Our Take

The Goo Goo Dolls have long been masters of creating infectious pop-rock tunes that stick in your head like a catchy jingle from a sugary cereal commercial. Rarities, their latest offering, is a collection of B-sides, demos, and unreleased tracks that gives fans a glimpse into the band's creative process.

Opening track "Miracle Pill (Demo)" sets the tone for the album with its raw, stripped-down sound that showcases the band's songwriting prowess. Lead singer Johnny Rzeznik's vocals are as emotive as ever, drawing the listener in with his soulful delivery.

Tracks like "Money, Fame & Fortune (Acoustic)" and "Autumn Leaves (Demo)" offer insight into the band's evolution over the years, with stripped-down arrangements that highlight the beauty of Rzeznik and Robby Takac's harmonies. The acoustic versions breathe new life into these familiar songs, showing a different side to the band's sound.

While not every track on Rarities is a hit, the album as a whole is a must-listen for any die-hard Goo Goo Dolls fan. It's a fascinating journey through the band's catalogue, offering a fresh perspective on their music and reminding us why they have remained a staple in the pop-rock world for over three decades.

So grab your headphones, press play, and let the Goo Goo Dolls' Rarities take you on a musical adventure you won't soon forget.
