Good Charlotte - 'Keep Your Hands Off My Girl'

Post categories:

Fraser McAlpine | 10:11 UK time, Sunday, 11 March 2007

Good CharlotteThis reminds me of when I fancied one of those BN biscuits I used to like, you know 鈥 the ones with the smiley chocolate faces? When I did eventually track down a packet you can imagine my disappointment when I found that the darn things actually tasted nowhere near as good as I remembered... in fact they were pretty awful.

Not repulsive, but a definite disappointment after all that anticipation. And that鈥檚 a bit like the Charlotte鈥檚 new single. Eagerly awaited, but with the waiting comes expectation, and then, sadly, disappointment.

Obviously that wasn鈥檛 their intention, and there鈥檚 no denying that this track has a lot of new stuff going on, the issue is whether it鈥檚 your kind of new stuff. You can tell they wanted to send a message, something like 鈥淗ey we鈥檙e back we have a new cool drummer and a new cool sound!鈥 But it鈥檚 just not translated as well as they may had hoped.

It's possibly because of the Justin Timberlake style 鈥榓ha's, or the dreary monotone vocals (when we know the band can do great meldies), or maybe the emo 鈥榞angsta鈥 speeches which just aren鈥檛 as fun and bouncy as they should be.

Not to worry too much mind, sneaky snippets of the album do hint we won鈥檛 be disappointed for long, I鈥檒l just go put my t-shirt somewhere safe for now鈥

    This song is amazing! I realise I am abit late in commenting on this post, but I dint like it when it first came about. It's only after like, 6/7 months that I've started to realise how good it is. I was never really a big GC fan, but I really like this album.
