As I Am

The Goo Goo Dolls performed a pair of tracks off their latest album Something For The Rest Of Us recently on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Not their best, but I like the songs.

Goo Goo Dolls "Something For The Rest Of Us" Album Review

We all know & pretty much love their hit "Iris" from all the way back in 1998, but for me, it was with their 2006 album Let Love In that the Goo Goo Dolls could officially call me a fan. Gorgeous tunes like "Stay With You", "Better Days", & the title track are simply undeniable! Thus, my anticipation has grown over the past four years substantially for their follow-up & it arrives with Something For The Rest Of Us.

1. "Sweetest Lie": Though still good, this song has a little bit of a stronger sound than I prefer. Luckily, for the rest of the album, they slow it down for me quite nicely! 4/5

2. "As I Am": Ahh, that's more like it! 4.5/5

3. "Home": The album's first single is a worthy one, if not quite the ear-catcher as their last album's lead ("Stay With You"). Almost though. 4.5/5

4. "Notbroken": The slow jam vibe continues nicely with this'n. 4.5/5

5. "One Night": We continue with this pretty good cut; it's not a highlight though. 4/5

6. "Nothing Is Real": Honestly, the lyrics confuse me a little on this one, although I do really like it. 4/5

7. "Now I Hear": This is one of two songs on the album sung by Robby Takac (not Johnny Rzeznik). I'm not a fan of his singing personally, but I won't hold it against them.

8. "Still Your Song": Nothing groundbreaking, but still a solid track. 4/5

9. "Something For The Rest Of Us": Top-notch album filler. Forgettable, but still quite good. 4/5

10. "Say You're Free": This is the other song sung by Robby Takac. Again, won't hold it against them...

11. "Hey Ya": Not to the point that it's a throwaway, but the chorus is a bit too repetitive. 3.5/5

12. "Soldier": A lovely way to top it all off! Very purdy. 4.5/5

If you're a fan of that good ol' rock ballad sound the Goo Goo Dolls are known for, then you are definitely one of 'the rest of us.' I wouldn't say that Something For The Rest Of Us has anything completely mindblowing on it, but it certainly doesn't have a stinker in the bunch either. I like the appropriateness of the title too--in the midst of all the absolute crap that the radio likes to play anymore, there is indeed still some good music out there!

Rating: 4/5 Stars

Goo Goo Dolls Perform On Dancing With The Stars

The Goo Goo Dolls took to Dancing With The Stars to perform a medley of their mega-hit "Iris" & new single "Notbroken", which is not surprising, considering it was the top-selling single song on their new album Something For The Rest Of Us the week it was released. The songs also sounded good together... although those harmonies kinda ruined it.

Goo Goo Dolls "Home" Video Premiere

"Home" is the first single off the Goo Goo Dolls' upcoming album Something For The Rest Of Us (August 31st). The last video for this song was just a promotional one (thank goodness) & this is more like it! At least the band is in it... I can't wait for the album!

Goo Goo Dolls "Home" Video Premiere

"Home" is the first single off the Goo Goo Dolls' upcoming album Something For The Rest Of Us (August 31st). This boring, straight-forward video, which could easily be mistaken as fan-made, is much less than what this song deserves.

The Goo Goo Dolls go the simple route with the cover art for their forthcoming album Something For The Rest Of Us, which comes out in July. Works for me! They also just premiered their lead single "Home", which you can listen to below. It makes me happy.

Goo Goo Dolls Album Update

The Goo Goo Dolls are currently prepping for the release of their next album. Titled Something For The Rest Of Us, the album is due to be completed in February & set for release in late spring. The band has already performed a couple of the album's tracks, "The Sweetest Lie" & "As I Am," for a special that will air Christmas Day. For one, I'm loving that album title. The more it sinks in that the general public couldn't be bothered by the presence of actual talent from actual artists on the radio, the more I cherish the real music that gets released by talented folks such as these. Also, I loved their last album Let Love In, so I look forward to hearing them again in 2010.

Goo Goo Dolls "Real" Video Premiere

Considering what I said earlier today about recognizing talent, here is another example. I'm not quite sure how new this video is, but I thought I would share the latest single "Real" from the Goo Goo Dolls, which was recorded for the Olympics. The video is simple, but the song is excellent.
