "The Chronicles of Life and Death" that title alone was terrible. But they seem older now, and confident in the music they want to make, so I'm excited for the new record.

No. No. No. God no.

[fly_guy]

The memories

[showmethefever]

I'm pretty sure my first CD was The Young and The Restless, if that's even the title.

[xtheaudition]

this is my all time favorite song by them, i like the video a lot too.

fJArY97gQU4

[fly_guy]

Hold On is probably my favorite. I dont even know man, haha. You got me listening to Young and the Hopeless again, mission accomplished

[xtheaudition]

Hold On is probably my favorite. I dont even know man, haha. You got me listening to Young and the Hopeless again, mission accomplished

haha! hows it going for you? :-)

[p93]

I really do miss the times when radio rock was stuff like Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Blink 182, NFG, etc. I guess '01-03ish. The good old days.

that being said, I have not listened to this band in at least five years and don't really see myself doing so again except in spells of nostalgia.

[Stavie Steelo]

I like Little Things, Hold On, The River, and Dance Floor Anthem by them that's about it.

[Paulb-182]

I like everything but the self titled album. I'm actually really excited for Cardiology.

[Sarcasm]

They got a lot of undeserved hate. :shrug:

Good to know they're moving away from the Good Morning Revival sound.

[xtheaudition]

I like everything but the self titled album. I'm actually really excited for Cardiology.
yeah i am excited too & why didn't you like their self titled album? i enjoy that one a lot!

[Paulb-182]

yeah i am excited too & why didn't you like their self titled album? i enjoy that one a lot!

It's just a bit too cheesy for my liking on a lot of the songs. There are some great songs on it though. Seasons, East Coast Anthem, Festival Song, Walk By and I Heard You are all up there with some of their best.

[drawndead]

favorite song off it? mines probably "Seasons"

My friend keeps begging me to play "Seasons" for her. Begging

[EvilZeppelin]

Remember when Benji and Joel use to host "All Things Rock".

uXLF8WI-hJo

[Cricket.]

Only time I saw them in concert was when they opened for Justin Timberlake, that was a very weird combination

[Lycareth]

Honestly, they are the band that seriously got me into pop punk. I was like 13 I think and in the same day from walmart I bought the young and the hopeless and chevelle's first cd. Needless to say I had TYTH in my big ass cd player forever.

Call them what you want personality wise, but they were genre openers for a lot of the kids that were stuck on mtv and saw their videos.

[simplejack]

I liked some songs from them (the singles) but I can call them my favourite pop punk band. For me, Green Day, blink-182, Sum 41, New Found Glory, Yellowcard, Relient K, The Starting Line are WAY better bands.

And right now, if I should talk about the best band from Maryland, I'd say The Dangerous Summer

[firewater]

The River is one of the best songs from them, and it was of GMR so yeah some of that cd sucked, but not all of it ha

[klaz]

I had a sick obsession with GC in middle school. I remember my technology teacher pointed to my GC hoodie once and said "I bet you won't like them in a few years." I denied it to no end but.. of course he was right.

[xtheaudition]

It's just a bit too cheesy for my liking on a lot of the songs. There are some great songs on it though. Seasons, East Coast Anthem, Festival Song, Walk By and I Heard You are all up there with some of their best.
yeah those are the best, + the click! that's a jam!
My friend keeps begging me to play "Seasons" for her. Begging
woo her dood!

[xtheaudition]

Remember when Benji and Joel use to host "All Things Rock".

holy shit so old! i kinda remember that show, though i never really watched mtv.

[EvilZeppelin]

Main reason I slept through many classes.... it was on so freaking late, I want to say 2 or 3 am?

[xtheaudition]

ahh that makes sense, no wonder i never caught it.

[xtheaudition]

damn they've come along way from this..

y13YF3re7MQ

what movie or show is that from?? it looks really familiar.

[sleepyseanzzz]

I remember when the self titled record was my favorite CD. Still think it's freaking awesome. Second album was great too.

Third album sucked.

Fourth album was even worse.

agreed on all four counts. i think the first six songs of the self titled are just perfect

[thesollopsist]

Oh. How I used to live this band

[DogSizedBird]

wait this is a serious thread

unfortunately.

[UnderMyDreams]

damn they've come along way from this..

y13YF3re7MQ

what movie or show is that from?? it looks really familiar.

I disagree:( That's my favorite song of theirs...

[Paulb-182]

I can not stand The Click. It's just wrong in so many ways.

Just because I walk like Obi-Wan Kenobi,
You people talk, but you don't even know me
and thats alright 'cos I get down with GC, so I'll walk on and listen to the CD.

Makes me cringe so much.

[SomedayTheFire]

Haven't they scrapped Cardiology?

[WhoSaidThat?]

I like everything but the self titled album. I'm actually really excited for Cardiology.
Not that I don't respect your opinion, but the S/T is one nearly every living creature, from humans to ants to trees, consider to be their best.
They got a lot of undeserved hate. :shrug:

Good to know they're moving away from the Good Morning Revival sound.
Hell yeah they do. Even bands like (for examples) Metro Station and Forever the Sickest Kids on a bad day never got the undeserved shit GC received back in the day.

Actually, in one interview I think the Maddens said something about the album sounding mostly like their first two, but still having some elements of their fourth. Uh-oh.
Good Morning Revival had only a few good songs, but it was definitely a step above "The Chronicles of Life and Death" that title alone was terrible. But they seem older now, and confident in the music they want to make, so I'm excited for the new record.
GMR is by light years and country miles their worst album. TCOLAD at least had more than a couple of bright spots (We Believe, in particular).
I'm pretty sure my first CD was The Young and The Hopeless, if that's even the title.
There ya go.
It's just a bit too cheesy for my liking on a lot of the songs. There are some great songs on it though. Seasons, East Coast Anthem, Festival Song, Walk By and I Heard You are all up there with some of their best.
Again, not to be an ass, but how is their S/T too cheesy, but songs like All Black, Misery, and Keep Your Hands Off My Girl A-OK?
Haven't they scrapped Cardiology?
They have. They just re-finished the album with a new producer.

[Deborah Remus]

damn they've come along way from this..

y13YF3re7MQ

what movie or show is that from?? it looks really familiar.

It's from Undergrads. I haven't cared about this band since I was 13, but I still have a soft spot for that era of the band when the self-titled came out.

[cirerelleum]

are they still around? i haven't heard anything from them in a couple of years.

I could never pick just one. I think if the first three songs were one song though, which they kind of are because the intros flow into eachother, then that's my favorite.

[TheProsAndCons]

Haha damn haven't listend to GC in so long :O

[In2deep]

Used to like this band about 10 years ago. Now... Not so much, I barely even remember their songs.

[Ryan Gardner]

I grew up on their first and second record, so if they go back to that sound, I'll maybe like this release. They'll always have a place in my music due to nostalgia.

[xtheaudition]

I disagree:( That's my favorite song of theirs...
what?

[xtheaudition]

It's from Undergrads. I haven't cared about this band since I was 13, but I still have a soft spot for that era of the band when the self-titled came out.
for sure and i never saw that show?

[UnderMyDreams]

what?

I thought by "they've come a long way from this" you meant that they're a lot better now. And that's my favorite song of theirs haha

[xtheaudition]

I thought by "they've come a long way from this" you meant that they're a lot better now. And that's my favorite song of theirs haha
ahh touche! i meant like from playing small clubs to big venues and selling cd's and stuff. i dunno if they play that song live anymore, great track though.

[Deborah Remus]

for sure and i never saw that show?

It's just this Adult Swim type show that used to air back in 2001-2002.

[xtheaudition]

It's just this Adult Swim type show that used to air back in 2001-2002.
was it even any good?

[Deborah Remus]

was it even any good?

Probably not because I barely remember any of the episodes, haha. I just remember watching it in grade 6 because everyone else was.

[JustAGirl01]

miss this band

[xtheaudition]

How about Frank Zappa.... :-p
i just saw this! lol @ that

[xtheaudition]

young and the hopeless, self titled, life and death, good morning revival
the last 2 albums might tie for last hahaha

[Wippli]

really stoked about the new material

[catherinexhimel]

This band used to be amazing when I was in fifth grade... or maybe it's just because I was in fifth grade and didn't know what to listen to.

[xtheaudition]

does anyone have these b-sides from good morning revival?


"Face the Strange" – 2:59
"Jealousy" – 3:15
"You're Gone" – 3:22

[SpyKi]

Band gets a lot of hate, I like them. The Young and The Hopeless used to be my favourite CD when I was like 11. I never got into their first or third albums though and GMR wasn't great but I didn't hate it like a lot of other people did.

[WhoSaidThat?]

I have a bit of faith that Cardiology could turn out well (at the very least, a step up from their last two). I mean, at the point they've reached, they aren't really gonna gain anything from switching to new styles. There's no way it's gonna be as horrible as everyone else will claim (and it'll clearly catch some hate here due to the name "Good Charlotte" being attached to it). Besides, I always enjoyed Joel's voice.

yeah, i mean they did get to where they are by writing good songs (in the past)

[SanePsychotic]

When's the new album supposed to come out?

[xtheaudition]

When's the new album supposed to come out?
from wiki

In in interview with Billboard, the Madden brothers, say to expect the album Late-August or September, about 10 years after their first release.

[SanePsychotic]

Oh so I really won't have much time to worry about it because of school.

[SanePsychotic]

I'm not going to lie, I kind of liked that.

[Kris10mf]

hmmm not feeling it. I thought they were going back to their roots, this sounds more like good morning revival shit and the lyrics are terrible

[BensonHedges]

Listening to "Hold On" right now and damn, I still love this song.

[chelsealouanne]

new song live from bamboozle

808h4_b2ck8&feature=player_embedded

I don't really like it to best honest.
I had it stuck in my head for awhile afterwards though. Don't know if it's a good thing or not.
I kind of get the feel that the new album will have auto-tune in it to some degree.

anyways im not a fan of the song. I hope the album is better than this shit

[catherinexhimel]

Lame, I wish they'd go back to their sound pre-Good Morning Revival but that'll never happen.

[xHoodieWeather]

bad new song is bad.

[Kris10mf]

8KCQ7HJv3JM

[Paulb-182]

Oh dear. And I really liked Good Morning Revival, so it must be pretty bad judging on how much shit that album gets.

[showmethefever]

The album with all of those hits was one of the first albums I ever had.

[drawndead]

I've been listening to GC a lot and I'm definitely going to give it a shot

[SomedayTheFire]

Better than that other pile of shite.

[xHoodieWeather]

This one sounds WAY better. gives me a Young & Hopeless vibe. kinda see what they meant by blink-182 influenced.

[Kris10mf]

This one sounds WAY better. gives me a Young & Hopeless vibe. kinda see what they meant by blink-182 influenced.

yeah i agree. Its definitely wayyyyy better than LIHB. I just wish the production was more like the young and hopeless. This gives me more of all all time low vibe and that sucks.

[Ryan Gardner]

8KCQ7HJv3JM
Liking this - reminds me of their older stuff. Too bad their other new track sucks

[xHoodieWeather]

yeah i agree. Its definitely wayyyyy better than LIHB. I just wish the production was more like the young and hopeless. This gives me more of all all time low vibe and that sucks.

yeah, the only difference between this and y&h is that this is very glossy and well polished while y&h was raw.

[Kris10mf]

Liking this - reminds me of their older stuff. Too bad their other new track sucks

maybe it will be the exception. Kind of like I just wanna live was the only dancey track on TCOLAD. I like this better also because these lyrics are actually relatable unlike most of good morning revival and like its her birthday.

[Kris10mf]

yeah, the only difference between this and y&h is that this is very glossy and well polished while y&h was raw.

yeah exactly. They just went a little overboard with production but at least its a step in the right direction.

[crackedthesky]

I like these guys. I have a lot of respect for them. I first heard them way back when Little Things was new, and I love how they aren't afraid to expand and make music nobody really expects them to. I'll probably give this new stuff a listen, later.

[SomedayTheFire]

Jesus. A song is good if its is well written and well performed not if it has raw production. That has to be the worst excuse to dislike a song

[xHoodieWeather]

Jesus. A song is good if its is well written and well performed not if it has raw production. That has to be the worst excuse to dislike a song

i'm not saying i don't like it, i'm just saying it sounded better when it was more raw in the young & the hopeless.

also, i'm not a fan of the lyrics, they seem a tad cliche at parts.

just think about it, some bands sound better live than on record, that is usually because the record is too polished.

I don't get that mentality. I just don't, it's impossible for a song to be overproduced.

[xHoodieWeather]

I don't get that mentality. I just don't, it's impossible for a song to be overproduced.

too much is added into it, it doesn't sound natural. if you listen to like its her birthday live, you'll hear a guitar solo, in the recorded version they added so much synth and stuff like that it doesn't sound natural anymore and you can barely hear it.
that, my friend, is over producing a song.

[thesollopsist]

I actually really like this new song,

[A Wild Pikachu!]

Jesus, what a trainwreck of a song. At least when they made Chronicles they sounded like they were still trying. Between the new song and the last album, I think it's safe to say that they really don't give a shit anymore. Lazy, lazy writing.

[theargylepilot]

Terrible fucking band.

QFT

[Fryman]

Good Charlotte can be seen live tonight at 9PM here:

[OhSnapItsSummer]

Only liked " The Anthem". Nothing really special about the band.

All Time Low is from Maryland. They're way better.
All Time Low for Maryland FTW.

why do peopld on here hate gc so much? do not understand.

[drawndead]

excited for the chat tonight :-)

[drawndead]

why do peopld on here hate gc so much? do not understand.

because they want to seem cool even though they rocked a MADE hoodie in middle school but now they are too cool

[drudo182]

Never did that.

[chelsealouanne]

Really liking Like It's Her Birthday lately. Can't wait to hear what the rest of the album sounds like!

[vivatoto56]

Album's out there.

I'm gonna give it a good listen tonight.

I listened to 1979 real quick and I really liked it.

Lyrics were pretty terrible, but it sounded good enough.

[deFobbed14yrs]

"I just wanna live"

Just saw their video the other day, wtf?

Really liking Like It's Her Birthday lately. Can't wait to hear what the rest of the album sounds like!

it boggles my mind that anyone can genuinely enjoy that song. To each his own I suppose.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Cardiology is... decent. Certainly no Top 15 contender, but it seems to be a step up from TCOLAD. Thankfully, it also destroys GMR. Oddly enough, I could name at least five songs offhand that would've made a better single choice than Like It's Her Miscarraige, so it's safe the say they screwed the pooch on all cylinders with that one single. Haven't heard the b-sides yet, but I get a weird feeling they're gonna be better than what actually made the cut. The interlude and intro are out of place, imo.

I also can't wait to laugh at the fickles who are gonna write this off as some piece of shit album, when in actuality this is just a c-minus pop-rock album.

[circasuicide]

any band that says 'this is the anthem' in a song has lost me.

C minus seems pretty bad though...

[WhoSaidThat?]

C minus seems pretty bad though...
I always thought C- was average. :shrug:

Well, let me rephrase that. It's a decent-to-average pop-rock album.

[vivatoto56]

I always thought C- was average. :shrug:

Well, let me rephrase that. It's a decent-to-average pop-rock album.

That's fair. It's probably my fault because I tend to rate things higher. C would be average for me so anything beneath that I would consider a fail

[WhoSaidThat?]

That's fair. It's probably my fault because I tend to rate things higher. C would be average for me so anything beneath that I would consider a fail
My standards must be far lower than yours, hahahaha.

But seriously, Cardiology is completely average. All we do now is sit back and watch the rest of the AP faithful defecate on this album like it's the worst thing to happen to pop-punk in years.

[chelsealouanne]

it boggles my mind that anyone can genuinely enjoy that song. To each his own I suppose.

I quite disliked the song at first but just before the video was released I just started to listen to it a lot more.

[Fox83]

Just got word that it leaked. Looking forward to seeing what people have to say about it.

[Kris10mf]

just got done listening to it. As a former huge gc fan I'm definitely disappointed. That being said 'let the music play' and 'counting the days' are enjoyable and the best songs on the record. 'Standing ovation and 'alive' stand out as well.

[SpyKi]

I always thought C- was average. :shrug:

Well, let me rephrase that. It's a decent-to-average pop-rock album.
It is average, I haven't listened yet but that's about what I'm expecting.

[AussieBoy]

Am i the only one who likes Chronicles. I was into the darker aspect of it all. Cool songs like world is black, walk away, secret, predictable, mountain, we believe, SOS etc

[WhoSaidThat?]

It is average, I haven't listened yet but that's about what I'm expecting.
My expectations were (very) low, so I don't think you should necessarilly take my word for it.
Am i the only one who likes Chronicles. I was into the darker aspect of it all. Cool songs like predictable, mountain, we believe, SOs etc
I didn't like it overall, but it certainly had its moments, namely the last three you mentioned, and a few more.

[Kris10mf]

Am i the only one who likes Chronicles. I was into the darker aspect of it all. Cool songs like predictable, mountain, we believe, SOs etc

I liked chronicles a lot. Not their best but I definitely enjoyed it and will give several of the songs play time on my ipod from time to time. I love mountain and predictable a lot. Even songs that were a little different like The truth were still good. I don't think we could ever hear a song like that from them now without synth or added beats to it

[badnewzbearz]

just got through the first listen. definetly shits on GMR and is a much more simple album. simple in the fact that they've toned back the electronics (thoough it's still there in alot of songs) and focused on what made them successful in the first place. there are a few songs that sound like old school gc, but for the most part it's alot more "mature" sounding. i'd give it a C+ atm... you can tell they really tried to make something decent here.

People who love All Time Low will dismiss this as "terrible" but GC and All Time Low are no different in terms of pop rock.

[vivatoto56]

I gave it a good try actually expecting to find enjoyment in it.

I really disliked it. At about track 13 I had to stop.

[AussieBoy]

about to listen, and going in expecting to at least half enjoy it, hum along, and maybe tap the foot

we will see how it ends in an hour

Well that's so terribly ironic if they dismiss GC as "terrible", because GC is so so so much fucking better than ATL could ever dream of being.

This record rules, I can't see how anyone could think it's even close to being terrible. "Silver Screen Romance" and "1979" are some of the best pop-rock songs I've heard all year. This band will always be my #2 favorite band of all time, right behind Weezer... and I'm completely unashamed to admit that I enjoy ALL of each of those band's catalogs, regardless of what most people's opinions of them may be.

[vivatoto56]

I thought the lyrics were too dreadful to look past. Every time I was enjoying the music he said something trite and cheesy that made me gag.

[Paulb-182]

Will give this an honest chance. Don't like Like Her Birthday(?), but I like most of everything they've done in the past, so I have faith I can find something to enjoy here.

[drawndead]

Just bought their 2006? DVD on ebay for $1 to reminisce. It feels so good. Can't wait to hear Cardiology

[dumpweed41]

Came home from a shitty day at work to find this album had leaked. I don't think my mood's ever swung round that fast before.

It's a pretty typical Good Charlotte album really: some fantastic high points (1979, Silver Screen Romance), some fucking horrible low points (Cardiology) but mostly somewhere in between. Everything's catchy as fuck though, and I love that :D

Does anybody else think they came up with the name Cardiology before they wrote the song though? Cause even for them, that song is seriously the lowest of the low.

Haha I definitely agree with you. I personally love GC (always have), but to the average listener GC and All Time Low are similar in musical stylings. With that being said, most people on here will say this cd is "crap", "laughable", etc. but will ultimately praise the new All Time Low album (which is a travesty).

yeah they did. That title was around a long time ago before they had scrapped the first set of songs

[SanePsychotic]

Am i the only one who likes Chronicles. I was into the darker aspect of it all. Cool songs like world is black, walk away, secret, predictable, mountain, we believe, SOS etc

I don't like Chronicles as an album, but I like select songs on their own. I really love "Mountain" and "The Truth" though. For some reason I really like the line "You've found a million ways to let me down, so I'm not hurt when you're not around."

Dead on. Couldn't agree more.

About to give this a spin. Hope I like it.

No. Chronicles was up until Cardiology my fav GC album. If Cardiology is still my favourite in 2-3 years time will tell. But i got a feeling it is.
Cardiology is everything i hoped it would be.

It's a fun, happy mood album. It makes me smile listening to it.

My favourite tracks are Last Night, Alive and Harlow's Song. Also Let The Music Play, Silver Screen Romance, Standing Ovation, 1979 and There She Goes stands out!

[SanePsychotic]

We're like the same person.

Sweetness. :highfive:

[Genurko]

The Kerrang UK tour with Framing Hanley and Four Years Strong with GC should be a nice one, too bad not happening in the US.

[Entendu]

I heard their new song and it seems like a step above the dancy stuff they were releasing last time I checked them out.

[ZeoVGM]

Son of a bitch, I enjoy this. I found myself listening to it a few times in the car.

It's a shame there are so many moments of terrible lyrics on the album though. If they matured lyrically and toned down the whiny vocals a little, this would be a pretty respectable album. Some of the melodies are great. The chorus on "Like It's Her Birthday" is awesome but the lyrics in that song are just awful.

Thankfully, I'm the kind of person who can USUALLY look past poor lyrics for a good-sounding album. This is pushing it though, I have to admit.

I honestly went into this almost wanting to hate it, which is stupid and immature, and by the fourth song, I was singing along.

it did nothing for me, tales from GC it would be old school were lies, hope they enjoy the $$$. lifestyles of the rich and famous ay!

The Truth is a great song.

[drudo182]

LOL. Love this review of their new album from NME.

Whoa! A quick glance at the tracklisting for ‘Cardiology’ suggests Good Charlotte (http://www.nme.com/artists/good-charlotte) might have started covering The Smashing Pumpkins (http://www.nme.com/artists/the-smashing-pumpkins) (‘1979’) and The La’s (‘There She Goes’). Which is, if not downright creepy, then just a little bit beguiling. But no, both songs are stone-cold Madden originals. Booo! If you like your rock’n’roll played by four fat talentless fucks and Morrissey (http://www.nme.com/artists/morrissey)’s old drummer Dean Butterworth (seriously, wtf?!), then… oh just sod off, yeah? Disgustingly derivative and Pro Tooled to the max, ‘Cardiology’ is monstrously offensive – the latest shit-streak by music’s laziest sons. But seriously, what did you expect? Amazing indie covers?

[weebullybou]

Gc Suck

[SanePsychotic]

After listening to the new album a bit more I have to say that I like it. It's good for a casual listen, like when I'm doing homework and I need something a little upbeat to keep me going. That's about the only time I enjoy listening to it though.

[SanePsychotic]

The Truth is a great song.

Especially for when you're walking around at night on a fall/winter evening. When it's so cold that it almost stings but for some reason you're still out and about, listening to music.

[shadows]

no love in here for the best band from maryland??? ;-)
i cant wait for their new album, im excited to see where they go after good morning revival, it wasn't their best, but it wasn't bad, i just wanna hear some new good charlotte jams.

and of course the young and the hopeless is such a good record!
what you guys think?


revival and there new one are to teeny for me.

[iamthealex]

Just listnened to TYATH all the way through since Freshman year at latest. So good.

[WhoSaidThat?]

I still stand by this album being average. Here are the songs I enjoy.

Let The Music Play
Counting The Days
Silver Screen Romance
Last Night
Sex On the Radio
Harlow's Song (Can't Dream Without You)
1979
There She Goes
Right Where I Belong

I feel that if were those nine songs and the b-side Crash, the whole of the album would be drastically better. With those ten songs, they might have achieved the feel good record they (supposedly) wanted out of this album. No point in having it extended to thirteen songs (excluding the needless intro and interlude) when a few of them are a waste. Also, the single and the title track are the two big errors on the album.

[xx_Unknown_xx]

the only song i really ever listen to by this band anymore is emotionless.

[drawndead]

Counting the Days is vintage

[Smart Punk]

The young and the hopeless is still my favorite.

[prettypenguin]

how do you feel about their new cd?

[drawndead]

I think had had a vintage GC feel to it but with a new twist. Unfortunately I only get up to Like It's Her Birthday and after that I haven't listened more than twice.

[Paulb-182]

A New Beginning
The Anthem
Girls & Boys
The Click
Silver Screen Romance
Riot Girl
Like It's Her Birthday
Hold On
Emotionless
Keep Your Hands Off My Girl
Little Things
Introduction to Cardiology
Let the Music Play
The River
Dance Floor Anthem
I Just Wanna Live
The Chronicles Of Life & Death
The Young & The Hopeless
---------------
Movin' On
Last Night
Sex on the Radio
Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous

Current setlist. So excited for the UK tour now. Only track I'd prefer to see is My Bloody Valentine.

[drawndead]

I'm going March 8th in the city. Pretty excited.

[Paulb-182]

Seeing these guys tonight! Excited for some major nostalgia. A 'The Young And The Hopeless' heavy set, so I'm happy.

[elementary]

Why this is at the top of the Music forum irks and confuses me.

Haha, same mate. The 11yo in me is loving it.

[mikej182]

[kbomb001]

I still haven't heard the new CD, but, I like the 2 singles I've heard.

Loved 'Dammit' in the bridge. The room exploded when that happened!

My Bloody Valentine was nice to hear as well.

[AussieBoy]

Only 6 of Weezer, that's kinda lame. Glad you had fun though, I've seen some of your previous posts talking about it.

[caveBEAR]

Say what you want about Good Charlotte, they put on a flawless show, and if you were 12-15 around 2000, you'd probably dig the nostalgia factor.

[TZE]

shocked to see this thread on the first page. i live in singapore and just found out they were coming this friday. got the tix right away.. the young and the hopeless is such an awesome album for me. pointless post but i just can't wait.
