It quickly becomes a more honest kind of simplified Rock / nostalgia song as opposed to a pure Pop song. The hollow and echoic vocal effects create a kind of depth that makes the song feel more encompassing and whole than straight delivery alone.
“The Pin” begins with a simple and honest acoustic and develops into more open orchestration.
Her silky and melodic accompaniment to Rzeznik’s gristly vocals brings a beautiful balance to this song that distinguishes it from others on the record. “Flood” continues this trend of catchy beats and features the petal soft vocals of Sydney Sierota of Echosmith. The rhythm and anthemic qualities of this song compel the listener to clap and stomp along as the percussion and strings dance across the track. “Souls in the Machine” opens with a prominent bass drum, creating a bouncy and attentive beat that’s easy to get swept up in, while the rest of the song and music sweeps in like a gust of wind. It is generally fun and excitable, boasting an infectious and encouraging chorus. Rzeznik sings of “starting again” and holding onto your identity in a sea of change. The Goo Goo Dolls manage to rekindle some of their old Pop Rock soul on this track. Released on May 6th, Boxes is the eleventh studio album by the band that originated in Buffalo, New York.īoxes opens with “Over and Over,” which on March 25th, 2016 became the first single released from the album. Consisting of Johnny Rzeznik (vocals/guitar) and Robby Takac (vocals/bass), the band has featured a wide variety of touring and guest musicians over the years since its inception with Rzeznik and Takac remaining as the original founding members. The band’s latest album Boxes continues this smoother transition. Changing direction from their Rock roots, in recent years the Goo Goo Dolls have turned their musical styling more toward the Adult Contemporary genre.
