Being a largely unknown entity this side of the pond, it took their breakthrough single ‘Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous’ to destroy the mainstream top 40 and let all others know that the next big thing was in town, being latched onto by millions in the process. Their brand of punk-rock is imitated by many, yet rarely with such results - Good Charlotte truly ... ...their undoubted success story, ‘The Young And The Hopeless’ as the brilliant record that it is, encapsulating what modern punk-rock is all about.
~~~~~~~~~~
The main fact here is that the band don’t pretend to be something they aren’t, they know who they are and they know their fans like that. Their music is honest and to the point and it’s easy to relate to the subject matter and the topic in question, something that other bands (blink 182) cannot ...

Advantages: Original punk - rock songs - written by the greatest band ever - but I'm biased becasue im a huge fan Disadvantages: none
...called "Girls and Boys", "The Young and the Hopeless" and "The Anthem". I personally love this album and I think that songs like "Hold On" should be written more often as they help prevent suicide and make fans feel like they can hold on to something in their lives.
Track 1: A New Beginning
The start of this song reminds me of the movie "The Nightmare before Christmas" and then it launches into heavy guitars - without the lyrics. I think this ... ...10/10
Track 12: The Young and the Hopeless
Starts with a single guitar and vocals kick in, drums and other guitars join in and it's definitely a rockier track on the album. Again most teenagers could relate to this song as it's about fighting back and making your own way. "I'm trouble -some, I'm fallen, I'm angry at my Father, It's me against this world and I don't care." Most Good Charlotte fans can relate to this because of Hold On - Check out ...

Advantages: Those polished tunes, catchy rhythms and melodic beats have done it again. Disadvantages: Intellectually un-challenging and clichéd. Or is that a good thing?
...song on the record, ‘The Young and the Hopeless’. Presiding over production on the thunderous latter was very heavy-handed studio veteran Eric Valentine. Free-running, quick paced guitars add to the hyped mood of a song you can sway, run or jump to. Although un-wavering from a formulaic pop rock by numbers, what sets Good Charlotte apart from the competition is the strength of instantly meaningful, deep and catchy songs like ‘Emotionless’. It’s a ... ...father, sung to a tune we’ve all heard before, but excellent nevertheless:
“It’s been a long, hard road without you by my side
Why weren’t you there all the nights that we cried?
You broke my mothers heart, you broke your children for life
It’s not OK, but we’re all right
I remember the day’s you were a hero in my eyes
But those are just a long, lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now I’m writing just to let ...

Sublime second album! Review ofYoung And The Hopeless, The [ECD] - Good Charlotteby

Advantages: Good songs = Good Album Disadvantages: None that I can think of...
...NIce really.
12. The young and the hopeless
Woo hoo we have a song title to match the album. Does this song match the quality of the album? Well let me see, YES IT DOES!! This one's a really good one, really fast, really great and obviously REALLY enjoyable!!!
"If I make it thought today, will tomorrow be the same, am I just running in pain? If I stumble and I fall, should I get up and carry on, will it all just be the same?"
The title young ... ...over the troubles the young have, and how that sometimes you can just feel helpless and its all about wondering if things will get better, will life improve? Good song!
13. Emotionless
This is one of my less faves again, still an ok song. This one's really slow, kinda a break up song, the dude's getting intouch with his old chic, just to see if she's ok, cos he misses her and stuff.
It's defietely worh a listen, but not one of their best!
"It's ...

Advantages: Its a good album Disadvantages: Its not amazing, just good
...appear on the album "the Young and the Hopeless" which I'm now going to review.
The album starts with an interesting 2 minute instrumental - certainly a different way to start an album - before launching straight into the Anthem. This is one of my favourite tracks on the album, and probably the most catchy. It's about being different and not fitting in, a recurring theme on the album.
This is followed by Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, which, ... ...on the album.
The Young and the Hopeless, is the fourth, most ambtious and best song on the album. The subject is exactly what the title suggests, and it also contains a dig at the critics who have put Good Charlotte down "When I sing about my past, its not a gimmick not an act". Its the least poppy of the four singles, although I think its better because its more sophisticated.
It's followed by Emotionaless, I think the best of the quiet songs ...

Young And The Hopeless, The [ECD] - Good Charlotte
Additional notes
Album Notes: This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Good Charlotte: Joel, Benji, Paul, Billy. Recorded at Barefoot Studios, Los Angeles, California. For its second outing THE YOUNG AND THE HOPELESS, Good Charlotte gives any notion of a sophomore jinx a combat boot to the side of the head thanks to an abundance of chanting choruses and choppy guitar riffs. Like standard-bearers Blink-182, this Maryland quartet frolics in a land of teen angst peppered with snarky optimism that comes across best within the margins of the rebellious "Anthem," rambunctious "Riot Girl" (no doubt a cousin of the Dead Milkmen's "Punk Rock Girl"), and Green Day-flavored title cut. Balancing out rambunctious fare like the Iggy Pop-inspired "Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous" and the chuggin "Movin' On" is such tasty fare as the soul-baring "Emotionless" and Social Distortion-like "The Day I Die." With THE YOUNG AND THE HOPELESS, Good Charlotte takes the next step towards pop-punk world domination.
