Having undergone numerous not-so-subtle musical transformations since their first album in 1989, the Goo Goo Dolls have matured into a powerful trio that seems to instinctively know its way around a catchy tune. With vocalist Johnny's Paul Westerberg-influenced delivery and songs packed with exciting dynamics, the Goo Goo Dolls have really hit their stride. However, the stride they've hit is probably not going to appeal to most fans from their punk rock years, and some may actually think A Boy Named Goo has more in common with a harder-rocking Eddie Money than, say, the Ramones. --Adem Tepedelen

 I love the cd, A boy named Goo by the Goo Goo Dolls. August 5, 2008
Music lover (PA, USA)
The Cd plays really well. There are a couple scratches on the outside of the case but it doesn't affect play at all.

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 wasn't feeling this at first.... January 21, 2007

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.

I had the cassette tape of GooGoo Dolls in 1995 and I was listening to the music constantly 20 year old ! It was the greatest band I heard caming out of my hometown in New York !

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 this
