Dizzy up the Girl by Goo Goo Dolls

Pros: Dizzy, Slide
Cons: Many lyrics would be perfect for a suicide note

I really hate using the term sellout. It implies that an artist has given up his art in the name of more of the green stuff, and I don't think that's true in most cases. Bands need to change in order to survive the initial flash that comes after ...

Pros: amazing instruments, good lyrics
Cons: a couple of so-so songs

The Gods of Music definitely smiled down upon the Goo Goo Dolls in the Summer of 1998. Not only was Iris one of the biggest hits of the year, the song was also a huge victory for the band itself. After their previous smash album “A Boy Named...

Pros: Contains a perfect song
Cons: Well, most of the rest is garbage, horrible instrumentals, lyrically unimpressive

You don't get a better hook to buy an album than the perfect song. Those who know my reviews know I'm not one to toss around the word "perfect." A perfect song is a rare thing. "Dizzy Up the Girl" has the perfect song and it was the first one...

Pros: If you're a fan of early 80's...this may be music to your ears
Cons: Wish there was more of these kinds of songs

It's rare EVER that I find an entire CD that I can listen to from beginning to end without HAVING to hit the ff button through one song. This is one of those rare CD's.

I was first introduced to Goo Goo Dolls through "Name" from...

Pros: A couple inoffensive hit singles
Cons: Yawn

Outside the main campus center of my tiny private college, there stands a hideous, rusted-out metal sculpture that resembles a giant brown lollipop with spikes driven through it. It’s quite possibly the ugliest piece of artwork I’ve ever seen,...

Pros: -Great Lyrics, -Great guitar tunes, -Great singing, Inspiring Lyrics, A Great CD...
Cons: Art has no cons

This CD has lots of brilliant music on it. When I came in to write a review on this CD, I saw that it had already earned a well deserved 4.5 stars. Many CDs have groups of songs that have similar beats, similar melodies, and boring, unimaginative lyrics....

Pros: Great Sound, Displays their all around talent
Cons: People bash them for "changing" their style -- to me it's just growing!

This album is the Goo Goo Dolls' sixth album. The sounds on this album differ from their previous album, A Boy Named Goo. Throughout the years the band has gotten a lot of slack for changing their sound. Personally I think they are just expanding their...

Pros: Slide, Black Balloon and Iris are some of the best songs ever written
Cons: Not all songs are by John Rzeznik

John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls is a lyrical genius. His expressions of love, desire and passion are near perfection as he explains his intentions with brilliant romantic phrases and offers.

"Slide," is so good that listening to...

Pros: Black Balloon, awesome songs that will blow you away
Cons: Robby Takac should sticked to bass on this one.

You know, as clichéd (I know, it’s probably spelled wrong) as this sounds, it isn’t often that a truly GREAT album comes out. An album that will touch your soul and capture your heart, and never let go ‘til the ending guitar on “Hate This Place.” You...

Pros: Great all around
Cons: None

I had not purchased a "secular" CD in years, until now. I mostly listen to Christian music. But recently I have discovered the Goo Goo Dolls. Usually when I find something I like I jump right in head first. I just couldn't get enough. I have...

Pros: wonderful lyrics, variety of styles
Cons: the vocals of Robbie Takac, get him away from the mic....

Some people ask where these guys came from, they seemingly turned in to a huge overnight success story with their monster hit "Iris". The fact is that this band has been around for 13 years, and "Dizzy Up The Girl" is their sixth...

Pros: good music, smart lyrics
Cons: slightly less rock-like than last album

The Goo Goo Dolls have never been that masculine a group. Metallica and Guns n' Roses are for more like that. I also thought the Goo Goo Dolls would be a one hit wonder when they released "Name." But I listen to "Slide" and realize...

Pros: great songs, powerful lyrics and melodies
Cons: can't think of any

I always liked the Goo Goo Dolls - there was something special about their song 'Name'. I didn't really discover these songs until I was sitting on my boyfriend's bedroom floor. The song 'Slide' came on, and I was just totally in love with the song....

Pros: all songs are good
Cons: none that I can think of

The Goo Goo Dolls did and outstanding job on their CD Dizzy Up The Girl. I got the CD cause I loved the song "Iris". I got home and I popped it in and I was so amazed. All the songs on there were just wonderful. It is hard for me to find a...

Pros: Chock full of radio hits, mass appeal
Cons: Not the band old fans knew and loved

First of all, I want to make it clear that I think that there are some remarkably good songs on this album. John Reznick has found a lyrical strain that contains painfully romantic lines that women love to hear. The melodies are strong and the songs...
