Good Morning Revival is the fourth studio album by Good Charlotte and the follow-up to the 2004 release The Chronicles of Life and Death. It is the first album to feature Dean Butterworth on drums, who joined the band in March 2007 after former drummer Chris Wilson departed in 2005. Billy Martin has mentioned in an interview that Benji Madden came up with the name for the album.[1] The sound of Good Morning Revival has more of an alternative rock style than the previous Good Charlotte albums. This style can be heard in the albums third single, "Dance Floor Anthem (I Don't Want to Be in Love)", which is the most successful song on the album by debuting at #2 on the Australian charts and reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] It is the final album by Good Charlotte to be released by Daylight Records; they currently signed a deal with Capitol.
