We're probably going to make Joel Madden pretty angry by saying this, but Good Charlotte's new album is gonna sound a whole lot like Blink-182.
"I hate when [people ask about Good Charlotte's new album], and we say it sounds like something, and then there's a news piece about what it sounds like, and it sounds completely different," he told MTV News backstage during Sunday's "Total Finale Live." "But we're trying to fill the void. ... Like, I think there's a need for a new Blink-182 album, and they're not working on an album. I'm a huge Blink-182 fan, but I think in general there's a void there for music like that, and in this moment, we're making a record that kind of answers to that void. We'll see, though."
So there you go.
Good Charlotte's follow-up to last year's
Good Morning Revival will be the most
Blink-y thing since
Mark,
Tom and
Travis called it quits (or, excuse us, "
went on indefinite hiatus") in 2005. And if it's going to be a
Blink record, well,
Madden — who became a new father in January — is making it sound like it will be closest to the band's more serious, self-titled farewell album.
"I think we've matured a little bit, and it definitely changes things. You're more mindful of what you're saying, and the songs somehow become more important, because someone that you really love is going to be listening to them," he said. "I don't know what it's going to mean for our music, but it seems like it's changed a little bit."
Of course, there's a fairly good chance all this will change. So while we can't be 100 percent sure how the new GC album will sound, Madden is more than happy to let fans know how it won't sound.
"There's nothing dance-y on the record, though, at all, which is different from our last one," he said.
