Title: Billboard review of Before It's Too Late
Post by Shannon on Jun 9^th, 2007, 12:36pm

Before It's Too Late (Sam and Mikaela's Theme)
GOO GOO DOLLS
Producer(s): Richard and the Twins
Genre: POP
Label: Warner Bros.

Adult top 40's most reliable brand, the Goo Goo Dolls, takes a side step from current CD "Let Love In" with a track from "Transformers," the live action Steven Spielberg film due July 4, based on the long-lived toy franchise. "Before It's Too Late" is the love theme for primary human characters Shia LaBeouf (Sam) and Megan Fox (Mikaela) and competently delivers a signature midtempo ballad, with a majestic airborne chorus from lead John Rzeznik and a lyric of empowerment ("Live like you mean it, love til you feel it"). Hitworthy in a hot second, albeit a typical format blue plate�conventional sustenance, sans titillating tang. �Chuck Taylor

Try using just one question mark, instead of three. Any more than one is just overkill anyway. ;)

I don't even know what half of those words mean??? Titillating??? Sustenance??? Blue plate??? And who is Sam Mikaela??? Is this a good review??? What about Fiction???

This is a mediocre review. It calls the song competent, typical, conventional and without tang (a sharp distinctive often lingering flavor). Basically, I agree. It sounds like many other songs John has written in recent years. I've heard it a few times and I can barely remember it.
