MUSIC NEWS - One of rock’s (and our) most beloved and enduring bands, Goo Goo Dolls, have announced plans to release their ninth studio album, SOMETHING FOR THE REST OF US, on August 31, 2010 (via Warner Bros Records). The new album is the follow up to their 2006 release, Let Love In, which marked the Goo Goo Dolls’ 20th anniversary as a band. The new set will feature the band’s new single, “Home”, which is getting solid radio airplay. You'll be able buy your digital copy of Home
Something... was produced by Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, David Bowie) with additional production work by Butch Vig (Green Day, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, etc.), John Fields (Paul Westerberg, Jimmy Eat World) and the Goo Goo Dolls. The result of their efforts shows a more of the well-crafted songs and timeless lyrics that have been such an important part of the Goo Goo Dolls' ongoing success. Written and recorded over the past couple of years, SOMETHING FOR THE REST OF US gives another dose of emotionally-charged, well-crafted rock songs such as “Sweetest Lie,” “One Night,” and “Soldier.”
With his songwriting, Rzeznik confronts some of the issues that have become part of many people’s everyday lives; “I wanted some of the material on this album to address the disillusionment of the difficult period we live in; I wanted to give a voice to the emotional uncertainty that accompanies hard times. “So many people are struggling to keep it together through tough economic conditions and two wars that seem to have no end in sight. The ones who bear the brunt of these burdens are everyday people. That’s who I want to speak to.”
The track-listing for SOMETHING FOR THE REST OF US is:
“Sweetest Lie”
“As I Am”
“Home”
“Notbroken”
“One Night”
“Nothing Is Real”
“Now I Hear”
“Still Your Song”
“Something For The Rest Of Us”
“Say You’re Free”
“Hey Ya”
“Soldier”
