It’s just a shame that, in this continuation of sound, Youth Authority retains many of the problems that plagued Cardiology. But unlike the experiment in chart-baiting / ego-stroking masturbation that is Fall Out Boy’s latest material, Youth Authority is a lot more in line with Good Charlotte’s typical fare. As such, it’s difficult to judge their sixth album Youth Authority away from this, similar to how Fall Out Boy’s recent material has often been viewed in conjunction with their current status. As well as both brothers currently serving as judges on The Voice Australia, the two have also found themselves in the public eye thanks to their high-profile marriages, Joel to socialite Nicole Richie, and Benji to actress Cameron Diaz. In the interim between their last album, 2010’s so-so Cardiology and now, the band have been living the same celebrity lifestyle that they initially chastised, especially the band’s dual figureheads Joel and Benji Madden. The irony of Good Charlotte’s first major hit being Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous has been discussed before, but never has it been more poignant than now. ![]()
