Releasedate: 02-11-2010; Label: Capitol

Good Charlotte is an American rock band from Waldorf, Maryland that formed on April 1, 1996. They took their name from the children’s book called “Good Charlotte: The Girls of Good Day Orphanage,” written by Carol Beach York. By now they have built up a huge fan base and have five albums released so far with “Cardiology” being their latest.

The new album is awesomely catchy and full of songs that will get stuck in your head. This album includes quite some electro influences on several songs. The lyrics are awesome and easy to memorize. The songs all spread a good mood and get you ready to party. It is a lot of fun listening to their new album “Cardiology”. “Like It’s Her Birthday” has an awesome guitar solo in the bridge. “Cardiology” is definitely an album you can’t get rid of too easy but instead get hooked to it. “Last Night” is definitely a perfect club song. All lyrics are very deep and no as happy and fun spreading as the music make it seem. The second part of the album is a lot deeper and slower but still made to get stuck in your head. “1979” includes acoustic guitar and has a nostalgic touch not only in its lyrics but also in its sound. This album definitely entered the list of my favorites. Good Charlotte made it again and created a wonderful catchy album for fans and everybody else that loves good music. I can’t get enough of “Cardiology” and I am sure you won’t either once you listened to it. Good Charlotte will come on tour with this album early next year. Make sure to check it out.
