Things I learned on a first listen of Dizzy Up the Girl:

  • This has most of their big hits, with the exception of Name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQOBUrRaPU0
  • The Goo Goo Dolls had been around for a decade before this album broke big.
  • They are still actively making albums today!
  • There's another singer in the band, who must be pissed none of his songs made the radio.
  • A lot of those "other singer" songs are really pop-punk sounding.
I went into this thinking, for the larger group of rankers, this might end up in that So Long Astoria tier of "fine but nothing special". Now, I don't think that'll necessarily be the case because the singles here are very strong, and they'll anchor this one further up. But it caught me completely off guard when Singer #2 had 4-5 songs on this album. Had NO idea!

Also, ever since this album got selected, I've had Broadway ear worming in my head, so nice to finally listen to it again for the first time in a long while.
