The orchestral-pop hit "Iris" (from the soundtrack to City of Angels) proved the Goo Goo Dolls were no one-hit wonder with 1995's "Name." One listen to "Slide," the crafty, yearning second track off their sixth release, suggests the streak continues for Buffalo's finest. Not surprisingly, aspects that make the aforementioned songs memorable--warm, acoustic stylings; strings; heartrending hooks--also make Dizzy come alive elsewhere. Ultimately, the effort documents the band's continued migration from indie rock toward the mainstream. Thus, while "Slide" and the reprise of the wondrous "Iris" might shine for weeks (or even years) of repeated listens, attempts to keep alive the group's power-trio past often have a been-there/done-that feel. --Neal Weiss

 Great CD April 1, 2008
Patrick (Honeoye NY USA)
This is a great CD that still bears up to repeated listenings. Very rarely can you find a disc with as many charting hits as this one has. On top of that, the rest of the disc is also well crafted. If you look at their GH compilation that was just released...a good portion of the songs are from here. This is the best effort to date for the boys from Buffalo.

 Accesible pop. October 30, 2007
ADRIENNE MILLER (TENNESSEE)
Dizzy Up the Girl is a solid and quite intense album from the Goo Goo Dolls. Of course this album isn't perfect, there is a lot of filler but the songs released are absolutely their best ever like Black Balloon, Slide, Broadway, Iris, and Dizzy. My fave track on this album though is the short but moving Acoustic #3. Gutterflower has some of their best material, I would start with that album first. Dizzy Up the Girl is a fine album thanks in part to Johnny Reznick's stunning vocals. Rock on boys!

A lot of these songs bring back memories of high school although it hasn't been that long. Goo Goo Dolls have generally produced songs of high quality if you're into alternative music.
The Best CD I have ever listened to August 15, 2007
Music Lover 123
Like the title says, this is the best CD, i have ever had the priveledge of listening to. This is coming froms someone who owns hundreds of CDs from many different types of music. This CD came at the height of the goo goo dolls popularity mainly due to the single iris which was played in the nicholas cage movie "City of Angels". But this album is SO much more than iris. This is the definative album of the 90s. Dizzy was a great choice to start the album with because it is short and catchy. Slide is another well known goo goo dolls song probably one of my favorites and it is impossible not to sing along.
Broadway is a beautiful song and it caught my attention immediately due to its very catchy chorous. January friend is another catchy and irresistible shorter song. Black balloon was another hit, its a lot mellower but necessary and definately one of their best known songs. Bullet Proof was very powerful in my opinion my favorite part is when he sings "would you listen when i call your name." AMigone is honestly the only song that is not perfect. The whole Cd runs so smoothly like riding down a highway at night with no cars but amigone is a little bit of traffic. Its not a bad song but it doesnt live up to the other songs on this album. All Eyes on me is breathtaking. Although it never was played on the radio it sounds like it could have been. Full forever is a good and solid rock song and a perfect introduction to acoustic no. 3 which is one of the best acoustic instrumentals that i know. iris without saying is the most known from this cd. It is a beautiful and lyrically genious song. Every music fan at least needs this song on their ipods. Extra pale is a great rock song to pick up after the slower iris. Hate this place is a perfect song to close out a perfect album. it is also one of my favorite songs "Hold on...Dream away your my sweet cherade."
This album is the best album released from the 90s and today. I have never heard a new CD after 1998 that it better than this cd. The only CD that comes remotely close is Under the Table and dreaming and although it is close, the Goo goo dolls defidently come out on top. YOu can chill, run, work out, drive, and make love while this CD is playing. You will not be dissapointed by the Cd that i and many people call the best of the 90s
