Anyone got the new Foo Fighters album yet? What are your thoughts? It came out yesterday; I'm going to get it tommorow.
The first single from it "Best Of You," is quite good.

Dave Grohl is a damn fine drummer, i love how hard he smashes that kit, but drummers should NEVER be allowed to write lyrics. Maybe they could occasional let out a death metal growl, or a nice oooh ahh but even Meg Whites lyrics kinda suck- "And I know that you feel it too/When my skin turns into glue" mmm anyways....

dude that song is old & isn't really meant to be about anything, look at the words of WeenieBeenie or Wattershed, not much sence there either. But I don't listen to music just for the lyrics

Grohl has become more than just a drummer.
He is now this hero of American rock and more, Uncle Dave with his cheeky grin, everybody's favourite guest band member and by all accounts an amiable dude.
Obviously, his drumming is the shit, and as Foo frontman he has mastered a somewhat formulaic kind of FM rock for the everyman.
The videos are good, the songs are alright, the album's consistent, but it's hard to call them a truly great band

I find it sort of disappointing, after songs like "One by One" that he's gone back to like big radio rock songs. That was a killer song. That whole album was so much darker - maybe it had something to do with the fact that he was working with QOTSA around that time? Definitely his best work after Nirvana. this latest album pretty mcuh sucks as far as I can tell from the few songs I've heard. Rock by numbers.

Leave Meg outa this, pendejo!
And I think they were Jack's lyric's, but leave him outa this too.

I remember a friend describing them as the kind of band 14 year olds love, and I have to agree. Mind you that was when they toured NZ a squillion years back. Who were they playing support for? My friend went for the main act...
Dave Grohl makes a complete dick of himself on the Michel Gondry DVD, talking about the video for 'Everlong'. He's just like "wow, yeah, it's, uhh.. I dunno.. he's such a genius, but I didn't like it, but everyone talks about it as our best video, so yeah, it's great. He's a genius." I hate people who say "genius", but he just comes off about as articulate as Keith from the Prodigy. :D
Mind you being articulate and making good music certainly don't go hand-in-hand, eh.

Sonic Youth, 1996.
I absolutely love both the song 'Everlong' and the video for it, but I could happily live without third or fourth or fifth albums from them.
I do also love the songs that Louise Post wrote about Dave Grohl, but they're not the happiest things ever.

the new record wasnt as good as I thought it would be, I was kinda disappointed in it,
Seems kinda one dimensional to me, not alot of thoughts seems to have gone into the songs, and there no way this is the hardest and loudest record they have ever made... thats my view on it anyway
