Pro Reviews: Good Morning Revival
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews When ironies are as delicious as punkpop quartet Good Charlotte turning into the very thing they parodied on their careermaking hit, "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous," it's hard to resist the temptation to repeat the story, no matter how often it's been said. After all, it is true. Good Charlotte succumbed to every temptation fame has to offer and turned into L.A. scenester fratrats, which, in turn, turned them into gossipblog fodder as lead singer Joel Madden dated teen queens and superskinny celebs whose main claim to fame was being famous. It's a textbook rock roll cliché, and now that the apex of their popularity is beginning to recede into the past, they've fallen back on another textbook rock roll cliché for their fourth album, 2007's Good Morning Revival: desperate trendchasing. True, the group was beginning to stretch out on their first postfame album, 2004's The Chronicles of Life and Death, but where that found the group getting a little more ambitious, Good Morning Revival released a full five years after their breakthrough, The Young and the Hopeless demonstrates that they now have real concerns about appearing fashionable, so they've adopted the two main rock trends that surfaced since 2002: dancepunk and '80s fetishism. They've morphed from blink182 into the Killers, a stylistic makeover that makes Madden's swipes at the "plastic people" of Hollywood on the opening "Misery" ring a little hollow since his sudden pursuit of glam style seems like the epitome of L.A. emptiness. To be sure, the icy synth textures and guitar atmospherics borrowed from the Edge are the foundation of this album, but Good Charlotte aren't content to just restrict themselves to tricks they learned from the Killers; they sample from a wide spectrum of sounds and bands from the last five years. There's the pounding electrodisco of Rapturelite "Dance Floor Anthem," which feels like it should be ironic, but isn't. There's the Blur/Gorillazaping "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl" its chanting verse borrowed from "We Got a Line on You," the hook from "Song 2," its beat from the Gorillaz and there's the Coldplayesque shimmer of "Where Would We Be Now," complete with the finishing touch of piano arpeggio. This kind of calculating changeup would have worked better if the band had the hooks or the good sense to embrace their crass pandering so it's good trashy fun; if they signaled that they knew how ridiculous this shift in direction was, it'd be easier to enjoy. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: ^^
Cons: ^^
There are two things Good Charlotte's Joel Madden would like you to know. One, that he lives in LA. Two, that he's not long split up from a long-term love. Of course, we already know these things - firstly because he's always spotted around various Hollywood haunts, and secondly he's now shacked up with Nicole 'Simple Life' Richie after splitting with girlfriend of two-and-a-half years, Disney queen Hilary Duff.
confusing/etc Los Angeles can be to outsiders. 'Dance Floor Anthem', while sounding like The Killers if they'd overdosed on 90s nu-metal instead of Duran Duran and Bruce Springsteen, bangs on about 'not wanting to be in love', and this in turn is followed by single 'Keep Your Hands Off My Girl'.
...
OK, let's be a little more honest. Madden really wants you to know these things. For while, in a world where Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco and My Chemical Romance have better tattoos and more finely-tuned make up skills, his band aren't concerned with improving upon the really-rather-catchy 'I Just Wanna Live' and upping the emo-pop stakes a little higher.
Second number 'The River' is a track about their adopted home, and rather predictably, reflects on how depressing/
They aren't even preaching their messages in a tolerable way, either. The name of the game appears to be something akin to writing dreadful songs, and attempting to mask this with over-use of numerous electronic gizmos. Imagine taking the lyrical themes of the breakthrough track 'Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous' (a track which surely even the band must now see the irony of), removing any sense of melody, and replacing the whole lot with a three-year-old pushing random buttons on an old Casio. You might just be half way there. In short, 'Good Morning Revival' is a dire album.
