Good Morning Revival by Good Charlotte

Good Morning Revival (stylized as Good Morning Revival.) is the fourth studio album by American rock band Good Charlotte. The band began working on new material in early 2005, however, following this, drummer Chris Wilson departed and was replaced by Dean Butterworth. The group took a break to focus on their personal lives before reconvening in early 2006, and eventually reconnecting with producer Don Gilmore. At the recommendation of Gilmore, who was dismissive of the new material that the band showed him, Benji and Joel Madden left Los Angeles, California and settled in Vancouver, Canada. After writing a new batch of songs here, the brothers felt they were heading in the right direction. Meeting up every two weeks, the members showed off the songs they were working on; Gilmore was again dismissive, challenging them to write material that was different. Another batch of songs were made before recording started in July 2006 and concluding in September. Featuring a heavy usage of keyboards, which were played by guitarist Billy Martin, almost of the material was credited to the Madden brothers and Gilmore. Overall comparisons were made to the Killers and A Flock of Seagulls, with individual aspects of songs resembling works by the Rapture, t.A.T.u. and Underworld, among others. Early 2007 saw the debut of music videos, and single releases, for "Keep Your Hands off My Girl" and "The River" throughout January and February. Good Morning Revival was released on March 27 through Epic and Daylight Records. "Dance Floor Anthem" was released as a single in June, and was followed by a support slot for Justin Timberlake. The band then embarked on an Australian tour and released "Misery" as a single in December. Another single, "Where Would We Be Now", was released in May 2008 and preceded the band's co-headlining US tour with Boys Like Girls that summer. Good Morning Revival received a generally mixed reception from critics, some of which praised the band's hooks and choruses. It sold 66,000 copies in its first week, debuting at number seven on the Billboard 200 in the process. As of July 2010, sales stand at 314,000 copies sold. Outside of the US, the album charted highly: reaching the top 10 in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Austria and Germany, as well as the top 30 in the UK, Finland, Sweden, Italy and France. Within these territories, the album was certified platinum in Australia, and gold in Canada and New Zealand, and silver in the UK. "The River" and "Dance Floor Anthem" were successful on the US radio charts, and both reached the top 40 on the Hot 100.
