Title: GREAT review from the Aquarian.com

Goo Goo Dolls
Something For The Rest Of Us
Warner Bros.

A

Something For The Rest Of Us is just that, a collection of �oblique� songs (as John Rzeznik describes them) written for the world to interpret in their own unique way.

Rzeznik�s voice is in its best shape since 1998�s Dizzy Up The Girl, with more distinction and emotion than ever, and he�s retained the rare ability to articulate thoughts in few words (a Lennon-ism). Even Goo Goo Dolls founder and bassist Robby Takac�s songs are full of melody and emotion with their regular punk rock flare embedded.

It�s easy to tell that background musicians Korel Tunador (eerily good harmonies, keys, guitar, sax, etc.) and Brad Fernquist (lead guitar, mandolin, etc.) are a part of this effort, as they have consistently added extra love, talent and underlying elements to everything the Dolls have created since they joined in �06.

This album is a comforting gift from a band with a genuine conception of these times, to those struggling in everyday life: lacking money, food or a home in this poor economy, losing loved ones by natural disasters and senseless wars, and everything in between.

In A Word: Human
