Good Charlotte- The Young and the Hopeless
By Trish
The title of Good Charlotte’s latest effort seems to fit their careers very well. Young and hopeless. Why anyone would want to listen to this cookie cutter “punk-pop” garbage amazes me. People often ask me why I don’t like Good Charlotte, and I’ve always been reluctant to say anything beyond “they suck” because I hadn’t heard any of their albums. Well, boys and girls, now that i’ve heard most of their stuff, I feel qualified to critique it.
“The Young and the Hopeless” opens up with “A New Beginning.” The title, however, is misleading. This song presents nothing new to the music community whatsoever. It sounds like it belongs in a Disney movie, for crying out loud. Maybe in that new “karate kid” movie they’re coming out with. It would fit perfectly. A terrible song for a terrible movie.
Then it transitions into what teenybopper magazines and TRL alike call “today’s rockin’ punk rawk hit”... that’s right kids, you guessed it. You’ve heard it on the radio, you’ve seen it on MTV, you’ve had it stuck in your head until you just can’t take it anymore and blow your brains out with your father’s pistol. its everyone’s favorite song... THE ANTHEM. A song so manufactured, so generic, that it’s labeled “edgy”. In this song, Joel wails about “not wanting to be another trend”... hmm.... well it’s too bad that Good Charlotte IS a trend. If GC was talented at all, they would be able to write about something other than “not wanting to be just like you”. This album does not deviate from the norm in any way whatsoever.
Next up is Good Charlotte’s other current radio “smash hit”, “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” The song begins with a drum intro that seems to have been torn right off of Iggy Pop’s classic, “Lust For Life.” I guess Good Charlotte couldn’t think of anything original and had to resort to “liberating” other people’s ideas. Nice job, guys.
Overall, this disc really isn’t all that bad. It is a little boring, though. All of the songs seem to blend together and there’s not really much motavation for the listener to want to hear it again. I give it three out of five stars. Trish has spoken.
The Legend Of Zelda - The Windwaker
By Qwerter
I admit, I am not only the webmaster of this Loserish website, but I am also a Nintendo fanboy. I know what you're thinking.............and I don't care. I have been looking forward to a new Zelda title ever since I bought a Gamecube. The Zelda francise has always been reliably incredible from title to title, and its newest one is no diffrent. My hand trembled as I took the golden disk from its prestigous holster (it was a pre-reserved copy, and hence golden). My eyes became as sacuers in shape as the screen glowed with the title screen. Once begining the game on the sunny tropical Outset Island, you are immersed in a world unlike any other. You will journey to the ends of the earth over the vast great sea to vanquish the evil that has risen agian. For those of you who have played the previous titles and think that Link's new look will detract from the game, think agian. The cell-shaded graphics only serve to enhance the
wonderful world you must travel through. Graphics-wise, this game is one of the most spectacular. The only thing any one could complain about is the fact that Link's "Hero Sword" looks more like a "Weenie Sword." But even skeptics will change thier mind when they see the glisening water drip off their character as he exits the water and the tassles of an enemy's spear swing in the wind as he picks up the fallen foe's weapon. The deatail put into this game is amazing. Just look at the smoke created by a simple bomb:
I often found myself saying things along the lines of "WOW, did you see that" or "I can't believe I can do that!" When you see the first boss, you are sure to gasp in wonder. Every boss fight is an enormus epic battle of the classic Zelda style. This game is top-notch. the graphics are superior, the gameplay is impeccable, the story is enthralling. If you own a Gamecube, then buy this game NOW. If you dont own a Gamecube, trade your current system in for one and sell all your crappy titles. This is the type game that video gamers live for.
