*Angry Mob

I got Good Charlotte when it came out here two weeks ago and Kaiser Chiefs when it was released last month. They're both pretty bad.

From today's New York Times album reviews regarding the new GC album: "What they have made instead is "Good Morning Revival," a mystifyingly inept CD that includes some of the worst lyrics you will--or, with any luck--won't--hear all year.... One promising target market for this CD: countries where they don't speak English."

[ozzysaxman]

i'm making my best attempt to ignore vocals listening to GC... they did get some cool guitar textures in there, but wow, those lyrics are possibly even too undeveloped and immature and cliche for their target (12 year old) fan base.

[TSLROCKS]

good charlotte truly is one of the worst albums ive ever heard. i think the river is catchy but the album is terrible no1 should be buying this cd its truly a waste of money

[ozzysaxman]

no f that, i think its just on the single, and i'mma put some money that the Ax7 guitarist was responsible. side note: hate em or love em, that guy can rip.

the NYT's review of GC (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/26/arts/music/26choi.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) was priceless:

GOOD CHARLOTTE

“Good Morning Revival”

(Epic/Daylight)

Joel and Benji Madden are the twins who lead the pop-punk band Good Charlotte, and they’re the kind of people who show up on magazine covers and start clothing lines and date Hilary Duff. (She spent a few years with Joel, who is now being photographed alongside Nicole Richie.) But “The Chronicles of Life and Death,” from 2004, was a dud, overblown and, not coincidentally, underbought. Now it’s time for the Madden twins to make amends.

What they have made instead is “Good Morning Revival,” a mystifyingly inept CD that includes some of the worst lyrics you will — or, with any luck, won’t — hear all year. “Keep Your Hands Off My Girl” is a foolhardy foray into rap (“The hipsters mean-muggin’ on me all night long”); “Something Else” is a clumsy ode to odd coupledom (“Her daddy’s a lawyer, and mine’s not around/She has good manners, I’m rough all around”); “All Black,” which strains in vain for anthemhood (“Take a look at my life, all black/Take a look at my clothes, all black”), may single-handedly convince the nation’s goths to embrace pastels.

This band can still crank out a grand chorus, and there’s one in “The River,” about decadent Los Angeles. But to find the album’s most memorable moment, you’ll have to explore “Where Would We Be?,” a sub-Coldplay ballad that contains this admission: “I must confess that I’m a sinking ship,/and I’m anchored by the weight of my heart, ’cause it’s filled with these feelings.” One promising target market for this CD: countries where they don’t speak English.

haha and the "I must confess" lyrics conjured up images of Britney Spears singing "Hit Me Baby [One More Time]"

[XenoAbe]

Please check out the DLD album, it's really good.
