7/7/13 - Magnetic

Admittedly, I don't consider myself a big fan of The Goo Goo Dolls but I have respect for them. Iris is one of the best songs in history and I have some of their previous albums. They have been in the industry for so long which is why it was nice to hear they are coming up with a new album this year called Magnetic. I don't expect much from it aside from a smooth and casual listening of alternative music but this album was a sweet surprise.

Despite their seniority, not necessarily enough to call them grandfathers but still, veterans if I should say, their new music seems to fit more with the younger crowd.

Starting off this album is their first single, Rebel Beat which was a good jumpstart to the album as its positive vibe is a perfect album opener and remind everyone that they still imbibe a youthful charm.

They didn't stop the energy there as songs like When The World Breaks Your Heart, Come To Me and Caught In The Storm and many more will keep you engaged with its lively rhythm all throughout the album. Of course, there are still songs with a slower tempo to keep you in pace with the album such as BulletproofAngel and a midtempo, Happiest of Days.

My only problem with the album is that most of them sound the same and they are quite forgettable in the long run. But if you are looking for a sweet delight to listen to in the middle of summer, go ahead and listen to this album.
