How about another self-titled album? No witty nickname for this one; The cover is rather multicolored.
Album: Good Charlotte
Artist: Good Charlotte
Anyone who listens to Good Charlotte's more recent releases might question their inclusion on a site for the punk, rock and alternative. However, they were quite punk when they first started out, and this happens to have been their first full-length album.
This album is full of songs with teenage angst. The lyrics are very "punk" oriented, with themes revolving around doing your own thing and not needing/wanting to be accepted by society. It's a very nice blend of the faster and slower sides of the genre. Some of the songs are rather catchy, but not in that "poppy" way.
Some standout tracks include;
• Complicated
• Little Things
• I Heard You
• East Coast Anthem
Before Good Charlotte sang about love and parties, they were singing about hatred and just growing up. Naturally, they had to outgrow that stage in their lives as they got older and matured. However, this album still stands as a remarkable punk record that details some of the pains of an average teenager.
When I was thirteen, "The Anthem" rocked my world like no other. I loved Good Charlotte so much...now of course they have a very different sound, & I have different music tastes. But every now & then I need to hear "Little Things" :)
