ALBUM REVIEW
GOO GOO DOLLS
BOXES
THIS is album number 11 from the American duo and it's not lacking in the stadium anthems the dolls are so well know for.
Boxes, about the pull of families wherever we may be in our life, is one to rival Iris.
But it's not all about sentiment, the album opener Over and Over is a pulsing, energetic number, proof that the dolls have got a fresher sound.
New territory is ventured into with Echosmith lead singer Sydney Sierota guesting on Flood.
Those who pine for the days of retro pop rock when Matchbox Twenty were popular and Iris was used on what seems like every American TV show will love this album.
What Boxes is lacking in originality is made up for in Boxes' radio-ready formula.
