Let Love In
Let Love In is the eighth studio album by the Goo Goo Dolls, released on 25 April 2006 through Warner Bros. Records. It came after Gutterflower in 2002 and before Something for the Rest of Us in 2010, and it sits in the stretch of the band's career where their melodic, radio-friendly side was most firmly in charge. The genre tags tell the story: alternative rock, pop rock and soft rock, with a rock core underneath.
It did well for them in America, reaching number nine on the Billboard 200 and selling around 83,000 copies in its first week. The Recording Industry Association of America certified it Gold in May 2019 for 500,000 units. If you know the band mainly from the late-90s run of Dizzy Up the Girl, this is a good place to hear where they went next.
