Goo Goo Dolls remix, rearrange record
HOLLYWOOD - To contrary of popular belief, "greatest hits" compilations are not released when a group loses its popularity. Just ask The Goo Goo Dolls. Their compilation album, What I Learned About Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce, will be released Tuesday, May 29. According to VH1, the new record consists of 22 songs from the Goo's six studio albums, with some of the older tracks having to be completely rearranged. "We baked them in the oven to restore their resolution," bassist Robby Takac told VH1. Such is the case for the song "Two Days in February," from their 1991 album Hold Me Up. "You can hear the cars driving by in the background and the neighbors complaining. We've always wanted to redo it and get it right," he said. The new album will include bonus material, allowing fans to access vintage clips, exclusive photos and previously unreleased versions of their classics. The Goo Goo Dolls will begin the new album's U.S. promotion on May 25, when they make their eighth appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
