Audio Remixer: Paul David Hager. When the Goo Goo Dolls achieved commercial popularity in the late 1990s on the strength of their radio-ready power ballads, they fell from favor with some of their longtime fans who relished their raucous hard-rock beginnings. GOO GOO DOLLS VOL. 2 seeks to correct that imbalance by focusing on the Dolls' more muscular material. This is not to say that the 22-track set culls from the band's early albums; instead, it draws on the amped-up rockers from the group's major-label years, including "Hate This Place," "Stop the World," several B-sides and covers (including the Soft Boys' "I Wanna Destroy You" and Tom Petty's "American Girl"), and even an acoustic demo of "Iris," one of the band's biggest hits.
The angst-ridden alt-rock that bands like Nirvana popularized in the early-1990s eventually branched off into a softer, more mature sound with such groups as the Goo Goo Dolls. Formed in Buffalo, New York in the 1980s, as raw and rowdy Replacements-style rockers, Johnny Rzeznik and company hit paydirt a decade later with the pop ballads "Name" and "Iris." They would remain steady hitmakers for over a decade.
