The band's landmark rock album, "Iris," took the US by storm.
This album, which includes hits such as "Iris," the theme song for the film "City of Angels," and "Slide," combines powerful melodies with sophisticated guitar sounds, and is a key work that helped the band achieve global success.
Considered the Goo Goo Dolls' greatest success, this album skyrocketed the band's profile thanks to the overwhelming support of "Iris." The song, which topped the Billboard airplay chart for 18 consecutive weeks, is centered around the texture of John Rzeznik's voice and expansive acoustic-driven arrangements, serving as a symbolic element of the album's overall direction. Singles like "Slide" and "Black Balloon" feature smooth, curvaceous guitar lines, striking a structure that combines rock momentum with easy-listening vocals. Melodies that combine melancholy and clarity permeate the album, elevating it to a universal level that transcends the boundaries of alternative rock at the time.
