Most people know the Goo Goo Dolls for the ballads, popular on "adult alternative" stations. And while that may or may not be your cup of tea, most people don't realize that they started off wanting to be just like the Replacements. Some of their really early stuff is pretty raw, but right about the early 90s they hit a sweet spot between that and the commercial singles they became known for. This album captures some really great kinda indie songs. Open to close, this is a strong garage-rock album. Worth checking out regardless of how you feel about their more recent ventures.
