cool, December 29, 2002
By A Customer
alright, i heard of these guys a few years back, but never thought much about it. this year i met a girl who had transefered form another school, and started talking to her, and she told me her favorite band was good charlotte. i remembered hearing about them, and so i decided to check them out. i downloaded 'little things' first.it was awesome, so i downloaded some other songs; they were awesome too.i went out and bought both their cds not much longer after that, and loved them. my best friend came over and listened to them, and now she is obsessed with them. i'll give you a review of each song real quick-
1.little things-5/5, awesome song. cool video.
2.waldorfworldwide-5/5 i didnt like this song that much at first, but now its one of my favs.
3.motivation proclamation-5/5 another awesome song, though slower. another good video.
4.east coast anthem-4/5
5.festical song-5/5 another cool single, another cool video.
6.complicated-4.5/5
7.seasons-4.5/5 another slower song, cool.8.i dont wanna stop-4/5
9.i heard you-4.5/5 didnt like this one that much at first, but now i love it.
10.the click-4.5/5 same as song 9. this was the theme song for the show the undergrads.
11.walk by- alright, but one of the two worst on the cd. 3.5/5
12.let me go-the other worst song on this cd. i always forget about this one. 3.5/5
13.screamer-4.5/5 another one that grew on me. take out the light, start screamin! love that part.
14.change- 4/5 prolly the slowest song,but still good.
this has a hidden track at the end. its pretty good. its a song thanking benji and joel's mother. hence the title 'thank you mom'
overall, i really good cd for any punk-pop collection. or punk-rock. however you wanna classify these guys! i hate classifications. i dont really care about those, as long as i like the songs, who cares what kind of music it is?
anyway, i recommend this cd to people who like sum 41, simple plan, etc. you wont be sorry.

Crazy little kids!, August 15, 2002
Ok, I am here as an old fan of Good Charlotte's to see how you newbies rate them. And as Im am reading the reviews I see all of you reviewing to other peoples reviews, yelling about how GC is not punk and then justifying yourself by naming bands like Bad Religion etc. Calm down! First and foremost, Good Charlotte has never once called themselves punks, they're out there onstage for their fans they dont care what you wanna call them. Second, Punk has become not what you think and say but how much money you invest in "punk clothes" and Hot Topic. It is more so a trend now than a kind of music. Dont label a band as punk or not punk until you relize what the punk culture is and what they believe. 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!

Deep, Meaningful.....and Amazing...., January 6, 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.
