"Let Love In" (Warner Bros.) - Goo Goo Dolls It's hard to believe this group has eight albums to its credit already ... even harder to accept the fact the trio from Buffalo, N.Y., has been together for 21 years. What's not difficult to digest is the level of success and acclaim they've reached. The great band with the not-so-great name is known for diverse and melodic rock offerings on their most recent platinum albums has gone almost exclusively to the softer side of their sound with this offering, and it still works. "Let Love In" is the result of singer-guitarist John Rzeznik, Robby Takac and drummer Mike Malinin's move back to Buffalo from the Left Coast and the "disingenuous" atmosphere of Los Angeles. The punk-inspired Rzeznik rediscovered his roots and renewed a writing partnership with Takac that ended after 1993 album "SuperstarCarWash." The newest album's title pretty much says it all as it evokes an optimistic, happy, intimate feel with songs like "Better Days" along with ear-enlightening selections like the title track, "Feel the Silence," and "Listen." There's a bonus on this album as well with the inclusion of the trio's solid cover of the Supertramp classic "Give a Little Bit." The Goo Goo Dolls' eighth album will be first in lots of fans' hearts. - Andrew Neff http://www.bangornews.com/news/templates/?a=135573 Stay True & Rock On! Triest
