Hi guys,
Today i got my friend to finally listen to some goo goo dolls songs, cos i woz talkin alot about them to him and he didn't know who they were and the only image when you said goo goo dolls 2 him woz of a rag doll!!!.......
Anyway, he loved the songs from dizzy up the girl and gutterflower..  but he said somthing thats never entered my mind but this is what he said....he goes that the music i.e guitars and drums r loud on the songs that they overshadow Johnny's voice for e.g on 'aint that unusual'.
Do u think this is true or not?
You guys r the only hardcore goo fans i know.. so don't b mad at me for even suggesting this. I love the goos!

i guess i never looked at it that way... i'll have to pay attention to the sound level of the drums/guitars next time!
i know an acquaintance and he won't listen to them just because of their name.. now talk about being silly! LOL

Very true! I had to listen to Gutterflower a couple of times before I decided - OK, this is a cool album. For some reason, the band does not make John's voice out there enough. They have it more a mix in with the music. I think this is one of the factors that hurt sales of Gutterflower.  DUTG You really notice John's voice and catch all the words, not so on Gutterflower, especially if you have a cheap system in your car!

I've got the opposite view of DUTG. I think the music is WAY too in the background on it. John's voice sticks out too much (as much as I love it, I like a full sound) Gutterflower would have sold better with better promotion. It's all about the advertising dollar, and Goo got very little of it in support of GF. (Only 2 videos? C'mon! And Sympathy only happened after it took off on radio)

I've never really noticed John's voice getting "lost" with all the music. Personally, I prefer the sound of ABNG because it's a little less polished, and you really get the whole vibe of the guitars and everything... on DUTG, although I love it, you don't really get the same feeling of energy in the music, and I think that's probably because John's voice is more emphasised.
I agree that Gutterflower would have done better if it had been promoted more - the record company dropped the ball a little on that one, maybe they were expecting that the association with DUTG would get the albums to fly off the shelves without them needed to invest anything extra.  I hope they're a bit more pro-active for the next album!!

Agreed. I really like the sound of all the instruments. It enhances the singing.
