Editorial Review: From Amazon.com: In 1997, Foo Fighters teamed with alt-rock production cornerstone Gil Norton to make their best album, The Colour and the Shape. Ten years later, they've regrouped with Norton for a disc that's more sophisticated and diverse, if a tad less rockin'. The curveballs include "Stranger Things Have Happened," a solo soul-searcher where leader Dave Grohl's accompanied by just his acoustic guitar and a ticking metronome, and "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners," an acoustic guitar duet for Grohl and guest virtuoso Kaki King. Plus "Summers End" tickles the Foos' classic-rock fetish with a dead-on Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young arrangement. There's still enough of the intense, snarling power-pop that's Foo Fighters' longtime forte. "The Pretender," "Erase/Replace," and "Long Road to Ruin" combine sheer thrust, zeal, and melody like no other group currently on the charts. Yet the finale, "Home," makes its clear that this is a changed band--or, at least, that Grohl's a changed man. With only his piano for company, Grohl's pleading voice reveals fragile layers of insecurity and loneliness as he sings "all I want is to be home." Seems this rock & roll road warrior's mellowed some, albeit without compromising Foo Fighters' vitality. --Ted Drozdowski Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Excellence in one small package...This is the journeyman's album. Play it in your car and drive - you'll understand why. It's reflective, honest, haunting and beautiful. "The Pretender," their first single off the CD is defiant and classic Foo. Each song progressively pulls you in, but I have to say my ultimate favorite is the second song on the disk, "Let It Die". There's a subtle show-stopper quality to it that keeps bringing me back. All in all, a fantastic album that deserves to be on everyone's shelf. You'll be able to listen to it again and again and never get bored. Rating: - I'm a fan now!So we all know that the Foo Fighters have been around for a while now but it doesn't mean I've been a fan since they first came into the music scene. I've listen to a couple of the Foo's older albums and they haven't grabbed my attention like this new album has. With past albums, I'd give it a spin and that was the end of it. Basically, I wasn't a fan. Enter Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. WOW! Track after track this album proves to be not just a good Foo Fighters album, but a great album in itself! I was very surprised that the album was so good that it's one of the most played albums on my ipod. Tracks to look out for: The Pretender, Summer's End, The Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners..JUST TO ... Read More: |
