Blog News: Silence before the storm?

Dear Temple Of Goo readers,

I would like to apologize about the recent lack of updates and material. Well, not so recent I should day, as this phenomenon has been going on for several weeks now. In December I wrote about it and detailed the reasons why it is happening. The life of an Old Goo Eras fan is tough indeed.

I’ve been trying to spice things up for a while now, by presenting to the audience some small side projects mainly involving AI. As of late I began publishing AI-Generated Instrumentals of Goo Goo Dolls albums, but I had to put that one initiative back in the drawer as I lost access to the most recent models for that purpose. I did “Superstar Car Wash” and “A Boy Named Goo” before the developers of those models took them offline for fixing purposes. Hopefully they will be back soon, and better than before.

As far as actual, pure Goo Goo Dolls material, nothing new under the sun. All of my sources tell me there is nothing new nor old to share, and the scene is basically dormant. Rest assured, as soon as I get my hands on something, it will be posted here.

Is this the silence before the storm? I sure hope so. The blog has been pushing out content almost on a daily basis for two and a half years, up until the end of 2024. Maybe it reached its peak and from now on it’s all downhill, or maybe not.

We shall see.

In the meantime, we await for the band to announce their new studio album, which I suspect has been postponed until late 2025, if not until sometime next year. Why do I think that? Because they just recently decided to release a 30th Anniversary Edition of their fifth album this March. We knew both John and Robby hinted and the new full length to be out before the 2025 Summer Tour (they were likely indicating May or June as possible release windows), however, from a commercial perspective, having two albums out a few weeks apart is never recommended.

Let’s see what happens. I hope I’m wrong.
