PO: Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy Up the Girl & Boy Named Goo (10/15)


Recommended Posts

This doesn't qualify as a Nostalgia release. Things like this, and Third Eye Blind, are not nostalgia releases. They're legitimately good albums capturing the sound of its era.

Stuff like Harvey Danger and Everclear are nostalgia releases

Agreed they do capture how incredibly terrible the late 90s were for popular rock music.

I will definitely buy this. Was just talking to my lady the other day about how we wish more 90s alt records were getting repressed.

I need Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, Wallflowers, Sister Hazel, Marcy Playground, Better Than Ezra, Gin Blossoms, etc.

 

At least Barenaked Ladies' Stunt got a release about a month ago via MOV. Need to grab that.

This sums up my thoughts pretty succinctly.  Happy to see Grave Dancer's Union show up, too.  Sort of on the fence about ordering from New On Vinyl but that's a thread for another, errr, thread.

My man, thanks for posting this.  I love Stunt and had no idea.  I agree with you, especially on Marcy Playground and Gin Blossoms.

What're you guys gonna go nuts about next? Hootie? Natalie Imbruglia?

I don't see what the big deal about enjoying this, or any other 90s release. It's a record filled with catchy, well-written pop songs that happened to be the soundtracks to a lot of people's formative years. My dad still listened to his Beatles records, decades after there release. I'm not saying the Goo Goo Dolls are the Beatles, by any means; just wondering if a decade from now you'll only be listening to new, relevant and cool albums instead of ones you thoroughly enjoyed at one time.

Please, by no means take this as an aggressive post toward you, because I promise you it wasn't meant to be said in a dickhead way, but it makes no sense why it's wrong to enjoy a pop record from the 90s, merely because someone really does consider it a great record.
