Data Insight
Gutterflower follows the blockbuster Dizzy Up the Girl with the same split: John Rzeznik writes the singles "Here Is Gone" and "Big Machine," while Robby Takac contributes several of his own rockers. Rob Cavallo again produced. It went Gold rather than multi-Platinum, a step down commercially but a continuation of the band's polished alternative rock.
