Parents need to know that this band gets to the heart of the matter with graphic (but PG-rated) imagery. Some fans might find it irritating that there are two versions of this CD, with the only variation being the bonus track.
Positive messages:Some of the imagery might be unsettling to less mature (younger) teens.
This CD was good. There was no sex-related songs, but it was kinda violent, one of the songs is titled murder, but is not to violent just iffy (a 7 yeasr old should not be listening to some of the songs). Good Charlotte is a band that is kinda scary looking but they sound better than they look. So for people who like rock this CD is good for them.I think it is apropriate for kids 13 and up.
This album is sorta boring (compared to there first 2). They're not singing about real things in this one (unlike first 2). There are a few good songs on the album, but it cant mach up 2 the first two. There is a lot of talk about death. and one song uses the word murder, another includes a few violent images (as do others on the album). Some words include a**, d*mn, and myb 1 h*ll. myb a few other minor words. Not to mention they'res like a 5 minute pause on the last song (that talks about bleedin after). My advise is to avoid this album and just listen 2 the first 2
Can't we play good bands on the radio anymore? The answer is yes and that is why we have bands such as Weezer, Franz Ferdinand, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but the problem is that bands like Good Charlotte show us that the media and MTV are still evil. Oh how this band pretends to be a punk and well they ain't no Clash and if you classify them as pop they ain't no Blur. They are mindless slaves to wage. Absolutely horrid, absolutely annoying, absolute trash. We all really should get a life and start listening to music where music still has passion and that would be indie artists (notice that I would call an indie musician an artist and I would never fathom calling anyone in Good Charlotte an artist) or music of the past.
i think people should realy get to know a band befre judging them on there music
good charlotte are great guys who belive in god and would not write any songs that were out there i let my 8 and 4 year old listen to them and these guys are for real unlike alot of bands out there they care about there fans and what people think of then and some of their songs people put down like "bloody valantine" is a song about a eger allen poe (sp) book a tell tale heart they are not going out telling poeple to kill someone and stuff and also the song on there cds "hold on and sos are a big help to kids i work with kids who were thinking of killing themselfs and listened to these songs and found out that even rich and famous people have it ruff and that if these guys can make it though things they can too i wish there were more bands like good charlotte out there who care about people not just the money >>>>
This album interested me because my favorite Good Charlotte song is on here and because it's supposed to be more mature, which I like. It's a fantastic album; I love most of the songs. The only one I really hate is the opening bit.
And, quite unusually for a powerpop band, some of the songs almost made me cry....
