Good Charlotte has dropped its fourth studio album and Joss Stone isn't far behind with three. We're taking a look at them both to find out if they're worth your hard-earned lawn mowing money.

Good Charlotte - Good Morning Revival

Good Morning Revival? More like Really Grumpy Morning Revival. Good Charlotte is well known for its hook-filled pop-punk, and they still deliver the catchy goods on this album. Too bad the whole disc consists of one whinny track after another. We get it - growing up is hard - but the Madden twins are pushing 30. The teen angst routine is getting old. Their hairlines are "maturing," maybe it's time their music caught up.

Introducing Joss Stone is Joss' third album.

Joss Stone - Introducing Joss Stone

Joss Stone has just about made it out of her teen years and is busting out a new, mature sound that is hipper, more sultry, and even more confident than her previous efforts. The album features a rich sound that leans heavily on traditional soul, but still manages to be totally contemporary.

Joss Stone - Introducing Joss Stone Fun Facts

Joss named her third studio album "Introducing Joss Stone" because she says it reflects the "true" her.

The album is being released in two forms - the single CD, or in a combination fold-out pack that contains a 40 minute DVD.

The producer of Introducing Joss Stone, Raphael Saadiq, has produced music for D'Angelo, The Roots, Snoop Dogg and Kelis. He is also rumoured to be dating Joss Stone.
