| 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. |

Artist/Group
| Overview |
| 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. |
