nice and buzzed listening to the new Foo Fighters record.

these guys are realy carrying the torch for straight up rock.

first song has a little SOAD/No Doubt element to it.

the next song has some Rush in it.

the third song sounds like real late 70s/early 80s rock.

won't be surpised if the 3rd song ends up a big single.

that's all.

I go to see if a store near me has it today. I thought this was released next week. They had a 2 hour behind the scenes thing on the new record on I think VH1 classic last night.

I didnt think it was out yet either. I'm watching the Foo documentary right now.

Murk - 4-9-2011 at 10:04 AM

comes out Tuesday

XHonusWagnerX - 4-9-2011 at 01:59 PM

Ok, I'm up to track 7 I think and I'm kind of disappointed so far. White Limo is awesome, but I expected more tracks that sound like that and nothing is that rockin or metal so far.

Murk - 4-9-2011 at 10:38 PM

buzzed up again.

4th song is White Limo and like Honus said, none of the other songs, so far, are like it.

5th song has a little Nickelback in it.

i have to say that it sounds amazing from a production standpoint.

i think he insisted on all analog for the album.

6th song is really mainstreamish.

7th song sounds like 80s and the hook could easily go in a commercial or a movie trailer.

8th song, little RATM/Soundgarden in the beginning, real riffy and accesible melody, rhythmic breakdowns.

9th song has some AIC/GNR in the beginning, kinda Tom Petty in the verses, and more 80s-ish vibes, very hooky.

10th song is super chill, Pink Floyd ish on the hook, then goes into a jazzy lounge kind a sound, picks up speed, gets more intense, sounds like there could've been an orchestra on this song, might be about Courtney Love.

Last song starts out like U2, very anthemic, then breaks into a Cars like vibe and chorus is standard foo, hearing some Springsteen.

and that's it.

that's my real time, buzz induced review of the new foo.

this album will be very successful because it's very accessible.

if yer lookin' for an album of White Limo, look elsewhere.

I'm just bummed because I felt like it was promoted as being an album of White Limo. Oh well.... Still have a lot of respect for Dave & Im glad Pat is back.

pretty good I guess

Nothing against them but I never managed to really get into this band.

Foo Fighters recently performed a full-length concert at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City as part of CBS's Live on Letterman series.

clevohardcore - 4-16-2011 at 10:50 PM

I just want to add what a great band, but the song EVERLONG? Soo fucking emotional, furious and perfect. No rock song can touch it. It's perfect.

Discipline - 4-17-2011 at 12:56 AM

They lick moose balls.

tireironsaint - 4-17-2011 at 12:53 PM

Grohl is a talented musician, but I can't stand listening to his bands. Makes me wanna kick myself in the face.

i really want to like that record....everything about it sounds like it should be good...but I can't. Of everything josh has done it's been my least favorite. I can't find anything I don't like about qotsa though; other than that stupid fucking name. I refused to listen to them for years because I was narrowminded about their name. Got into many "queers of the stone age"drunken arguments with friends. But then I listened. And understood.

JawnDiablo - 4-17-2011 at 05:12 PM

QOSA is in my top 10 favorites

I checked out Them Crooked Vultures a while ago. I also thought it sounded like it would be a cool project but I didnt like any of the songs I heard. QOTSA is decent though.

Mark Lind - 4-18-2011 at 08:37 AM

The song "Rosemary" is pretty great.

clevohardcore - 5-17-2011 at 01:20 PM

Finally jammed the entire record a few times. This release is very good. I am sicked about the tour as well. CLEVELAND OHIO on September 20th. This band does no wrong in my book.

BDx13 - 5-17-2011 at 05:15 PM

just got it for my wife, but haven;t listened yet. thanks for the reminder.

clevohardcore - 5-19-2011 at 08:49 AM

what did you think? I have to say I forgot the song, but there is a song on this cd where I got fucking excited for the guitar solo. Hasn't happened since first hearing SLAYER. I can' texplain but this particular song is good but it builds into a solo where your like FUCK YA! THAT JAMS!

Murk - 5-25-2011 at 06:00 PM
