[SFenton]

Man, both Foo AND QotSA passing over Seattle for shows

 

[show me your skeleton]

man this album is quiet.

 

[stressboy]

Looking forward to listening to this on my drive home later.

Have tickets to see them in Eugene in December. Can't wait! They are awesome live.

 

[GetSomeSponge]

After listening through I really miss old Foo Fighters, their last great album for me was Wasting Light. I have no desire to listen to this album again which is kind of sad.

 

[youbastards]

They're so formulaic, and safe. Boring.

I mean, they're no "horse playing a saxophone" if that's your idea of not being formulaic and safe...

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Can't wait to listen!

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

HOLY SHIT at "Make It Right."

This album is damn good.

 

[acevans2]

Anyone get tickets for one of the tour stops? Richmond show sold out instantly and the floor tickets have been price gouged out of this world since. I've never seen a show I wanted to go to have a higher barrier to entry.

 

[Takamura-San]

Fan of the Foo's for a while. Can't wait to give it a listen.

From Dad to Dadiest rock, what is the scale on this album?

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Got it on Google play music can't wait for the drive home!

I sent "Make It Right" to my 56-year-old dad and he replied, "Holy crap!"

That's hella dad!

 

[AgentOtaku]

Agree that their last great album was def Wasting Light

Didn't care for Sonic Highways... looking forward to this tho!

 

[31GhostsIV]

Doesn't do much for me, but since TCATS i've enjoyed a few songs but the albums have been mostly meh.

I prefer my Grohl served behind a drum kit.

You miss the old Foo Fighters, while you think that their seventh album out of their nine now released is great? With that seventh album being released six years ago, when they have been a band for 22 years.

Wasting Light and this album is pretty similiar in style as well.

 

[Strain]

Maybe my taste has changed but, I just can't get into anything FF have put out after Wasting Light.

 

[Vanillalite]

Wasting Light seemed like a breath of fresh air (IMO) because it was the first official album where Pat was back for recording.

Felt like since then it's just been Foo on cruse.

Not bad. Just boring.

 

[Sora the Cat]

After a few listens.. yes, this is the best record they've done in a very long time. Really solid.

 

[RionaaM]

Just listened to the album. I didn't like it much. and it makes me sad. Found it boring, and none of the songs blew my mind or anything. Not that it's bad, but it's plain and kinda generic. Not even the title track, which has been said by several people to sound like Pink Floyd, was particularly good.

I hope my opinion changes after a few repeated listens. So far, my opinion is negative, and to me it ranks among disc 1 of In Your Honor as the worst FF album.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

This is fantastic. I don't understand how people say this is generic... Of course it sounds like foos but there is a lot of deviation from past records

 

[itwasTuesday]

Whelp, starting 1st listen now.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Dave Grohl is the coolest you guys.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

The sky is a neighborhood is so good!

 

[DrEvil]

Happy ever after is such a pleasantly morbid song.
It's like bizarro Beatles.



A lot of this album gives me a pink Floyd vibe too.

 

[itwasTuesday]

ughhhhhhh, not really feeling this. It's slow, but still.
Skin & Bones is one of my favorite live albums/concerts. Just to say I love slow.

 

[Cmerrill]

An amazing interview between Dave Grohl & Lars Ulrich.

[CecilRousso]

No idea how anyone can say that Dirty Water is generic or safe. It's like one of the best recent rock songs.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

No idea how anyone can say that Dirty Water is generic or safe. It's like one of the best rock songs made.

People go into it ready to call something stale. Their mind is already made up

 

[unpopularblargh]

I liked it. Not as good as Wasting Light but better than Sonic Highways. Overall a way more quieter album than most of their discography imo.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

La Dee Da is ear sex.

 

[Doodis]

As much as I love Foo Fighters, count me in the group that thinks their last great work was Wasting Light. Sonic Highways was ok—felt more like a vanity project with the documentary series, but still okay.

This album just feels tepid to me. Reminds me of In Your Honor. A couple great songs, and way too much filler. Had to return to the new Queens of the Stone Age album to listen to great music all the way through.

 

[Jules]

Saw Foo tonight in Knoxville, TN and I'll just tell ya, if they're close GO! They played for three hours nonstop! Awesome show!! Sang a lot of the new songs and Taylor sang Sunday Rain with his drums on an elevated platform. SO good!

Going to the Des Moines show in early November and can't fucking wait. Foo always puts on a great show.
