I personally am not a huge fan of Good Charlotte's, but this CD helped me through some pretty rough times because of it's happy, upbeat songs and the members true dedication to their fans. So if you want a happy-go-lucky cd I truely suggest this cd to you. Dont listen to the silly wish-wash oppinions of people telling you not to buy it because it's not punk, buy it to support a band that is truly in love with its fans.

Shanks loads for reading this!


Unbelievable!!!   February 17, 2003

I first heard of these guys from my friend, and when I saw the cover of their new CD I was like 'Whoa. Kele, what the heck are you listening to???' But after listening to 'The Young and the Hopeless', I realized I wanted to hear more. I bought this CD, and let me tell you: Do not judge Good Charlotte by Benji's piercings and tattoos!!! These guys are real. They write their own music, and they started from scratch! This CD is absolutely awesome. 'Little Things' is so much different than any other song I've heard. It's original. I think my favorite songs are 'East Coast Anthem' and 'Festival Song'. I love how GC takes punk rock and puts some originality into it. This CD is perfect for kids who feel like they don't really fit in, because neither did Benji and Joel. It's also a great CD to put in and just listen to. You can play it from beginning to end because there's no bad song. Not a single one. If you're going to buy this CD, buy the one with the bonus tracks, because you'll also get 'The Click' and 'Thank You Mom'. 'The Click' is one of my all time favorite songs because it just says, 'if you don't want to hang out with me, fine. I'll find someone better'. Kids, if you want to listen to punk rock that won't get you in trouble, look no further. It's right here.


Great Cd   March 9, 2003

1. Little Things - very rap-ish but still catchy, the verses are better than the chorus - 5/5
2. Waldorfworldwide - this takes time to grow on you, very fast vocals and a catchy chorus - 4/5
3. Motivation Proclamation - sheer brilliance, nice melody in the verses and a rocking chorus, overplayed but i still love it - 5/5
4. East Coast Anthem - amazingly catchy, another favorite - 5/5
5. Festival Song - very good punk song, great instruments and vocals - 5/5
6. Complicated - sort of rap-like, still ok but not a favorite - 3/5
7. Seasons - a ballad, nothing special, the lyrics may seem corny - 3/5
8. I Don't Wanna Stop - great song, i love the vocals - 5/5
9. I Heard You - ok, a basic punk song, the verses end funny with that line "i get the point" it just sounds strange, still its ok - 3/5
10. Click - very catchy, great lyrics - 5/5
11. Walk By - average, punky - 3/5
12. Let Me Go - same as walk by but still decent - 3/5
13. Screamer - a ballad but its moving, and always fun to hear - 4/5
14. Change - another poppy ballad but the vocals are done well - 5/5
15. Thank You Mom - a hidden track about a minute after Change, it is a great acoustic piece and shows that they are nice guys under the "im so punky" attitude. 5/5


Good Charlotte ROCKS - BUY THIS CD!   June 18, 2002

Good Charlotte is an awesome punk band, and their self-titled CD kicks [rear]. All of the songs on the CD are great, especially "Little Things" "Motivation Proclamation" "Change" and "Waldorf Worldwide". They're songs have good variety from emotional to fun. Its the type of CD that I love to play super loud while driving in my car. The guitar riffs are awesome and the song lyrics are deep and meaningful. Any fan of pop-punk bands like Blink-182, Green Day and Sum 41 will LOVE this CD!! I can't wait for their new one!


Deep, Meaningful.....and Amazing....   January 7, 2003

First of all, I just started liking this type of music. I never listened to a punk/rock group no more than 2 months ago. At First I heard Good Charlotte's new cd (The Young and the Hopeless), and it really didn't click with me. But then my brother kept playing it and I fell in love with "Lifestyles of the rich and the famous". So i went out and bought that cd. And after that I heard they had a self-titled cd. I listened to my brothers copy, and the next day, I was out buying a copy for my own collection. The songs are extraordinarily written. Especially "Little Things", "Seasons", and "Thank You Mom". Good Charlotte really knows how to write powerful and touching lyrics. They could write an amazing sad and meaningful song, and then go and do a fun, upbeat happy song. Good Charlotte is excellent, and even though I just started listen to punk/rock, they are by far the best group I've heard. Go out and buy this cd, don't burn it, that's cheap. Give them a chance, you will love it.
