Free Music Notes for A Boy Named Goo
Free Music Review: It's All Good
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not an industry expert, so I'll write no sophisticated analysis of this album, but here's my take: I love every song on this disc! This band has an emotional range I enjoy; the lyrics aren't vacuous and the tunes stay with you. Those are requisites of good music, in my book.
No one says much about a favorite tune of mine here, "Slave Girl," that speaks to (musically and lyrically) the animal urge in all of us. I'm just glad I got the entire CD instead of missing out on any one of these songs by relying on a compilation. That's the oft-rewarding risk of going for the whole album - you might find a gem you'd have otherwise never heard. Not to dis compilations - they have their place.

I must say when I first listened to a boy named goo I was disappointed. I really did not like it, and I was surprised because in general I really like the goo goo dolls. I saw them live once and they were pretty awesome. It's hard to explain why I didn't enjoy this cd, but I guess it just didn't have that oomph that makes a song or an album great. I also didn't like how on one song Johnny was the lead singer and on the next Robby was, back and forth throughout the entire cd, it felt and sounded sorta amateur (and not in a good way) and just seemed kinda disconnected. I can't say any song was bad, but I didn't fall in love with any except for the one I already knew. All in all after the second and third listen it has started to grow on me. I find the best songs to be: name, flat top, naked, ain't that unusual and eyes wide open. Free Music Review: My Goo Goo Dolls Review !

Here is the commercial breakthrough of the worst group of the nineties. Songs like name & long way down define how lousy modern day rock has become. It doesnt get much worse than thisFree Music Review: Goo's Name
Hit: 5 Stars
A BOY NAMED GOO was a remarkable album to the Goo Goo Dolls for many reasons. It was their fifth record, and that is a record producing number that any band should be proud of. The record's cover caused some contrevesy over what the picture was really trying to display and depict. For awhile, Wal-Mart boycotted the record because of the cover material. On this record, all of the songs are well put togethered and performed, even the bass player's songs. A BOY NAMED GOO was also the record the finally brought the public's attention to the Goo Goo Dolls with their much requested single: "Name". This time around, Johnny Rzeznik steps up his accoustic sound with both performance level and lyric writing. He also has more inverted chord progressions than before, both clean and grudgy. His melodies are even more apparent than in any of his previous work. Rzeznik also leads the band well with his instrument and vocal techniques. This traits are very indentifiable on the bass player's songs because, these piece are for more melodic than ever before. The great thing about A BOY NAMED GOO is, that all the parts and songs flow perfectly from one piece to the next. Goo Goo Dolls fans have to hear this record because A BOY NAMED GOO displays what the band sounded like right before they hit it big and went to their Mainstream sound.
Stand out tracks include:
"Long Way Down"
"Name"
"Only One"
"Ain't That Unusual"
'Eyes Wide Open"
"Disconnected"
