Free Music Review: Foo Fighters Rock
Hit: 4 Stars
As per ususal great - I am a long time fan and this met my expectations and beyond - well worth buying.Free Music Review: Ground breaking album!
Hit: 5 Stars
Having never been much of a FF fan I was skeptical about buying the whole album. I had heard "The Pretender" and "Long Road To Ruin" so with 2 really good songs at least, I took a chance. Now it's my current favorite album and one that I'm positive I'll keep in my collection forever. After listening to it I have went and ordered all of their previous work in an attempt to find out....WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSIN'? Not many bands or musicians release albums like this anymore. Over the years there have been VERY few bands/musicians that you could rely on to deliver great albums over and over. With Foo Fighters history and credibility being a major factor (how many grammy's have they won now?), I'm curious to see what the future holds for these guys. When they release this album's follow up....I WILL PAY ATTENTION!! Free Music Review: 4-1/2 stars -- Why do Dave and the boys keep winning Grammys? Well, I'll tell you...
Hit: 4 Stars
Foo Fighters decided to cement their ten-year history with In Your Honor back in 2005, and although that album was good, it was still the first album from them that I gave less than a four-star rating to (I gave it a three-and-a-half). Now they're back with Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.
This album illustrates another case where although I like the first single (which also becomes a hit), what I like more is the second single that DOESN'T become a hit -- in other words, my favorite song on the album is "Long Road to Ruin". But "The Pretender" is still damn good, as are "Let It Die" and "Come Alive". This album is also pretty divided, as the more energetic tracks are on the first half of the album (with the exception of "Once & for All", which I think is only on the digital version) while the mellow songs are on the second half. Fortunately, while the songs on the second (acoustic) disc of In Your Honor were so similar that it sounded like an hour of the same song, the production in THIS case is more varied, as "Summer's End", "Home" (the song that inspired the album's title) and "Statues" easily stand out.
Maybe Foo Fighters should work with Gil Norton more often because although they have never made a bad album, Gil was also present on their best album The Colour & the Shape, and this album is right up there with that one. Pick it up if you haven't already.

Free Music Review: to be a fighter of foo
Hit: 3 Stars
people. i have been a long time foo fan. love the foo. big fan of the foo.
lets face it. ever since in your honor they have changed. understandable.
daves getting older. i hate to sound like one of those people, but if
you compare espag to the first four foo albums. its no contest. echoes
is just fair. it was dissapointing honestly. i knew it too. i mean, cheer
up boys your makeup is running? does that sound like a foo fighters song? i will say this. there are a few songs that are very good. erase/replace.
stranger things have happened. in fact the latter, very good song. and overall its got some pretty good moments. i just got to say it was alright. the majority of the album is acoustic. you know, thats ok. but i have always been a fan of the harder foo. the color and the shape is hard. the first album. weenie beenie. i mean come on. that song is a freaking heartattack. the first two foo albums kick a$$. and the next two are really good too. this album doesnt kick any a$$. once
again i understand daves getting older. i remember an interview from the
'theres nothing left to lose' period, and dave saying, they as a band
wanted to calm down. but the majority of their songs that made it on
this album and the last aren't overall excellent or as good as it used to be. and the lyrics too are getting a little weak too. i will mention a b-side 'bangin' off the pretender vinyl single. very good. very catchy. so
wtf? a b-side is great? thats the thing. a few in your honor b-sides
were really good too like skin and bones. that should have been on the
album. but it wasnt. because there wasn't 9 other songs like that. they were like best of you and everything else on in your honor. which you know, that wasn't a bad album. the good songs are becoming b-sides and the
medicore stuff is getting on albums. it used to be the great stuff got on albums and then the b-sides were cool too. some more than others of course. dissapointing. espag isnt awful. its just ok. and for a longtime fan such as myself, their losing it a little bit. its still the foo.
but its different. its not the same and its not better. ive heard people
say this is the best foo album. are you insane? you cant compare this to
colour and the shape. colour and the shape blows this album out of the
freaking water! im sorry. i still love the foo. they always have been and always will be one of my favorite bands.

First time with the Foo Fighters. Rating a record as average. Blood didn't surge and toes didn't tap.
