This is clearly The Goo Goo Dolls largest commercial success, and with good reason. This album ended up being a very popular blend of the band's harder rock edge with more pop-oriented songs. I have to give the band a lot of credit; I found songs like "Black Balloon" and "Broadway" to have deeper levels of meaning than their earlier songs. I've enjoyed this album since its original release. My only knock on "Dizzy Up The Girl" is that in some ways it's a victim of its own success, as multiple songs on the album have been overplayed by radio stations across the U.S.A. This album is more than the individual hits it contains; listen all the way through the album yourself, & I'm sure you'll agree.
Although this Cd has three gems: Iris, Black Balloon, and Slide; the rest of the album is crude. The other songs are like ones from their earlier albums where they try to Rock but fail miserably. This is a band that definantely needs to stick to ballads and slow lovey songs. At that they are great. If you like their song "Name" then I think you'll like Iris , Black Balloon and Slide. But stop there or you'll be dissappointed. I just wish someone would tell these guys they don't need to Rock out, that they're better lovers so to speak.
I used to have this CD when it first came out, and I went to see them in concert the same year. I have always loved the Goo Goo Dolls, especially when they were in their garage band phase. Since I somehow lost this CD, I had to replace it!
