Title: Billboard review of single LLI
Post by Shannon on Nov 11^th, 2006, 9:27am

ARTIST: GOO GOO DOLLS

SINGLE: LET LOVE IN

By the stats, Goo Goo Dolls are the most popular adult top 40 act in history, and as usual, John Reznik and company deliver a comfortable fit for the format, with a midtempo pop/rock romp big on hooks and hip enough to keep moms feeling youthful. For a while there, Reznik's DIY accord on making records had put him in a rut, but thanks to some able collaborative skills from producer Glen Ballard, the title track to the Goos' latest album is well-crafted, plenty melodic and stands a good chance at topping the adult top 40 list. For good measure, a "rock" version is also included on the promo single, which turns up the guitars for hipper-leaning stations. It's preferred, but either way you slice it, this mild cheddar meets the taste test.

....of course Rzeznik is spelled wrong.

Is this to say that the writer believes this song is bland and cheesy?
:P
