Good Charlotte "Youth Authority"

This review may be late, but was never released accordingly. While this band is no longer part of The Young and The Hopeless, which remains their commercial opus, they still write anthems for those who were former members or could use some assistance as they find themselves in that stage. While it remains the fan favorite, I prefer their experimental, albeit asymmetrical, follow-up, The Chronicles of Life and Death. 
Good Morning Revival remains a conundrum, and a mis-step, but that was due to the high expectations the previous album had set, even with its redemption single featuring M Shadows. Cardiology is the true revival and defibrillator of their career and heart, and would have more than sufficed for their final release.
"Life Changes" serve as proof that they still posses some Youth Authority with this vigorous intro, and while a "40 oz Dream" is relatable enough to anyone after a long work week, and repetitive, there is a more suitable solution in this album, and in general.
Suppositions of "selling out" often accompany fame, yet are not always endowed with accuracy; in others words "haters gonna hate," so as long as you remain true to yourself and "Keep Swingin," then that should not hinder your journey or development as an artist, because that is all subjective anyway. To me, the record seems like a proper sequel to their breakout album, with hooks intact; a healthy dose of sentimentality and honesty; a few peppy numbers to remind you that they can rawk, but they prefer to restrain themselves; there is even a sequel about "Moving On," for the grammatically correct.  While past records were detours, experiments, learning experiences and each with merit and reason, some more positive than others, it brought them to where it seems appropriate, although I would have preferred a few more energetic numbers, this feels right, and I am not the only one who feels that way; otherwise it would not have come to realization. If this ends up being their final record, I would not mind, though I believe they could do better.
