Good Charlotte Grow Up?

The dour title 'The Chronicles of Life and Death' is the first indication that Good Charlotte have moved beyond juvenile humour â€" like celebrity bashing ("Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous"), heavy-handed self-deprecation ("The Young and the Hopeless") and the shallow, material differences between the sexes ("Girls & Boys") â€" that marked their last album.

The other indication that this definitely isn't the same pop-punk band as before hits you like a blind-sided slap almost immediately upon hearing a sample of their third album, which is due October 5: Absent from the six-song preview are the bouncy, pogo-inducing melodies, sing-songy vocals and accelerated tempos. Dynamic tunes with textures, depth, and even keyboards (courtesy of guitarist Billy Martin) take their place.
