Music Review: The Goo Goo Dolls - Something for the Rest of Us

                                            

 For 2010, the Goo Goo Dolls offer their ninth studio album, Something for the Rest of Us. It’s been four years since their last album, Let Love In. Continuing with their 90’s sound, the band is incorporating some new sounds, in the way of Bon Jovi and Stone Temple Pilots.

So what does It Sound Like?

 I think the album sounds like a new Bon Jovi or U2. All of the songs have warm guitars and inspirational lyrics. This is something for people who listen to real music. The Goo Goo Dolls still stick to their roots, in the songs “As I Am”,  “Home”, “Notbroken” and “One Night”, just to name to a few.  

Song-By-Song Review

1.Sweetest Lie – 8/10 Great opening, sounds just like Stone Temple Pilots – Between the        Lines.

2.  As I Am – 10/10 Driving interlude, typical Goo Goo Dolls.

3.  Home – 10/10 Great lyrics, catchy chorus, just like Death Cab for Cutie.

4. Notbroken – 10/10 Inspirational, powerful lyrics sounds like U2.

5. One Night – 10/10 Reminiscent of Broadway. Typical Goo Goo Dolls.

6. Nothing Is Real – 8.5/10 Great sound, just like Iris     

7. Now I Hear – 7/10 A different sound.

8. Still Your Song – 10/10 An Iris for this decade. Great vocals and a driving chorus.

9. Something for the Rest of Us – 8/10 One of those power ballads. A real 90’s song.

10. Say You’re Free – 7/10 Bon Jovi-esque guitars in this one. Catchy chorus. Good guitar solo.

11. Hey Ya – 8/10 Typical Goo Goo Dolls. Just like Black Balloon. Excellent guitars in this one.

12. Soldier – 8/10 Great vocal. Very empowering.

Total: 105/120 = 87.5 

            

The Bottom Line

 If You’re a fan of the Goo Goo Dolls,you won’t be disappointed by this album, the songs on this album have the potential for being big hits.
