THE REVIEW
The Good Charlotte return to the studio two years after the release of "The Young And The Hopeless", the album that brought the Maryland-based band to success with the single "Lifestyle Of Rich And Famous".
In the album, we find catchy tunes reminiscent of the punk rock wave that has influenced the music scene in the last decade.
The single that brought success to the album was the hit "I Just Wanna Live," also used in the advertising campaigns of the telephone company TIM.
The singles released with accompanying videos were "Predictable," a track with dark atmospheres, "I Just Wanna Live," "The Chronicles Of Life And Death," which also gives its name to the album, and finally "We Believe," a track that, together with the video, takes on a socially engaged tone.
With a sound that oscillates between dark atmospheres and reaching a pop dimension, "The Chronicles Of Life And Death" has settled into the Italian charts.
Worth noting are the two versions of the album, the life and the death, which differ in the bonus track and the artwork.
A good album that marks the establishment of the band even in Italy but perhaps delves too much into the commercial area that is very familiar to the Italian music scene.

Some consider them punk, and those who do clearly don’t understand a damn thing about music.
GOOD CHARLOTTE FUCK YOU!!!!!!!! What a pain these artists thrown together just to make a quick buck...
By ilmio
The fifteen tracks we find on the new CD of the heavily made-up band have NOTHING TO DO with rock... with punk...!
A point in favor, however, for the lyrics. The songs aren’t great, in fact, some are awful... but the lyrics are not bad at all.
By aka THE TRUE ghetto
Good Charlotte produce an album where they almost completely abandon childlike choruses and lyrics from a juvenile band to venture into something darker.
It is pointless to deny that this Madden brothers and co.'s album might leave previous fans stunned, in a negative sense, by venturing down a new path.
