The Foo Fighters - Wasting Light

[Automaticchaos]

I really like this album. I think it's their best since the Color and Shape. I've heard that Kris Novelselvic(Or however you spell it) joined the band. Anyone know if he's a permanent member?

Nope he only guested on a couple of songs I think. Pat Smear is back in the band full-time though.

I'm not even going to bother with this album, I got their last two albums on release and I think I only listened to them twice each. They're a great band live but on record they just sound painfully average. The Colour And The Shape is the only album I can really enjoy.

^^I enjoyed There is Nothing Left to Lose and For Your Honor tremendously

My favorite album is actually their debut. There is just something about it that keeps me coming to it whenever I feel like the Foo Fighters. I also don't know why One By One gets a bad rap, because I actually find it to be a close second.

That being said, I stopped checking out their new albums after In Your Honor. There was some great stuff on there, and the acoustic album had some really great moments, but I just couldn't be bothered anymore. I doubt I will check this album out, especially after reading the responses on here. If I want cookie cutter Foo Fighters I'll grab the Colour and the Shape or There Is Nothing Left to Lose. Their statement as musicians has been made, imo.

just got it

can't say I'm very impressed though the piece of the reel master tape is a nice memento

Yeah that song is included in the first four tracks which are the best on the album imo and then it dips down to average in the middle and finishes up with a good song.

There is also a Deadmau5 remix of rope on it.

I gave it "okay". I was really surprised by White Limo but it's mostly just more Foo Fighters and nothing that really sticks in my head. But i can hear Hollywood Undead "Hear Me Now" or Cage the Elephant "Shake me Down" and that really sticks and kicks. I like that those bands try new things and make them work.

I've never been much of a foo fighters fan.
In the earlier years (the 'learn to fly'-time) I thought they were a bit too boybandish. Later they became to screamy. I actually think they've found a nice mix now. I like the recording too. Very 'honest'. I think this might be the first FF album I will actually buy.

It's "okay"
I fell in love with their debut, and wasn't a big fan of them after that. Not that I think they're bad or anything. Actualy I liked a few songs on this album, but they didn't exactly make me go "wow".

Self-Titled will always be their best album, followed by TC&TS... even though that one was the start of the boring arena rock stuff they would go on to do.

I am not huge on Foo Fighters, I think even the best songs they did were not even as good as the worst Nirvana songs.

This album from what I have hears has been average, much like everything they have done really.

I think Foo Fighters have become too boring for their own good.
