Their multiple piercings, shaved heads, and abundant tattoos have them labeled a punk band, but on their fourth album, Good Charlotte--led by twin brothers Joel (lead vocals) and Benji (lead guitar) Madden--fall much more under the umbrella of 1970s arena rock and mainstream ballads. There is the occasional foray into the pop-punk mode of previous records, including the distorted-vocal rap "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl" and "Broken Hearts Parade," which sounds like Green Day with horns. It's easy to see the maturation in the Maddens' songwriting on such tracks as "The River," a surveillance of the inner workings of Los Angeles, the grass-is-greener pop song "Something Else," and "Where Would We Be," a break-up ballad about Joel Madden's split with pop princess Hilary Duff. With a piano lead and strident chorus, Madden admits, "Now I must confess that I'm a sinking ship/And I'm anchored by the weight of my heart." Browbeaten in theory, like sister songs "Misery," "Victim of Love," and "Break Her Heart," Good Morning Revival offers hints of optimism that grow with the record and reach the summit with the closing pop song, "March On." The harmonic chorus jubilantly declares, "Like soldiers we can make it through the night/We'll see the sun/March on." Whether punkers or mainstream rockers, it's apparent that Good Charlotte will continue the march. --Scott Holter

1 out of 5 stars Totally self-absorbed.......2007-07-18

I was never truly a big fan of Good Charlotte, I bought this CD for my girl (who is a big fan) and after hearing it a few times I needed to report to all. This CD is terrible, lyrically and musically it's flat, nonsensical and self-absorbed. Obviously this band has become self-aware of their celebrity and is now singing about Louis Vuitton and clubs???? lame... just not on target with what they originally preached... Some might say this is growth, i call it lazy and irrelevant. I wouldn't even call it a sell-out, i'd call it a great way to do product placement thru music. Sad

3 out of 5 stars okay, but not great...........2007-06-23

i've been a fan of good charlotte since early 2002 and i loved the young and the hopeless as well as their self titled record and the chronicles of life and death. while some may consider many of the songs on those albums corny, some actually had meaning, and were incredibly catchy. they were a typical three chord pop punk band. however, with this album the band offers nothing that was mentioned above. while this record is good to blast a few songs or play the whole record through once in a great while, most of the songs fall flat. "all black" is up there with "riot girl" as being two of good charlotte's worst songs. "dance floor anthem" is boring and flat, and i couldn't even make it through the entire song without skipping. the stand out tracks on this album are: misery, the river, break apart her heart, beautiful place, march on, and broken heart parade. the rest are either horrible or aren't catchy or meaningful enough to make any listener actully care. for a band that has been making music together for over a decade, you would think that they would take a little bit more pride in the kind of music that they create. for the most part, i don't think we will ever hear a decent good charlotte record again, if they make it that far.

2 out of 5 stars Could be better.......2007-06-16

I should have just bought the songs i wanted. Most of the songs aren't that great. I know this buy was a waste. I suggest you just buy the songs your interested in.

1 out of 5 stars Ridiculous .......2007-06-02

If I could give this no stars, I would. I loved the first album, I saw the video for Little Things on mtv2 and went out the next day and bought the CD. They had emotional lyrics and it was real. Second album was fun, slightly less personal. I loved Chronicles, I have both- the Life and Death versions. Chronicles had the best lyrics of all, I loved every track. So,I bought GMR the day it came out and it's the worst album I own. It ruined listening to the other albums for me. Joel doesn't even really sing - he sounds like he's trying to sing but it comes out like he's talking and has a cold. The lyrics are are awful, no emotion or personal feelings. They are all about the same things.
If you still feel like you want to buy this album, you should read the lyrics for all the songs and see for yourself.
But my advice - check out other bands who actually care about their fans.
I will never buy another GC album and I threw away my old ones.

4 out of 5 stars My favorite from these guys........2007-05-20

This is my favorite from Good Charlotte.I wasn't a real big fan of their first two albums cause they sounded like any other pop-punk band.But I was hooked after I heard Chronicles.(If you want to know I bought the death version cause I liked it's bonus song way better than lifes.)Also on that note I like to say who gives a [...] if they made a song about how rich they were.I mean why did you buy it if you didn't like it.My favorite tracks areThe River,Misery,Something Else,and All black.

A companion to the fabulous PBS series, the 21-song, 77-minute The Best of "Broadway: The American Musical" provides about as good a single-disc compilation as anyone could hope for. (There's also a five-CD version.) What sets it apart from so many other "best of Broadway" collections is its breadth--because it had access to a variety of record-label vaults it doesn't have to try to disguise gaps by using revivals or solo recordings. Here you get all the authentic stuff, including: Paul Robeson singing "Ol' Man River" from the first modern American musical, Show Boat; Ethel Merman singing "You're the Top"; the title song from Oklahoma!; Julie Andrews singing "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady; West Side Story's "America"; Betty Buckley singing "Memory" from Cats; Hairspray's "Good Morning Baltimore"; and "Defying Gravity" from Wicked, the newest show discussed in the PBS series. And it's hard to argue with the songwriters represented: Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Frank Loesser, Lerner and Loewe, Leonard Bernstein, Bock and Harnick, Kander and Ebb, Stephen Sondheim, and Andrew Lloyd Webber, among others. Obviously, no single-disc compilation could ever please everyone (did we really need two ALW songs?), but as a sampler intended for people who watched the series and want to hear more of the Great White Way, The Best of "Broadway: The American Musical" can't be topped. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Some interesting choices, indeed.......2006-03-02

This is a pretty good compilation, but I have to wonder at some of the choices that went into it.
"Good Morning Baltimore" is almost the least impressive song from Hairspray. "You Can't Stop the Beat" was a much more anthemic song from that show.
I agree that it's too bad Les Mis didn't make it in. I would have traded that for anything Sondheim, although that's a personal preference :) .
Still, the opportunity to hear the original performers and orchestras perform these works, all in one place, is a great deal.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2005-11-01

This one plays in the car, on the ipod and in the house. When the kids were little they would ask if we could take them to "The Street". That is what they called Broadway (little did they know at that time how famous that street is). They still love it and we can not get enough of it. This CD covers the best and makes you want to go and see a live performance. You can not beat that.

4 out of 5 stars Great selections, but bad transfers.......2005-07-27

This is a great taste of broadway. If you enjoyed the B'Way series at all, then you will probably enjoy this CD. My problem with it is that some of the songs sound like they were not remastered at all- the transfer to CD is terrible. The orchestrations in "You're the top" by Ethel Merman are muffled, and the song sounds like it was taken straight from an old record and slapped onto the CD without fixing it up. It doesn't sound very clear, which is a bit upsetting and annoying. Maybe this is just because that particular recording is older than some of the songs chosen to be on this CD. The more modern songs sound crisp and new and beautiful. "Swanee" is also very low quality as if it were just taken off of a record and put on the CD without any restoration. I just feel that these songs deserved better treatment and that we as customers deserve better treatment. Decca could have restored these songs and made them sound really good, but they decided just to slap them on the CD without touching them up.

I am surprised that nothing was chosen to be on this recording from Les Miserables since it had been on Broadway for 16 years and its tour is running until 2006. There were selections from Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Wicked, so I am not sure why nothing was chosen from Les Miserables.

Other than these few nit pickings, I think that this is a great introduction to musicals. It gives a little taste across the spectrum. Try getting the cast recordings of the songs that you really like on this collection. It's worth buying if you're a huge broadway fan.

5 out of 5 stars Yes this is Some of the Best of Broadway!.......2005-04-08

This CD from Decca Broadway is a wonderful selection of some of

the "Greatest Hits" of the Broadway stage. Decca and Sony have

done an excellent job of remastering the various recordings, some

of which still show some of their age, but come across quite

well. Are there a lot of songs that I would have put on this

disc? Yes, but the ones on here are good choices. I may have to

get a copy of the Five disc set and the DVD's just to see if any

more of my favorites made it on the list. What this disc seems to

try to do is show the evolution of the Broadway song from it's

early days to the present. It succeeds quite well I think.

If you enjoy Broadway theater this CD is a must!

5 out of 5 stars The music of Broadway comes alive.......2004-10-07

I loved listening to this CD. The music from Broadway's best loved musicals are on this album. I recogized most of these songs, even though I've only seen a few of them on the local stage. I have so many favorites on this CD. It is hard to pick one. I'm a big fan of Barbara Streisand. I loved her performance of People from Funny Girl. Memory is the hit song from the musical Cats. Betty Buckley's performance of this song is so emotional and sincere.

I loved the song Annie. It is a wonderfully optimistic song performed by the original Annie Andrea McArdle. Another highlight for me is the song One performed by the cast of a Chorus Line. Luck Be A Lady Tonight is another of my favorite broadway songs on this CD from Guys and Dolls. The music of the night is a beautiful song by Michael Crawford from Phantom of the Opera. Richard Kiley has such a strong and powerful voice. He sounds so inspirational singing The Impossible Dream from Man from La Mancha. My dream is to see some musicals on Broadway someday and listen to these songs performed live.

I'm surprised that there isn't any music from Miss Saigon or Jesus Christ Superstar included here. I think they are classic musicals with great songs Maybe they will appear on a future compilation from PBS.

It also includes the ultra-rare duet "Come Softly To Me" by Oliver and Lesly Gore! Completely remastered from the best sources available, this CD is a "must have" for music lovers and collectors alike.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars "Why You Been Gone So Long" I picked up the remastered CD!.......2007-07-22

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various music supplies and recordings from the 60's and 70's.

To fully appreciate the everlasting mark Oliver's "Good Morning Starshine" (Although he is not the composer) has left in the listeners ears the song is crafted with such precision that if the rest of the CD were blank this is a must own.

"Good Morning Starshine" rightly opens the Greatest Hits package. A timeless song that had wide scale appeal from the fan of Top 40 Radio to the listener of Album Rock, the 3:39 have no imperfections only brilliance.

Oliver has more in his arsenal than being a one hit wonder. "Jean" would have been a quality song for any performer with a certain vocal quality but Oliver's delivery of the lyrics brings it to the next level. The first two tunes show the wide range of his vocal strengths.

If the song "Come Softly To Me" sounds familiar it was a hit for the "Fleetwoods." Lesley Gore and Oliver have a brilliant duet found here.

"Early Mornin' Rain" originally penned by standout Gordon Lightfoot, is given a great treatment by Oliver. He captures the folk inflection needed to make the lyrics believable but enhances the rendition with strings in the background.

"Walkin' Down The Line" has Oliver cover Dylan. It isn't only that he attempted the superlative composition but delivers with an emphatic vocal.

Oliver's career wasn't only interpreting the work of others. He wrote songs as well and you can experience those on the Greatest Hits.

With remastered sound and a chance to enjoy "Good Morning Starshine" without clicks and pops why don't we all purchase this before the early morning rain falls.


Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton
Author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent"

3 out of 5 stars Oliver - 'Good Morning Starshine:The Best Of Oliver' (Taragon) 3 1/2 stars.......2007-01-23

I barely remember much about this 'vocal pop' artist. Born as William Oliver Swafford, 1945-2000. He passed on from cancer at the age of 54. This is a twelve track collection of his better material. Looks like he had three albums put out. What I do recall is his 1970 hit "Good Morning,Starshine". Other tunes on this CD worth mentioning are "Sunday Morning", "I Can Remember", his Gordon Lightfoot song "Early Morning Rain" and Dylan's cover of "Walkin' Down The Line". A nice easy listening pick.

5 out of 5 stars Mormon Tabernacle Choir never showed up.......2006-12-21

I saw Oliver once in a small venue and forget that serious image of a guy named Oliver singing Jean. His real name was Bill Swofford and Bill was a really funny guy. Everyone in the audience really enjoyed his performance and there was just something about his delivery. And he had a very good voice. I remember a local radio DJ making an on air comment about how much he enjoyed seeing Oliver in concert as well.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of Oliver's career.......2006-05-11

William Oliver Swofford had a short but infectious hit-making career, which has had an impact on society even recently, as Good Morning Starshine continues to be used in various marketing ads.

His three top 40 hits, Good Morning Starshine, Jean and Sunday Mornin' are here, along with a spattering of other singles (including some that he recorded for United Artists), and some rareties (including a song he recorded with Lesley Gore under the artist name Billy and Sue).

The sound quality is top notch, as should be expected with any Taragon label release, and Sunday Mornin' (released on cd for the first time, i believe) is presented here in a brand new first time stereo mix. I think that Taragon could've thrown on a few more tracks and included some of Oliver's B-sides, but to get his 3 hits in one place, in superb sound (the other two top 40 hits have never sounded better), makes the cd worth getting anyhow. You can't miss with this one.

5 out of 5 stars much underrated.......2005-11-20

great collection of his short career, but the original sole three albums deserve to be reissued- that would be the real tribute to Oliver.

By now the story is almost a cliché: hardworking Midwestern rocker can't break into the mainstream despite a truckload of critical raves, impassioned live shows, and ties to kindred soul and superstar Bruce Springsteen, who works similar hardscrabble territory. But Grushecky, now a full-time teacher in his home town of Pittsburgh, still considers himself fortunate. "Daddy always told me, money don't mean everything / Consider yourself a lucky man, you got a guitar and you still can sing," he elaborates on the title track. It's one of 13 boldly honest slices of life on this terrific hour-long disc.

Disregard the rather deceptive cover photo of the relaxed singer, gazing out on a tranquil lake with an acoustic guitar by his side. One listen to the blistering opening "Code of Silence"--a co-write with Springsteen, who trades verses with Grushecky and tears into a typically slashing guitar lead--and you'll realize this is no introspective, acoustic folkie strummer. That shouldn't imply he's not reflective, though. Rugged ballads such as "Father and Son" and "The Other Shoe" view life from an honest middle-age perspective that is unflinching and never sappy. Springsteen adds his guitar or vocals to three other tracks, but this is all Grushecky's show, as his flinty voice and rocking songs mix poetry with passion in a volatile explosion of emotional intensity that can't be summoned up by less journeyman artists. He's abandoned the brass-ring grind of the music business and is content to release mature, edgy, quality work--that is what makes A Good Life such an unqualified success. --Hal Horowitz

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars I can't believe this guy's not famous.......2007-03-31

Classic rock is still big -- even my young nephews are listening to Bob Seger and Queen and Led Zepplin. But the problem with being a classic rock fan is that you're going to be listening to the same music for the next 20 years. Let's face it, there aren't many new artists breaking into classic rock radio playlists. That's a shame because there is great music out there, you just have to find it.

So check out A Good Life. I think there's a big audience for this album, they just doesn't know it exists. It's one of the best rock and roll records I've heard in a long time. Bruce Springsteen plays on a couple of tracks, and you can hear his influence all over the album -- although it has been a long time since Springsteen has played blues-based, blue-collar rock like this.

5 out of 5 stars From the heart and soul.......2007-01-29

This is music that makes you glad to be alive. Pure clear crystal clean.
Sometimes slashing, sometimes soothing, gives hope, gives solace, makes you dance, makes you cry.
Beautiful!


5 out of 5 stars Joe Grushecky Continues To Amaze Us.......2006-12-02

Joe Grushecky's newest CD, A GOOD LIFE, is as good as anything he recorded in the late 70s-late 80s, as well as its predecessor, TRUE COMPANION. Bruce Springsteen and his crew were heavily involved in helping to make this one, but Grushecky's own authenticity still comes shining through, even, especially, on the Springsteen co-write "Code Of Silence", which here, sounds even more desperate for answers than when Springsteen recorded it. In fact, this version is so bitingly realistic that it can exhaust you to the point where you might just oppose shield laws for journalists on the grounds that the truth hurts. The other songs are also great chronicles of life in general, and even though Grushecky was raised working class and works as a schoolteacher, this CD could be just as relevant to the bank executive living in posh Cape Elizabeth, ME, or Lake Oswego, OR, as to the ironworker in Pittsburgh. In other words, these songs are so universal in their relevance that even people who have it made can relate to them, because money can't buy everything. This CD isn't for the teenagers; it's for the adults who've been through the wringer and lived to tell about it.

5 out of 5 stars An awesome CD from an awesome performer .......2006-10-19

This is one of Joe's very best. The lyrics are insightful and Joe's voice just gets better with time. And for those that have not seen Joe perform live, he is an awesome guitarist and it really comes out on this CD. Check out "Safe at Home". It also doesn't hurt that the Springsteen crew produced and mixed this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Grushecky's "A Good Life" is a great listen!!!.......2006-10-18

Veteran rocker Joe Grushecky is back with a new CD, entitled A Good Life. In an age where there's possible instant fame with TV shows and slick videos, Grushecky did it the old fashioned way: grinding it out in clubs and theatres over the years. Starting 25 years ago with his band, The Iron City Houserockers, Grushecky's always been part working class hero & part philosopher. It's a combination that has held up over time and this new CD is full of tunes that will make you think as well as crank up the stereo. Gary Borress, NYC

5 out of 5 stars I wish my momma, would have named me Furry Lewis.......2006-01-26

An amazing album, thats pretty much all i can say about it. Furry Lewis does wonders with his rhaspy slide guitar, and true bluesy voice and lyrics. His songs of lost love and rambling are almost as interesting as the story on the inside of the case about his losing a leg while jumping a train. He is in every way the closest thing to the old delta blues musicians that i have heard. A more modern day version of the roots of blues, with as much soul as Robert Johnson and Son House.

5 out of 5 stars Raw & steely acoustic blues.......2004-03-31

Furry was born in Mississippi in 1900 but moved to Memphis early on. These tracks were (very well) recorded in 1962 & 1967 by George Mitchell. They feature Furry on voice & acoustic slide guitar. Despite being alone he manages to make one hell of a sound. The most apparent feature of this sound is the unity of the voice & guitar - the guitar doesn't accompany the voice but rumble under & weave around it - creating gorgeous orchestral textures - a lot of open strings & undamped slide work. The voice is majestic - strong & heavy with experience - from a time before words like beauty & refined existed. You experience a simple slice of Furry's life - nothing special or contrived - but immensely rich & honest & uncompromising. It's the sort of music you feel you could listen to forever.

      4 out of 5 stars Not very good, but woks.......2007-01-23

      This is a decent Zimmer compilation from his early USA projects but I don't see why Milan released this CD with songs previously released tracks on various CD's. If they really wanted to release something special, they should have added to the tracklisting some previously unreleased tracks, like they did on The British Years, especially from Rain Man and The Lion King which are really wonderful soundtracks. However, this is a perfect compilation for early Zimmer fans. Overall, think twice before buying this CD. You risk to fell sorry later for the money.

      5 out of 5 stars A Great Selection Of Some Of Hans Zimmer's Early Cues.......2006-02-11

      As a huge Hans Zimmer fan I search far and wide for hard to find scores of his. This album is the second of 2 Hans Zimmer compilation albums released. I purchased volume one, which was "Hans Zimmer: The British Years" because that album has some hard to find and unreleased cues of his. However, I already own every single score that is featured on this album so I have no need to purchase it. I can say though that these selections are very good for the casual Hans Zimmer fan, but for die hard fans it won't satisfy. Especially since Beyond Rangoon, Backdraft, and Broken Arrow are very excellent scores and warrant a purchase of those entire albums.
