Foo Fighters

Post by **bune** » Fri June 02, 2017 5:25 pm

I liked the idea of Sonic Highways, but watching the episodes and then seeing the "video" for each song with the trite lyrics right there on the screen made it so hokey.

The first three albums (especially Colour) are great. After that they're more of a "I like the singles" kind of band.

Much less so than I expected
But you've missed some pretty awful records. This new song is a big step up from Sonic Highways, and Echoes... was rubbish too.

Everything after the first three records is garbage with the exception of Wasting Light and maybe One by One. Even those two are just mostly tolerable with just a few good tracks mixed in.

Yeah there have always been those one or two songs here or there that have kept me from completely writing the band off.

That Joe Walsh solo in the Sonic Highways episode/song is so bad

Weird, I thought it was perfect for the song.

Randomly thought of the Foo Fighters song "Aurora" today, and how much I liked it. Then I looked at the tracklist for that third album and found a whole bunch of songs that I really enjoy-- "Live-in Skin", "MIA", "Generator", "Headwires". I should revisit that album. I remember it having a cool, laid-back, New Wave-y kind of sound that's unlike anything else they ever did.

I've done this more than a few times with their second album. "My Poor Brain", "See You", "Enough Space", "Up In Arms" (the solo always sounded like scene interlude music for Saved By The Bell, but in a good way.)

Listened to There is Nothing Left to Lose today. I really like about half of it, but goddamn are those drums loud.

The first album still sounds pretty great. I like the 2nd and 3rd.

About as generic as it gets, unfortunately.

Without listening to the song, I just wanna say, first impression: that is a stupid song title
