Free Music Notes for In Your Honor
Free Music Review: Grunge album sparks copy-protection controversy
Hit: 5 Stars
Technically, I should have given this album a one-star rating, because the single CD version is copy-protected. This means that no one can copy the music files onto their computer.
However, I think this album alone was also part of a huge revolution in the music industry, where music nuts started to move to the Internet to download music.
This is also one of the best albums that the Foo Fighters ever made. It includes some of their greatest hits, including "Best of You" and "D.O.A." If people hadn't fallen in love with the Foo Fighters before, "In Your Honor" completely changed their minds with grandiose chord progressions, edgy staccato chords and catchy lyrics.
The album is divided into two halves, reflecting the two different sides of Dave Grohl's band. The first CD includes most of the band's loud power chord songs. The second CD focuses on their subtler acoustic sound.
Both halves make for an intriguing look at how grunge music has changed from the old days of Nirvana.
Although this album sparked a load of controversy over the problems of music piracy, it also provoked many people to switch to the Internet as their source of music. For once, this was one of the only albums that people could only find in mp3 form over the Internet.
It was an intentional move that shifted the tide of the music industry. In fact, the band released an album after this one, completely devoid of copy protection. People hated the band, but this CD actually gave them a much edgier persona in a slowly developing indie music scene.
Certainly, "In Your Honor" is hard to recommend based on the firestorm it caused about Internet piracy. However, it's worth buying as an unusual icon of the late 2000s. It's one of the few copy protected albums that you are completely unable to listen to on the iTunes application.
Don't worry--the Dual Disc version doesn't have copy protection on it.
In Your Honor Poster
The DVD side of disc one contains a ?making of the album? documentary video and an enhanced stereo version of disc one. The DVD side of disc two features a hi-res DVD audio surround sound version of disc two.It?s likely that a decade after its debut record this band now has fans who might ask, "You mean Dave Grohl was in a band before the Foo Fighters?" But they, or any Foo followers who pine for the increasingly refined vocals and polished pop-punk uniformity of the first four albums, will swallow this one whole--or at least half. For as much as vocalist/bandleader Grohl and Co. mix a similar concoction on the 20-song double CD, they manage to agitate the formula ever so slightly. Disc one follows the Foo?s classic sonic blueprint: lip-smacking melodies and enigmatic lyrics, double-barrel guitars and drums that attack. But songs take a gentle turn on the second CD, showcasing Grohl?s underrated vocals amidst a high-energy ensemble of acoustic guitars, piano and mandolin (by studio guest John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin). Singing, not shouting, Grohl flips potential teen-rock anthems like "Miracle" and "Cold Day in the Sun" (with drummer Taylor Hawkins handling lead vocals) into impending adult-oriented radio staples and, 11 years after Nirvana, the Foo Fighters may finally have their triumph. --Scott Holter
