  1. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    Does an admirable job updating Good Charlotte’s sound in ways that should please both long-term and new fans

  2. 6.5 |   Beardfood

    ‘Youth Authority’ will appeal to the demographic they left behind in 2011, all grown up and ready for life

  3. 6.0 |   Spin

    It’s a decidedly uncool record from a band that’s long since stopped caring about these things, and that’s what makes its heart-swelling highlights possible

  4. 5.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    Youth Authority plays like an afterthought with no consideration for evolving beyond the same sound they’ve had for the last 15 years

  5. 5.0 |   No Ripcord

    On Youth Authority, Good Charlotte bet on the same formula that made them big, one that they've perfected and trademarked. It works. Despite their age, no one can say they don't know how to harness the powers of youth

  6. 4.2 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The Maddens and co. sound like they’re throwing the obligatory tropes of encroaching middle age against the wall, hoping that something, anything, will stick

    The mindless cacophony and wretchful lyrics alarmed and distressed the man so terribly that he ran at high speed towards the shut door behind him and knocked himself out

Cindy Lee  Diamond Jubilee

Overall, Diamond Jubilee is a compelling diamond in a year of classics that, while hurt by some issues, strives to a level of uniqueness and brilliance that makes it one of the most needed albums to listen to this year Spill Magazine

Cindy Lee  Diamond Jubilee

The record – just like the medium of music – is doomed (or blessed) to exist in this in-between state of ghost-like liminality. Some things exist only through their non-existence, in a brief flash of time, defined through the myths we attribute to them, the outlines we long to perceive within, to imagine another, to feel ourselves Beats Per Minute

Cindy Lee  Diamond Jubilee

An out-of-the-blue magnum opus from the Canadian indie drag artist. Print edition only Uncut
