When they first got famous, Good Charlotte were easy to make fun of but still kind of likable: working-class guys dressing like Rancid and making catchy mall punk with little pretense. Then came 2004's overblown, overreaching The Chronicles of Life and Death, and now comes Good Morning Revival, another album that gets further away from the band's core appeal: Its songs are dark and sour, with shimmery electronics and some tortured emo choruses. Jumpier rhythms help, and GC still know how to write a hook. But "The River" is a cruddy, L.A.-dissing aggro anthem, and "Misery," with its litany of heartaches, is one of several cuts that could use some Prozac. Sounds like growing up sucks even more than they originally thought it would.
