Not Just Another One Hit Wonder Band, March 2, 2003
This review is from: Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (Audio CD)
This cd is very awesome. Take some punk flavor(Riot Girl), added with a lil hip hop(The Anthem), catchy lyrics(Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous), Melodic Voice(Emotionless), and some all around meaningful lyrics(Hold On, The Young And The Hopeless) and you've got a great album by a great band. Their first cd was awesome but there is no doubt that this one makes you want to play it until your cd player goes up in flames. Go buy this album, you won't be disappointed.

I'm not gonna get into whether they're punk or pop, February 25, 2003
This review is from: Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (Audio CD)
Ok, actually I am, but just for a little while - they are pop-punk. I have come to that conclusion, and they're better at it than anyone else who is pop-punk. Now, alot of people don't like this cd just coz it's getting a lot of airplay, but I think you're deranged if you turn your nose up at a band simply coz they get a bit of the success and recognition they deserve. Lifestyles is a good song, and when I first heard it, I couldn't get enough of it, but then MTV started playing it every ten seconds, and I got a bit sick of it. I've gotta stress though, that I didn't get sick of it easily - I must have heard it at least 200 times now (no exaggeration). It's an upbeat song, with just a hint of attitude. To me personally it doesn't have any deep meaning, it's just a good song to jump about to, whereas some of the songs on The Young And The Hopeless really touch me on a personal level. One thing you gotta know - this is not Good Charlotte's best song. If you really love Lifestyles, you'll really REALLY love their second album. Get it. You might like their first album too, but it's quite different to Lifestyles. I think the first album's better myself, but you should listen to it and make up your own mind.
Thanks for reading this. No-one ever listens to my opinions. Bye. Caroline xxx

I LOVE THIS!, August 16, 2002
This review is from: Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (Audio CD)
THIS SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR! Whether or not you liked Good Charlotte's old stuff, I think everyone will like this. It's very catchy and a lot harder than some of their older stuff. Two thubs up! =)
