When the Goo Goo Dolls solidified their place in the pop mainstream with 1998's DIZZY UP THE GIRL, one of the casualties was frontman Johnny Rzeznik's marriage. For the band's 2002 follow-up GUTTERFLOWER, Rzeznik channeled his feelings into a set of songs steeped in the Goo's mastery of hook-ridden, rock-edged pop. Lines like "How does it feel when you're out on your own/And now it's too late to come home" on the Pearl Jam-flavored "What A Scene" and "I'm torn in pieces/I'm blind and waiting for you" on the catchy and whip-smart "Big Machine" are self-explanatory. For more emotional turbulence, see the mandolin-soaked delicacy of "Sympathy" and the epic "Truth Is A Whisper" with its driven tempo and churning guitars.
Bassist Robby Takac claims a third of the songwriting credit on GUTTERFLOWER and proves to be as talented as his Rzeznik at crafting memorable cuts. Delivering the goods with a higher-pitched rasp than Rzeznik, Takac shines on the INXS pop-funk of "Up, Up, Up," soaring ear-candy "Smash" and punkier abandon of "Tucked Away." Cultivators of aggressive guitar-pop with an adult edge, The Goo Dolls once again score with the bittersweet bud that is GUTTERFLOWER.

3.5 stars out of 5 - ...Proves once again that they are masters at crafting instantly appealing pop songs, admittedly no small gift in itself...

    Good CD. A lot of the songs from this got some heavy radio air play. It's more mainstream than the ones from the past. They keep getting better every album.

      Great album

    This is deffinetly a must buy for any Goo Goo Dolls fan. This album is primarily based off of Johnny's divorce and you can certainly tell in each one of these songs by listening to the lyrics. This is an album that is perfect for you to compare whenever you are going through a break up or anything to that effect because Johnny certainly chose the right words to describe such emotions.

    ... and deffinetly listen to "Big Machine" -- it is phenominal, everyone can relate to that song.

      Subpar for them
    Review created: 04/15/06

    I find this CD to be their worst. I dont mind a few of the songs such as sympathy and here is gone, but I wouldnt buy it again. Not their best work.
