| | Goo Goo Dolls Let Love In CD Goo Goo Dolls Discography of CDs
 (27 Customer Reviews)
The Goo Goo Dolls' transformation from thrashy alternative rockers to polished mainstream pop-rock stars was complete by the early 1990s, so it's no surprise that 2006's LET LOVE IN continues the sound that brought the band their greatest commercial success. In fact, LET LOVE IN is the group's cleanest and slickest effort, packed front to back with melodic, mid-tempo, and ballad-oriented MOR rock that borders at times on adult contemporary pop.
Thanks in large part to the production of Glen Ballard (who has produced Alanis Morissette and the Dave Matthews Band) there are few of the Goo Goo Dolls' original edges left. Yet this shouldn't bother fans who came to love the band after albums like A BOY NAMED GOO. The pleasant, well-crafted music here should please fans of any style of mainstream rock that's not too hard on the ears.

Rolling Stone (p.59) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] outfits its trademark mix of stylized arena-rock guitars and huge romantic choruses with subtle atmospherics and a bright pop sheen."
Q (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Tempering their Bon Jovi-style bombast with chiming, U2-inspired atmospherics, this is music precision-built for vast stadiums."

This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
When Matchbox Twenty's first album became a hit, some critics lumped the band in with flash-in-the-pan rock acts of the day. What these early naysayers missed, of course, is that in vocalist Rob Thomas, Matchbox Twenty had one of the finest mainstream pop/rock songwriters in the business. Not only did Thomas rack up a string of hits with the Florida group, but he also co-penned "Smooth" from Santana's Grammy-winning 1999 comeback album, SUPERNATURAL.
With SOMETHING TO BE, his solo debut, Thomas pulls out all ...

Let Love In music CDs
$6.09
SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION - LIVE features songs from the studio version in the same sequence.
Recorded live in Copenhagen, Denmark; Milan, Italy; Lievin, France; New Orleans, Louisiana.
SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION finds the band reinventing itself somewhat via lyirics that largely abandon the bleakness of the band's previous forays in favor of cautious optimism and spiritual questions.
Depeche Mode's tenth album, SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION, finds the band reinventing itself somewhat. Not that it'd been exactly treading water, but its last several albums had explored and refined a particular aesthetic of dark lyrical themes and minor-key synthesizer atmospherics.
However, in 1993's grunge era, lyrical mopeyness was endemic and keyboards were rapidly becoming out of date. ...

Let Love In music CDs
$11.75
Initial pressings of "A SUNSET PANORAMA" did not contain a bonus DVD.
Although the Hydra Head label is usually associated with noise bands, there are a few exceptions, such as the 2005 release by Logh, A Sunset Panorama. When you think of "melodic alternative rock" circa the early 21st century, mediocre/same-sounding bands that rule the radio immediately come to mind, but this Swedish outfit shows that it certainly doesn't have to be that way. Picture Sonic Youth reborn as an emo band -- thanks to the sullen vocals and sparse guitar lines -- and you come close to what Logh sounds like. For the group's third release overall, Logh wanted to try a new approach, so they hunkered down for six months, rehearsing steadily. They then entered the recording studio with producer Pelle Gunnerfeldt (best known for his work with the Hives, Sahara Hotnights, etc.), where they recorded the complete album in a ten-hour span -- supposedly only breaking for lunch. The plan worked, as Logh have assembled their best album yet, on the strength of such standouts as "Destinymanifesto," which features some very Thurston Moore-like vocals from Mattias Friberg, and "Asymmetric Tricks," which includes some nice xylophone touches. For a while, it looked like the Hives were the best rock export to come out of Sweden in some time. But with A Sunset Panorama, Logh may soon be getting the nod. ~ Greg Prato
