On "Good Morning Revival," the Maryland-bred punk/pop megastars keep their nose for hooks, but trick out the sonics that bear them along. They're kinks, but not cracks, in the wall of sound. Deep synths, searching licks, and a liberated drum kit all point to a band getting pensive in middle age.
From the opening sounds of GOOD CHARLOTTE's fourth album Good Morning Revival - which launches with an artful, innovative sound collage that slides into the irresistible "Misery" - it's evident that the world-famous band who've sold over nine million albums has revolutionized its sound for 2007. And by the time the optimistic parting shot "March On" rolls around, it's evident that this is the vibrant, adventurous and unexpected rock album that has redefined the group.
