Information technology's Christmas All Over is a 2022 Christmas album from American alternative rock band Goo Goo Dolls, released on Oct 30, via Warner Records.[2] It has received mixed critical reception.

Recording and release [edit]

"Someone asked me to record a Christmas song for them for a compilation record... I had and so much fun doing it that I thought, 'Well, why don't nosotros make a whole record?'"

—John Rzeznik on beingness inspired to tape the album[1]

The band initially planned to tour in back up of 2019'south Miracle Pill through mid-2020 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, those plans were scrapped and the ring members wrote music in their homes and recorded them at a studio in Boyle Heights, finalizing the work in the band's studio GCR Audio in Buffalo, New York.[1] They fabricated a witting attempt to non tape harder rock versions of the standards, instead opting for traditional pop sounds.[3] In lieu of touring, the ring livestreamed virtual "augmented reality moving-picture show musicals" in October and December[3] that would let audience members to control the camera and watch them perform.[4]

"Let It Snow" was released for streaming,[3] followed by "This Is Christmas" in mid-October.[v]

In 2021, the ring released a "Palatial Digital Edition" [6] which included two bonus tracks: "I've Got My Love To Continue Me Warm," first included as a bonus download with purchase of the CD [7] or LP,[8] and "Ane Last Song Nearly Christmas," a new original song.

Critical reception [edit]

Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter gave this album 2.5 out of 5 stars, criticizing it for beingness bland, with some muted praise for varied musical genres and experimentation, he sums up, "the project could have been much more interesting if it rocked harder and the vocal choices didn't revert back to some obvious, and worn out standards that detect the Goo Goo Dolls doing something they never would have considered in their earliest days; playing it rubber".[9] Andy Von Pip of Under the Radar gave this anthology a five.5 out of 10, noting that "the two original self-penned songs that really practise hit the mark and hint at what might accept been" but the work is primarily padded with "pedestrian" covers and it is ultimately a "rushed tick box exercise trying to cover all festive bases but rarely striking a home run".[10]
