I think I like the third album the best

The first album for me, is pure nostalgia. Its one of a handful of albums that instantly take me back to a time/place.

More hook-y, but how can you put it above self-titled? Madness.

Turn the outside in to the inside

'Live-in Skin' is actually one of their best songs. TINTL is better than I'm giving it credit for, here. Gimme Sitches, Headwires and Aurora are all great. The singles might be the worst songs on there!

My relationship with this band is not even love/hate it's more like/meh, yet I have most albums save for ESPG,and to be honest I liked the last album quite a bit, but my go to Foos album would be TINLTL, and even that would not be in my long list of top ten albums.

Next Year is such a nostalgia track for me

THA SKYYYEEE IZ A NEIGHBORHOOD!!!

just saw their SNL performance. The new song is soooo boring. Backup singers? jeeeesus.

Times Like These was better, but they should have just rock out that one.

Also, three guitars, keyboards, backup singer...and it all sounds so one note...

That was bad and why does he chew gum when he plays and why must he always scream LETS GO!

I don't even think Pat is playing anything half the time

I think the fourth album is when they completely ran out of ideas. There are two or three good songs there, and then everything since has been utter blandness and a lot of repetition

yeah he is kinda dancing the whole time. No solos, no fucking anything.

The Pretender was a good song

I hate that one. I do like Wasting Light. Thats the last thing i really cared from them.
