Free Music Review: The Colour and The Shape - Absolutely Breathtaking
Hit: 5 Stars
For the longest time, a fellow friend of mine had recommended the Foo Fighters to me as one of the best bands that has ever existed, that I would never get tired of them. A band that was full of energy, thought-provoking lyrics, and mind-numbing guitar riffs that took you on a ride that could only be described as "powerful".
After hearing "In Your Honor", my interest was sparked a little, but soon I.Y.H. found its spot at the back of my CD shelf, and was superceded by several albums from the early 90s (I'm a huge alt/rock fan).
One day I was watching a movie on a shady afternoon, and a song kicked in. "My goodness", I thought... "this song is awesome, I've got to figure out who it's by". As the credits rolled, the song was "My Hero" by none other than, the Foo. This brought me back to 1999, when I remembered that the Foo Fighters also came out with the song "Learn to Fly", as airplane pilots and dress ups or something along those lines. I said, yes, that's right... I liked all of these songs.
I finally got around to picking up "The Colour and The Shape" (after mucho pestering by said friend). The experience that I had been given and the ride that had been in store for me could not be described in words. I was breathless. What had I been missing out on all these years?
Instantly, I was time-warped back to the mid-to-late nineties. Back to the times when guitar-driven riffs and tear-jearking ballads were king of the airwaves. When talented songwriting and blinding hooks were more than abundant. When American Idol and Punk'd ceased to exist. I was brought back to a time of great music that I thought was buried far too deep to recover, far too lost to be found, and so forgotten that I seemed like one of the only musically-sane persons left on planet earth!
And this album did it. This album is amazing. It's loud without making your ears bleed; agressive without screaming every word (though dave may come close in Monkey Wrench, but it fits!); and production that shines and stands out. This album sounds great to boot. Gil Norton is a genius.
I have to say, even though Foo's "In Your Honor" did not impress me much, Colour&Shape brought me back the respect I always had for Foo long before I had forgotten they existed.
If you're looking for classic Foo, this is where it's at.
If you were disappointed with later albums, like IYH, this is where it's at.
If you want to take an honest, hard look at what real music lived and breathed like in the 1990s, this is where it's at.

Colour & The Shape Poster
Includes the bonus tracks Requiem, Drive Me Wild, Down In The Park, Baker St, Dear Lover and Color & Shape.A major criticism of the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut was its supposed lack of, you know, passion among the well-crafted songs and well-crafted rock. This time out, if it's wreckage you want, it's wreckage you get. The Colour & the Shape grows deeper the more it's played, with the band's ripping power more than matched by Dave Grohl's fascinating examinations of pain and divorce. There's even a convincing long slow ballad, "November Stars," whose intensity should win over doubters. If that doesn't work, then the screaming "My Hero" will. --Rickey Wright
