Oh my, what have got here. Magnetic was an album, com,b mining happy pop-rock tunes with strong singles, feeling like a fresh Goo Goo Dolls album. Boxes is remarkably different, but not in a good way. This is what happens when you take a pop-rock sound and overproduce it to the point of everything sounding lifeless and unimaginative. The vocals sound horribly bored and the instrumentation is just a mess. But the worst part is the strange metallic layer applied on every single song ion this album. It's because of that this lacks the soul of any previous Goo Goo Dolls release. The energy, the sharper edges, the rhythms are all gone.

Over and Over is okay, but it goes downhill from there. Flood is absolutely terrible; the title track is abysmal. EDM and modern dance-pop influences loom over the entire record like a nightmare creature. Free of Me begins in a promising way, making me excited to hear at least one good song, but alas, I was hoping for too much.

I can't wrap my head around this. I usually don't mind the pop-rock sound of most contemporary rock bands, but Boxes proves to be too much even for me.
