Album Notes Goo Goo Dolls: Johnny Rzeznik (vocals, guitar); Robbie Takac (vocals, bass); Mike Malinin (drums). Additional personnel: Tim Pierce (guitar, mandolin); Tommy Keene (guitar); Jamie Muhoberac, Benmont Tench (keyboards); Luis Conte (percussion); Nathan December, Rob Cavallo. "Iris" was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. "Black Balloon" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. On first hearing, the Goo Goo Dolls sound like the Replacements' distant cousins, full of trashy rock bravado tempered by intelligent, often tender lyricism and a penchant for combining ringing acoustic guitars with dirtier sounds for a rich sonic stew. In fact, DIZZY UP THE GIRL finds the Dolls moving further away from the Replacements sound than ever before, with a definite '90s influence to the proceedings. The group's main link to the Replacements (and to Paul Westerberg's main influence, Alex Chilton) is the man-child dichotomy played out over the course of the album. The youthful, energetic spirit that makes DIZZY UP THE GIRL an exciting bit of rock & roll is matched at every step by a world-weariness that gives the jangly alt-rock tunes an air of maturity.

Reviews I love the Goo Goo Dollsm They have been my favorite band for a while and I didn't have the cd and artwork. So I needed them both. Review ID: 10000000006578579 Was this review helpful? Report this review I love the music!! I bought the CD after finding the tape in my car. I decided to get the CD once realizing how great the music is on the CD. It has some good, fast music and a mix of a couple of slow songs. It is so nice and the songs have some meaning behind them. Very good to listen to.

I have always loved the Goo Goo Dolls, especially when they were in their garage band phase. Since I somehow lost this CD, I had to replace it! Review ID: 10000000004980729 Was this review helpful?
