Goo Goo Dolls "Dizzy Up The Girl"
WSVNRadio sees the debut of John Rzeznik and the Goo Good Dolls this week;
their sixth major label album of their career, 1998's Dizzy Up The Girl.
Their previous album 1995's A Boy Named Goo, likewise Dizzy Up The
Girl received heavy radio airplay, as many were discovering how good this
band is. Inspired by rock, heavy metal and punk influences, Dizzy Up The
Girl saw many songs as hits, the most popular one was "Iris,"
featured in the hit movie City Of Angels.
"Dizzy" is a goo goo-d track to start off the album, as it keeps the
listener listening more, to realize how good this band is. "Slide" was
one of the radio hits, as to some, this song should not be a stranger.
"Broadway" rocking as goo-goo-d as the Foo Foo Fighters.
"January Friend" has an almost punk style with harder edged vocals.
"Black Balloon" was another radio hit; "Bullet Proof" is a little
darker in sound, where "Amigone" has a more updated punk style. "All
Eyes On Me" is a light, pleasant number, where the next two songs, "Full
Forever" and "Acoustic #3" have a punk style, in up-to-date form.
"Iris" is just one of the songs, that where you first hear it, you
know it's a hit, and a song that is never tiring. The last two songs are
equally good rockers -- "Extra Pale" and "Hate This Place,"
despite the word "Hate" in its title.
After listening to Dizzy Up The Girl, the Goo Goo Dolls prove to be
a very distinguished rock band, and to ask why there really aren't many more
bands like them. They rock, with their influences of punk more than heavy
metal (being that their major label was Metal Blade from Warner Bros.; a label
best known for heavy metal acts). Foo Fighters, Green Day and a bit of Matchbox
20 falls within the groups associated with the Goo Goo Dolls, and afterall,
all of those acts mentioned are equally superior. And so are The Goo Goo Dolls.
