For their ninth studio album, Goo Goo Dolls guitarist Robby Takac described the album as having a darker sound during a recent interview with Alternative Addiction.“You never know how a record is going to do commercially. This record’s a little dark, but times are a little dark right now,” Takac said. “It’s about a glimmer of hope, and I feel like that really comes across on this record.”The title of the album, Something for the Rest of Us, is actually quite appropriate considering the album is inspired by the struggles that so many Americans have faced with the economic downturn in the past
