Album Review
Hard to believe it, but at one point all the Goo Goo Dolls ever wanted to be was the Replacements — nothing more than a ragged band playing kickass rock & roll along with the occasional heartbroken ballad. Of course, they were never as chaotic as the 'Mats; they were good guys where Paul Westerberg and company were ornery, unpredictable artists, prone to self-sabotage, legendarily throwing away their potential breakthrough gig on Saturday Night Live. That wasn't the Goo Goo Dolls. They never met an opportunity they didn't turn down, slowly morphing from baby Replacements to the cheerful rockers showcased on this 2007 compilation, Greatest Hits, Vol. 1: The Singles. This 14-track collection picks up the tale with 1995's A Boy Named Goo, which not so coincidentally is where the band abandoned its 'Mats aspiration and started being the alt-rock band that played by the rules (even then, Boy's breakthrough hit, "Name," is re-recorded here, the better to make it fit with the pop of their later years). Where all their peers shunned power ballads, the Goo Goo Dolls embraced them, slowly turning into a group that specialized in soaring ballads and anthems. Surely there was an audience for this, since the Dolls ruled the adult Top 40 charts throughout the 2000s as they kept refining and smoothing their blueprint out. They were reliable, they satisfied fans, and for those fans, this Greatest Hits will satisfy.
Customer Reviews
Your First Kiss...yeah its like that.....
I can close my eyes and remember when I heard these songs for the first time. You never get tired of hearing them. Every song gives you a different feeling. Its good to hear them again and relive all the wonderful feelings...its just like your first kiss... you never forget that feeling.
Great Collection
Not many people realize that this is the Goo Goo Dolls' eleventh album. That's right, they've been around since 1986. Although this collection doesn't span back quite that far, it covers the latter half of their career and the best of their 22 singles. Each one of these songs has found a special place in the hearts of fans and casual listeners alike. The new recording of Name shows how far they've come since their first big breakthrough with A Boy Named Goo in 1995, and the inclusion of the soon-to-be single Feel The Silence tells fans that they're not going away just yet. I think this collection is great for casual listeners who have maybe missed some of these songs on the radio, didn't know they were by the Goo Goo Dolls, or just haven't picked up their other CDs. Regardless, this is a stellar album, I encourage new listeners to check out their other material, and I excitedly anticipate their next release.
impossible to not like
Dude, they broke some sort of AC Radio record with these singles - i think it was 'most consecutive top 10 singles' or something like that a.k.a. that should be enough to tell you that this is the most listenable/satisfying and kickass compalation around, regardless if you are a dumbass and think they "sold out" or are "whiny". John Rzeznik's a hitmaker and there's nothing wrong with that.....that is, unless you like crappy music. We should all be thanking the goos for being one of the few radio bands to still make music that matters - these songs define a music generation without a doubt.
