    Lyrically this album is uncreative and repeative. Seems to me the person or persons who wrote these lyrics should spend some time with a good therapist in an effort to gain some insight on how to resolve their issues concerning love and relationships. Then maybe they would really be able to let love in.

    Horrible. I've been a GGD fan for years and the magazine reviews above are right on. It's as if they forgot how to play rock music. They're producer should be fired.

    This album is bad...even by the Goo Goo Doll's standards. Instead of even trying to woo the musical godess, they just sat there and masturbated out some music. Absolutely dissapointed in it.

    If you like this cd, you never liked the GGD's. One size fits all approach that is flat overproduced and lazy. I love songs like NAME, Black Ballon, and Iris, so its not a ballad issue. Hey Johnny where are the guitars tracks??????????? Fire the orchestra keyoard guy, and get back to basics! Its a sad day in Buffalo! I can listen to it but I'm pushing myself.

    I can't believe this is from the same band that brought us the immense Superstar Carwash & Boy Named Goo - it's truely awful, full of lazy overblown, soft rock cop outs, like they have taken Iris and Name and put them in a blender - Robby Takac must be really cheesed off that his band have sunk so low - and by the way, the GGD's are my fav band ever, so this album hurts.

    Unlike its predecessor, there isn't much to dig into here; what you hear upon that first listen is exactly what you get.

    Has its moments, but it comes across as a baby step forward.

    Only one song exhibits any nuance or creativity--a cover of Supertramp's 1977 lark "Give a Little Bit." [May 2006, p.106]
