Album Notes
Additional personnel: M. Shadows, Synyster Gates.
Following the chart-topping pop punk of their first three albums, GOOD MORNING REVIVAL is to Good Charlotte what WARNING was to their obvious stylistic forebears, Green Day: an attempt to expand the stylistic confines of their music without losing sight of what their fans want to hear. GOOD MORNING REVIVAL isn't trying to capture critical favor, nor is it a self-important concept album or stylistic experiment. Instead, twin brothers Joel and Benji Madden incorporate new and different musical influences into their now familiar sound, and the brothers' lyrics feature a newfound maturity and personal viewpoint that was not always so obvious on their earlier albums. Indeed, the power ballad "Where Would We Be," a paean to Joel's break-up with his pop princess ex, Hilary Duff, is the most autobiographical song so far in the band's oeuvre. Elsewhere, the moody, pessimistic "The River" and the defiantly optimistic closer "March On" neatly define the album's emotional poles.
Industry Reviews
They still have a knack for a mammoth chorus....Love is a major theme...and it's woven throughout the album like an insistent string, the thread holding it all together.
[W]ith a high premium put on infectious choruses and razor-sharp melodic hooks. -- Grade: B-
3 stars out of 5 -- [I]t's Madden's search for love in the L.A. wasteland that gives REVIVAL a certain charm.
