A very solid album

"The Foo Fighters are not the best band in the world. In fact, they don't even make the top 20 bands from the 90s in my opinion, BUT they do occasionally come up with some solid rock music that can get me through when I'm bored of listening to the "classics."

I haven't heard the last couple of Foo Fighters albums, but this is the best one I've listened to. Everlong is a really good song, and My Hero is another. If this was a tribute to Kurt Cobain, it was a pretty good one.

I've tried to like this for 13 years

"Except for "Everlong," most of the music here just doesn't stick in your head. It all sounds the same: ferocious guitars, pounding drums, urgent vocals. And yet, no tunes. "Everlong," though, is a beaut."

Good, not great

"I just bought this album again. I owned it many years ago but lost it when some one broke into my car. I always meant to pick it up again, I had memories of it being a great CD and finding it re-released with bonus songs was a pleasant surprise.



Maybe getting older has helped me appreciate things I once did not have time for, but it has also changed my perspective on a lot of things I enjoyed in my youth. This CD, as with Foo Fighters in general, is only OK, and overrated by many. They have a few hits and singles, but so much of their music is so easily forgettable. I've had all their newer CD's to listen to on our network at work and have never been able to really go through a whole CD. Now going back to this one I can see it was just not as great as I remember. I hate buying single songs, I enjoy owning a whole CD. But if you really do know and enjoy 1 or 2 songs on this CD, just buy the mp3's."
