Title: Hopes for the new cd
Post by a_dude_named_goo on Feb 2^nd, 2005, 6:40pm

So I know there's already a post about the new cd, but what i wanted to know is what everyone would like to see from the new cd. Personally, i don't care as long as it says goo goo dolls. But i would like to see some more edgy stuff kinda like ABNG, but whatever.

I'm sure everything will be amazing, but I would like to see them experiment a little. I think they'll have more freedom working in Robby's studio. I also wouldn't mind a little harder rocking...less soft harmonies from Rzeznik, but plenty of heartfelt songwriting too! That's what we know them for!

Three words: Less is more.

I'm hoping that there will be at least a couple songs where it's just the guys playing, no extra noise, no faded in vocals, and no overproduction. Just get out the old guitars and distortion pedals like the old days and just rock... Much like HMU and ABNG...

And at least 14 songs would be nice...

boynamedgoo has good taste.

I agree with him.

A stripped down, no bs album would be amazing.

But nothing could possibliy dissappoint.

I dunno really...I liked Gutterflower alot because it was so electronic and had this fresh vibe to it.
but they still are great on instruments and more guitar solos or even bringin in a saxophone would be cool.

i think a mix of showing everything they got would make me happy.

If this is going to be the last album, only IF, then I would like to see a little bit of every phase they have gone through. A little bit of every style from every album to show how much they have evolved.
And I also agree, at least 14 tracks. 20 would be even better.
Totally agree with boy named goo, a couple of just the guys and the guitars.

if you can ever write another albums like a boy named goo that wud be awesome.i would be gd to hear a few more solos, like hammerin eggs, girl rite next to me, 7th of last month. Also id like the songs to be a bit longer, i hate the way most bands nowadays are sticking to the stupid under 4 minute radio limits. And two ass kicking acoustic songs!

Title: Re: Hopes for the new cd
Post by boynamedgoo on Feb 3^rd, 2005, 4:41pm

I thought of this today too:

Go back to the old formula of ONE (1) acoustic song on the album. It worked so well, being able to slow the pace down for a bit, but still have the entire album rock.

No one complains about ABNG, SSCW, or HMU, and they all did it. If they can come up with one great acoustic song, they should make it stick out on the album, instead of having similiar songs along with it.

But that's just my opinion...

They should release like a 20 songs CD.

More guitar solos, i.e Girl right next to me. Would like 10 songs from Johnny and 3 from Robby.

When I first heard Gutterflower I was so much in awe of 'truth is a whisper' I think its probably one of the best songs the goos have written and really shows just how good they have become. I really hope that that song is an inclination of what's to be expected from the new album. And I would love some random studio talking bits left in like they did on Hold Me Up!

AH! I was JUST about to post this! :D

I was listening to 'String of Lies' just before and I was thinking "Wouldn't it be the coolest if they did a duet on the new album? They haven't done that in a while..."

Not sure Rzeznik would go for it. Perhaps Robby could talk him into it. For old times' sake ;)

I would love to see some John and Robby duets, a little more rock( gotta love ABNG), but yet a ballad or two. I mixture of a little of everything would be nice. Something that I can just crank up in my car and jam to( not that I don't do that already ;) )

Yeah, like Hey. ;)

I'd like this album to have ballads, but not forced ballads. Rockin' solos would be good too. And Robby better have more than 3 songs, haha. 10 John and 3 Rob would be way too unbalanced. Besides, Up, Up, Up and Smashed/Tucked Away were some of the best songs on Gutterflower.

I agree with most people on this one definateley some killer guitar solos... and definateley a duet with jonny n robby ..... I also agree with 1 acoustic track to slow the pace a bit but keep rest of album hard, heart felt rock...

i wouldnt mind to hear a cover or two on the album, both american girl and give a little bit were adapted great and suited them to the ground....

We can only hope, pray and wait though..... �
its gonna be amazing, i feel it � � � ;D

I agree with monessarae on page two about what she said about a mix of every phase they've been through and at least 20 tracks.Maybe a little bit more of ABNG. that's my fav album right now.
