Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days

I have some bad news

Single Review by Suzanne Mitchell | 15 Jun 2006
Single title: Better Days
Artist: Goo Goo Dolls
Label: Warner
For those of you who thought, or hoped, Goo Goo Dolls were a one hit wonder many moons ago, I have some bad news. They're back - and they're threatening to clog up our airwaves once more with their mind-numbingly bland style of 'anthemic' pop-rock. Taken from their forthcoming eighth, that's right, eighth studio album 'Let Love In', the ironically titled single Better Days hints at a certain nostalgia for their 'heyday' in 1998. Awash with pretentious lyrics and predictable riffs, it is the kind of tune that 14 year-old girls will wet themselves over. If you hated Iris, you'll abhor this. One can only pray that it doesn't enjoy the same mammoth success. [Suzanne Mitchell]
This single is out on June 5.
