Free Music Notes for What I Learned About Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce

Free Music Review: Goo Fans! Buy this CD - Not your average Greatest Hits CD
Hit: 5 Stars

On top of everything is the enhanced part of the CD which allows access to a special, fairly well-designed website where fans can view and hear pictures, video and audio from these tracks as well as some other goodies. I had no problem accessing this site from my work PC with it's T3 connection but I had problems with my home MAC 56K connection (unable to hear tracks or view video and the re-fresh is painfully slow). I don't what exactly is the problem - connection or platform.

My only complaint is with the liner notes on the CD. Although the pictures and graphics are refreshing, I would have liked some commentary from the band about their journey making this record. It must have been quite an experience to re-visit their earlier sound. Also, I would like to know more about the other musicians (non-band) from the other tracks. Two Days in February has an added organ part (sounds like an old pump organ to me) and it's not credited. You must enter the website to access lyrics to the tracks but they are available and also include some video clips.

This CD takes the listener on a backwards journey through the Goo Goo Dolls career so those more familiar with the most recent album will feel at home immediately. The amazing part is that the whole CD works from beginning to end and the listener gets a good sense of where the Goo's came from and the natural progression they've made over the years. I'm only left to wonder - where will they go from here and how soon will we get some new tunes? However, I will be satisfied with this CD until that time.
