The band began working on new material in early 2005, however, drummer Chris Wilson soon left the band and was replaced by Dean Butterworth. The group took a break to focus on their personal lives before reconvening in early 2006, and eventually reconnecting with producer Don Gilmore. He was dismissive of the new material that the band showed him, and on his recommendation Benji and Joel Madden left Los Angeles, California and settled in Vancouver, Canada. After writing a number of new songs there, the brothers felt they were heading in the right direction. Meeting up every two weeks, the band members showed off the songs they were working on; Gilmore was again dismissive, challenging them to write material that was different. Another batch of songs was written before recording began in July 2006 and concluded in September.

Featuring heavy use of keyboards, played by guitarist Billy Martin, most of the material is credited to the Madden brothers and Gilmore. Overall comparisons were made to the Killers and A Flock of Seagulls, with individual aspects of songs resembling works by the Rapture, t.A.T.u. and Underworld, among others. Early 2007 saw the debut of music videos, and single releases, for "Keep Your Hands off My Girl" and "The River" in January and February. "Dance Floor Anthem" was released as a single in June, and was followed by a tour supporting Justin Timberlake. The band then embarked on an Australian tour and released "Misery" as a single in December. Another single, "Where Would We Be Now", was released in May 2008 and preceded the band's co-headlining US tour with Boys Like Girls that summer.

''Good Morning Revival'' received a mixed reception from critics, some of whom praised the band's hooks and choruses. It sold 66,000 copies in its first week, debuting at number seven on the ''Billboard'' 200 in the process. As of July 2010, sales stood at 314,000 copies sold. Outside the US, the album reached the top 10 in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Austria and Germany, as well as the top 30 in the UK, Finland, Sweden, Italy and France. Within these territories, the album was certified platinum in Australia, and gold in Canada and New Zealand, and silver in the UK. "The River" and "Dance Floor Anthem" were successful on the US radio charts, and both reached the top 40 on the Hot 100. "Keep Your Hands off My Girl" charted within the top 10 in Australia and Finland and reached the top 40 across various European countries. "Keep Your Hands off My Girl" was certified gold in Australia, while "Dance Floor Anthem" was certified platinum in Australia and the US.

==Background== In March 2005, the band went on a UK tour<ref>{{cite web|url=http://drownedinsound.com/news/11238|title=The Explosion, um, EXPLODE, all over 2005...|work=Drowned in Sound|publisher=Silentway|author=Diver, Mike|date=February 3, 2005|access-date=February 27, 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180227164437/http://drownedinsound.com/news/11238|archive-date=February 27, 2018}}</ref> during which they worked on new material on their tour bus.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kerrang.com:80/nav?page=kerrang.news.detail&fixture_news=2143999|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050411043456/http://www.kerrang.com/nav?page=kerrang.news.detail&fixture_news=2143999|title=Good Charlotte pining for the studio|work=Kerrang!|publisher=Wasted Talent Ltd|date=March 30, 2005|archive-date=April 11, 2005|access-date=June 12, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> Vocalist Joel Madden expressed an interest in moving beyond the three-chord song structures used in the songs on ''The Chronicles of Life and Death''. Guitarist Billy Martin had kept this in mind while writing the majority of the material. At this point, Madden reckoned they had anywhere from a quarter to half an album's worth of songs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1496677/good-charlotte-strive-to-be-punk-rock-outkast-joel-says-marriage-comment-a-joke/|title=Good Charlotte Strive To Be Punk-Rock Outkast; Joel Says Marriage Comment A Joke|publisher=MTV|author=Vineyard, Jennifer|date=February 8, 2005|access-date=June 12, 2018|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180222152859/http://www.mtv.com/news/1496677/good-charlotte-strive-to-be-punk-rock-outkast-joel-says-marriage-comment-a-joke/|archive-date=February 22, 2018}}</ref> In May, drummer Chris Wilson left the group and was replaced by Dean Butterworth.<ref name=MTVwont/> The band had met him through Goldfinger frontman John Feldmann.<ref name=UGover/> In August, the band revealed they would be recording later in the year with producer Eric Valentine.<ref name=Melodichope/> Madden said he had been revisiting the music of acts he used to enjoy, such as Oasis, the Police and the Clash.

The band reconnected with Don Gilmore, who produced their first album, and showed him the 50 songs they had written.<ref name=Graff39/> Gilmore was dismissive of all the material<ref name=Graff40/> except for "Keep Your Hands off My Girl".<ref name=Idobireturns>{{cite web|url=https://idobi.com/news/good-charlotte-returns-today/|title=Good Charlotte Returns Today|work=idobi|publisher=idobi Network LLC|author=Fiasco, Lance|date=March 27, 2007|access-date=June 13, 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613145418/https://idobi.com/news/good-charlotte-returns-today/|archive-date=June 13, 2018}}</ref>

Dave Massey, executive vice president of A&R at Sony Music Labels Group, and Gilmore proposed that they reinvent themselves,<ref name=Graff40/> a view the Madden brothers shared.<ref name=Idobireturns/> Massey said: "[They] wrote some very promising early songs, but both Don and myself really wanted to push the envelop as to what could be achieved".<ref name=Graff40>Graff 2007, p. 40</ref> Gilmore suggested that the Madden brothers needed to escape from the Los Angeles scene to focus on the songs,<ref name=Idobireturns/> and recommended they go to Vancouver, Canada. Vancouver's picturesque environment was an inspiration,<ref name=MTVsound/> and over the course of seven weeks they wrote a new batch of songs. The group were anxious and scared about impressing Gilmore; after they had written "Victims of Love", Joel Madden said they "felt like 'OK, now we're definitely on to something new and different'".<ref name=Graff40/> Collectively, they spent two months in Canada before returning home.<ref name=GCbio/>

==Recording== Every two weeks, the band would get together and play each other the songs they had written. They made demos of all the songs they liked, eventually recording around 40 from the Madden brothers, 12 from Martin and five from bassist Paul Thomas. They were sent in batches of ten to Gilmore, who would often respond saying he only liked one of the tracks. Gilmore challenged the band to write new material that was different.<ref name=UGover/> The group had demoed another 30 songs before they began recording their final choices in July.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1536284/good-charlotte-busy-blogging-making-acronyms-cranking-out-demos-for-fourth-lp/|title=Good Charlotte Busy Blogging, Making Acronyms, Cranking Out Demos For Fourth LP|publisher=MTV|author=Montgomery, James|date=July 13, 2006|access-date=June 12, 2018|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613145418/http://www.mtv.com/news/1536284/good-charlotte-busy-blogging-making-acronyms-cranking-out-demos-for-fourth-lp/|archive-date=June 13, 2018}}</ref> The band had met previously with a number of producers, but eventually went with Gilmore because of his helpful comments on the demos.<ref name=UGover/>

Sessions took place at Armoury Studios and The Warehouse in Vancouver, and at NRG Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California. Recording was handled by Mark Kiczula with assistant engineer Fox Phelps.<ref name=GMRBooklet/> Martin used his Paul Reed Smith guitar for three-quarters of the recording; for the rest of the album he used a John 5 Telecaster. The guitars were played through Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifiers heads connected to Marshall speaker cabinets. He used an Eventide H3000 Harmonizer effects pedal on nearly all the songs. Benji Madden played an Ernie Ball bass running through JCM heads connected to Marshall cabinets.<ref name=UGover/>

The band were talking to Avenged Sevenfold during the MTV Video Music Awards and invited them to the studio to hear the album. Joel Madden asked if they wanted to appear on a song and picked "The River". M. Shadows lent his vocals, and Synyster Gates contributed a guitar solo to the track.<ref name=MTVsound/> Bobbie Page, Terry Wood, Maxine Waters and Carmen Carter sing backing vocals on "All Black".

The Madden brothers had used their downtime from the band to DJ various events.

===Critical response=== ''Good Morning Revival'' has received generally mixed reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.<ref name="Metacritic"/> About.com writer Daniel Wolfe said the band's decision to ape the Killers made the record "sound a little less gloomy".<ref name="about">{{cite web|url=http://top40.about.com/od/albums/fr/gcharlottegmr.htm|title=Good Charlotte - Good Morning Revival|work=About.com|author=Wolfe, Daniel|access-date=September 15, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140103235156/http://top40.about.com/od/albums/fr/gcharlottegmr.htm|archive-date=January 3, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine viewed the album as "desperate trend-chasing", piggybacking on two trends that rose to prominence since the band's 2002 breakthrough album: "dance-punk and '80s fetishism".<ref name="allmusic"/> In a review for ''Blender'', music critic Andy Greenwald said the album was full of "Disney-channel-ready pop" that was "buffed and Pro-Tooled almost beyond recognition".<ref name=Blenderview/> Mike Haydock of ''Drowned in Sound'' said the record was "about as punk rock as the ironed-in creases on David Cameron's jeans", and that purchasing the album was "both pointless and foolish".<ref name=DISreview/> ''The Guardian''{{'}}s Ian Gittins found the band swapping "grunge-lite punk-pop" for a "sleek angst-rock that would be rejected from the soundtrack of The OC for lack of emotional depth".<ref name=Guardianreview/>

Tom Sinclair of ''Entertainment Weekly'' wrote that a greater emphasis was put on "infectious choruses and razor-sharp melodic hooks".<ref name=EWreview/> Though the "cannily constructed" tracks might not "change anyone's life" ... "they sound good enough to almost convince you they mean something".<ref name=EWreview/> ''musicOMH''{{'}}s Alex Nunn noted that while there was a "cavalcade of saccharine hooks and uber-large choruses", the album basically amounted to the band "doing what they've always done ... and in the case of Revival, they do it as well as ever".<ref name="omh"/> ''The New York Times'' reviewer Kelefa Sanneh called it "a mystifyingly inept CD that includes some of the worst lyrics you will — or, with any luck, won't — hear all year".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/26/arts/music/26choi.html|title=A Quirky Voice Now Grounded in R&B|work=The New York Times|author=Sanneh, Kelefa|date=March 26, 2007|access-date=September 22, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150605113457/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/26/arts/music/26choi.html|archive-date=June 5, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> ''NME'' writer Mike Sterry dismissed the group's intention of a "complete reinvention" as the record was "still unmistakably Good Charlotte: vile, goth-jock pop with all the wit and nuance of a urine-soaked sock".<ref name=NMEreview/>

''Now''{{'s}} Evan Davies said that after several years of "hating every ounce" of Good Charlotte, "it seems now that the actual trick to enjoying their music on any plausible level is to go into the whole thing with absolutely no expectations.
