OMGG... new news for cardiology!
A lot has changed for Joel and Benji Madden since they started playing music back in 1996, but with their fifth album due this summer, the twins have been trying to get back to the good old days. "We started our band in a garage when we were 15," Benji said. "Good Charlotte's the first band we've ever been in, and back then, critics didn't matter. There were no rules. There was no one we had to impress. Now we're just kind of like — we want to get back to that place where it's just like, 'I like that because I like it. I just love music because it's fun.'
The new album, which will feature love ballads and deep lyrics, is appropriately titled Cardiology, which, Joel explained, "Is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the heart. So when you think about it — is there any real medicine when it comes to dealing with any feelings of the heart, whether it's love or hate or anger? Is there really any medicine for that? There really is nothing you can do for the conditions of the heart."

And while they might be "digging deep on the lyrics," don't expect Good Charlotte to get too soft. While Cardiology reflects their present lives, the brothers say it sounds a lot like breakthrough album The Young and the Hopeless, with straightforward music, big hooks and a lot of harmonies.
They have written about 40 songs for the album, all of which could appear on the final version, but they already have their favorites picked out: "Sex on the Radio," a rock song that tries to capture the essence of a woman's voice on the radio, and "Love Ain't Easy," which Benji says reminds him of the title track from the movie "That Thing You Do!"
Cardiology is expected to drop this summer, but in the meantime, Benji has been posting a series of acoustic covers of his favorite songs on the Good Charlotte site.

This sounds great!
Hope they don't wait to long to release the album.
The summer time is the best time to release a new album!
I believe some of the reasons for GMR poor sales were because it was released in March.

No it's not, fall/winter is. Mostly because it's the holiday season, people have money, and sales will be up. Record labels usually hold off releases of their heavy hitters till the fall so they reach big numbers.
GMR was just poor sales because the bastards didn't really do much for ANY of it. Plus the US doesn't really care about GC anymore.

I agree. If they don't promote, this new album is gonna be a huge fail, no matter when they release it.
And tour? With another Madden/Richie kid on the way DO NOT expect a tour this year.
And bands have habits of pushing album releases back, thats why its so vague. They might take it to the label, for them to say 'thats s***', and they have to start again.
Releasing an album is a lot harder than a lot of people seem to thing

I agree whit you - they won't go on the tour .. and even IF then it will be small, not worldwide. Eventually they'll end up doing some promotion on shows like "Idol" or "X-Factor etc. or some awards (MTV VMA perphas?) in US & UK only.
And you pointed well - even if they'll record something then it doesn't mean that they'll releases it as an album.Label could not aprrove it. Eh... So all we have to do.. or should do righ now is wait patiently for results.
