Dizzy up the Girl Reviews:
Kurva Kurvos 
2002-11-09 - Here's a trick trivia question. Q: Where are the members of Goo Goo Dolls from? A: Buffalo, New York, not Minneapolis. It's easy to get mixed up; the band sounds so much like late-period Replacements, you'd think it came from the same scene, if not the same womb. It's easy to bash Goo Goo Dolls based on those well-publicized similarities, but the band's albums have been far more consistent than Paul Westerberg's in recent years. Dominated by jangly guitars and bloated, shimmery choruses, albums like A Boy Named Goo (with its smash ballad, "Name") and the new Dizzy Up The Girl (with its smash ballad, "Iris," from the City Of Angels soundtrack) are stocked from beginning to end with catchy radio singles. Like its predecessor, Dizzy Up The Girl will likely yield multiple hits, from the "Iris"-style ballad "Black Balloon" to such glossy verse-chorus-verse rockers as "Dizzy," "Slide," "Bullet Proof," and "All Eyes On Me." As always, the new record (the band's sixth) is weaker on the three tracks featuring lead vocals by raspy-voiced bassist Robby Takac ("January Friend," "Amigone," "Full Forever") than on the songs built around earnest frontman John Rzeznik. But there's enough anthemic polish on Dizzy Up The Girl to keep it consistently suitable for long-term car-radio airplay.
The Goo Goo Dolls Are Forever!!! 
1999-10-16 - I've loved the Goo Goo Dolls for years, ever since their punk beginings in Buffalo. Never has John, Robby, and Mike sounded any better. There's no mistaking these guys for bubblegum music makers- they're serious rockers!!!
Goo Goo Dolls Rock!
1999-09-30 - It took me like two years listening to the radio to find out who even sang songs like "iris", "slide", and "black balloon". I found out a lot more about the GGD since I first found out about them. I also think John has a better voice than Robby, but maybe I haven't listened to it enough.
The Best Rock Band I Have Ever Heard
1999-09-03 - I bought this cd with low expectations. After hearing all the songs, I was overwhelmed by this band. Why would anyone want to buy crap like Sugar ray and matchbox 20 when youve got this?? They also may seem like a sissy band, some of their songs are actually moderately hard. All the songs rock, except maybe for Acoustic #3.
Buy it!! And don't call it a trend!
1999-07-28 - The Goo-Goo Dolls are unique and very intelligent, with a sarcastic twirl. Don't listen to the people on the board that have negative things to say about those who buy it for a few songs, for they were once like that, for the Goo-Goo Dolls! Buy it and be prepared to skip a few times till you fall in love with the enchanting Cd "Dizzy up the Girl".
