LET LOVE IN - GOO GOO DOLLS
By the stats, Goo Goo Dolls are the most popular adult top 40 act in history, and as usual, John Reznik and company deliver a comfortable fit for the format, with a midtempo pop/rock romp big on hooks and hip enough to keep moms feeling youthful. For a while there, Reznik’s DIY accord on making records had put him in a rut, but thanks to some able collaborative skills from producer Glen Ballard, the title track to the Goos’ latest album is well-crafted, plenty melodic and stands a good chance at topping the adult top 40 list. For good measure, a “rock” version is also included on the promo single, which turns up the guitars for hipper-leaning stations. It’s preferred, but either way you slice it, this mild cheddar meets the taste test. Billboard
