  1. An album that proves being rich and famous doesn't always blunt a band's creative appetite. [31 Mar 2007]
  2. 60
    13 tracks of Disney-channel-ready pop, buffed and Pro-Tooled almost beyond recognition--and it's not half bad. [Apr 2007, p.111]
  3. 60
    Gimmicky moments are plentiful, but it's the box-fresh pop songs like "Misery" and "The River" that benefit most from their renewed sense of purpose. [Apr 2007, p.100]
  4. Vile, goth-jock pop with all the wit and nuance of a urine-soaked sock.

    i havnt listened to the whole new album yet, but yes i have listened to there old stuff also. and just because they have decided for a new style of music, doesnt mean that they are "crap" or "sellouts" or "suck because they aren't 'punk' anymore" first of all, good charlotte are pop rock, NOT punk, 2ndly, dont be so narrowminded :@ fair enough people hate their new sounds, and i aint gonna rant on about how amazing the new album is-everyone has their own views, but thats just the most stupidest reason to hate them now ¬_¬ grow up, realise that bands change their music eventually, and if you wish to slap me in the face with a comment back-go ahead. I'm not aiming at anyone, just in general really. =] and yeah, i happen to like the new gc album alot. ^_^ Expand

    Unlike with My Chemical Romance, there's absolutely nothing here to set them apart. Even the choruses aren't punchy enough. Very dull.
