GOOD Charlotte? Really? I could have sworn they were called "Abominal Charlotte"... What's even more embarrassing is that people actually consider trash like this "Punk", when it ain't. There's a reason that people with good tastes in music hate filth like Good Charlotte. And to say they're emo too is also an understatement, they're NOT emo either. What are they??? POP!!!!!! These guys are pure pop. I mean, whan was the last time The Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion and/or Anti-Flag released music that sounds just like this? Their music suck complete balls, as does their lyrics too. I mean, how does it get any stupider than this (from "Predictable"): I knew it all along You're so predictable I knew something would go wrong So you don't have to call Or say anything at all You're so predictable [sarcasm]OMG THAT'S AMAZING!!!!! NOT EVEN STEVE HARRIS OF THE LEGENDARY IRON MAIDEN COULD HAVE WROTE THAT!!!![/spoiler] To be honest with you, I have never liked this crap, even when it was popular. If you want real punk, listen to Anti-Flag, The Dead Kennedys, or even The Misfits. As well as real OTHER music in general would be Iron Maiden (the greatest band ever IMO), Led Zeppelin, Coheed and Cambria, Judas Priest, etc. . . Look, really don't waste your money on this MTV garbage. There's enough stuff out there that rocks, if you keep your eyes open you may find it. . so good it makes me laugh and think hard sometimes too. i just love this album. good charlotte just keeps getting better. Bad Charlotte! Absolutely horrible Charlotte! But anyway, this is an absolutely atrocious release with the exception of "I Wanna Live" or whatever it's called. Cool! More emo for the hit stations to pump into the ears of mindless musicoids who obey whatsoever the airwaves tell them! Actually, that was a bit harsh on this band's fans. I heard this album about two years ago and that's the only song that stood out to me. Don't buy this! It's pop trash and there are much more sophisticated bands you could look for. (I. E. Lostprophets, still slightly emo but much better lyrically and instrumentally). GC SUCKS! This band sucks, period. Hahahahaha. Honestly, I have never heard such horrible displays of music. Wait I have, that was Paris Hilton, K-fed, and Simple Plan. Wow. Hard to believe that the music scene has become this awful. I wonder what kind of idiots run the music industry these days. Whatever happened to the good ole days of BLack Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Jimi Hindricks, Metallica, Pantera, Alice in Chains, etc. All of these good bands/artists have basically been replaced with whiny, wimpy, bubble-gum pop/rock bands/artists like GC, Simple Plan, Jessy McCartney, Paris Hilton, etc. I can't understand why wimps with no talent whatsoever are given recording contracts. Anyways, back to this piece of crap band. This album just flat-out sucks. All the tracks are terrible. The lead singer sounds sexually frustrated which is absolutely annoying to hear. The guitar playing is a joke. These guitarists clearly don't know how to create a good riff. All they use is power chords and distortion. The production is terrible too. Btw, if you wanna know how whiny the lead singer can get, just listen to the first single off the album. It has him doing a spoken part which sounds more like a crying four-year-old than anything. It is ridiculous but not surprising when I hear most high school students saying how good this band is or that they rock hard. People, you don't know anything about what good music is or what rocks hard. For something that rocks hard, try Pantera, Metallica, Killswitch Engage for that. I will be training to become an SBI agent in two years and know that I will have to deal with many juveniles in my line of work which makes me hate this band even more b/c that's what most of them listen too and rap(don't get me started on how much I despise this). I don't have a lot of respect for adolescents these days come to think of it. The fact that many of them are such spoiled brats and complain that their lives are horrible b/c their parents are too strict really pisses me off. In essence that's what this band talks about in their lyrics, especially on this album. I have had all I can take of bands like this and their fans who are ungreatful to be alive. This album deserves 0 stars, btw. P. S. Also, if I have offended anyone by this posting, deal with it!. Teens like this music Too weird for me though. My teen daughters like this group. .
