Something for the Rest of Us

Goo Goo Dolls

A somber, mid-tempo collection of piano-flecked rock anthems. Polished production meets weathered vocals to explore the anxieties of the modern American middle class.

It's the Goo Goo Dolls' 'grown-up' record, full of heavy-hearted anthems for when life gets a bit too real.

A heavy, twilight-hued reflection on resilience and the quiet anxieties of adulthood.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the somber piano intro to the driving, hopeful chorus of Notbroken.
The title track's slow-burn build that culminates in a dense, layered wall of guitars and strings.
The raw, stripped-back vulnerability of the acoustic version of Home that closes the record.
