Critical reception

The Digital Journal's, Markos Papadatos says of the Goo Goo Dolls, "Overall, the Goo Goo Dolls gave Long Island, New York, a night of acoustic, rock and adult contemporary music to remember. It is no wonder that they have been around for well over two decades and they have always managed to stay relevant despite the changes in the music industry." [5]

Sophia June of the Daily Emerald says, "Upon the first glance, the nights lineup seemed a bit random-like creating an unconventional meal out of the last ingredients in your pantry. I wasn't convinced the three bands had much cohesion until the Goo Goo Dolls third song-"Slide". Goo Goo Dolls are a blending of the melodic, harmony-laden romantic Plain White T's and the rock energy and driving electric guitar of Daughtry." [6]

John Serba from M. Live gave the show 2½ stars out of 4, and said that he felt like Daughtry sounded generic and that the Goo Goo Dolls "ring true". About Daughtry he said that they were "skirting the edge of aggro-rock at times – the type of sound that might benefit from a more dynamic light show than what nature provides on a mild summer evening. Although the crowd responded with more enthusiasm to songs such as "Over You", "It's Not Over" and "Battleships", Daughtry's set sometimes lacked punch". For the Goo Goo Dolls, a highlight is when they performed "Rebel Beat". When comparing the two bands, Daughtry is stronger at singing and the Good Goo Dolls are stronger at songwriting. [3]

Sioux City Journal 's Bruce R. Miller said, "While the two acts couldn't have been more dissimilar, they helped show just how far that "rock" label can stretch", "Daughtry followed a more familiar path, Goo Goo Dolls went an alternate route." The showmanship between the two was also different. When Goo Goo Dolls bass player Robby Takac took over on lead vocals on a few songs he didn't receive the same reaction as John Rzeznik did. [4]

A single had been originally slated to be released in November 2009 with an album release in February 2010, but the band went back into the studio in January 2010. According to lead singer and guitarist John Rzeznik, this was done to make further improvements on what they had previously thought had been a finished record. Several producers were brought in to assist on the production process, including Butch Vig, John Fields, Paul David Hager and Rob Cavallo. Something for the Rest of Us is the third Goo Goo Dolls studio album that Cavallo has produced. When asked about the length of time between albums, Rzeznik admitted it was a mix of songwriting issues as well as taking time out for personal reasons; "I wanted to really dig deep and there are a million songs I threw away, like, “Nah, it's not good enough. I wanna do something different. I wanna do something better, go deeper. I also wanted to have a life with my girlfriend for a while. I owed it to her to spend some time with her and be normal and be in one place. That was kind of important." In one of the Ustream sessions, Robby revealed that the album would have twelve songs and "Real" is not among them. In late May, John announced that "Home" would be the first single and was released onto radio and iTunes stores on June 8, 2010.
