Good Charlotte aims for Blink 182-style full length

In a new interview, Good Charlotte's Joel Madden talks about the band's forthcoming album, and how he hopes it will sound:
I hate when [people ask about Good Charlotte's new album], and we say it sounds like something, and then there's a news piece about what it sounds like, and it sounds completely different. But we're trying to fill the void. ... Like, I think there's a need for a new Blink-182 album, and they're not working on an album. I'm a huge Blink-182 fan, but I think in general there's a void there for music like that, and in this moment, we're making a record that kind of answers to that void. We'll see, though
The record is expected in 2009. You can read the rest of the interview here.
