| | Good Charlotte: The Young & The Hopeless - PopMatters Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Good Charlotte plunge headfirst into poodlehead, spandex rock clichés, only with a lame us-against-them sentiment that comes off sounding like an installment of Chicken Soup For the Punk's Soul. |
 | | Sadly, though, the rest of the album doesn't keep the momentum going, and by the time you get to the whiny title track ("It's me against this world and I don't care") and the straight-out-of-the-Poison-catalog "Movin' On", you're sick of the act. |
 | | Maybe if the band dropped all the pretense of their supposed punk aesthetic, from the spiky hair to the piercings, and actually wrote and produced albums that contain good, honest, DIY substance, and not this corporate rock sodapop garbage, then perhaps they could find something a bit more pertinent to complain about. |
