“Souls in the Machine” opens with a prominent bass drum, creating a bouncy and attentive beat that’s easy to get swept up in, while the rest of the song and music sweeps in like a gust of wind. It is generally fun and excitable, boasting an infectious and encouraging chorus. Rzeznik sings of “starting again” and holding onto your identity in a sea of change. The Goo Goo Dolls manage to rekindle some of their old Pop Rock soul on this track. Released on May 6th, Boxes is the eleventh studio album by the band that originated in Buffalo, New York.īoxes opens with “Over and Over,” which on March 25th, 2016 became the first single released from the album. Consisting of Johnny Rzeznik (vocals/guitar) and Robby Takac (vocals/bass), the band has featured a wide variety of touring and guest musicians over the years since its inception with Rzeznik and Takac remaining as the original founding members. The band’s latest album Boxes continues this smoother transition. Changing direction from their Rock roots, in recent years the Goo Goo Dolls have turned their musical styling more toward the Adult Contemporary genre.
