Capn12 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Foo Album Streamed I'm a little late with that link, as I'm sure some have seen it already, but damn if it isn't nice to hear the new album before it launches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Walk is probably my fav song from the album so far. It's pretty good, but a lot of the songs are very similar. I'd give it 7.5/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyons Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 With the Sox up and the Bulls and Hawks games over, I switched to VH1 last night and watched the Foo Fighters' new "Back and Forth" documentary instead of the end of the ballgame. Good decision on several fronts. I liked it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm biased, but man..loving the new Foo CD. Dear Rosemary and These Days are 2 of my favorites so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) I was just bored and flipping through channels on Friday- have the Foo Fighters really gotten that big that they warrant selling out Wembley? Is Monkey Wrench such a fantastic song that it justifies a drawn out 6 minute finale? They seem like such a "meh" band to me. I'll admit I haven't given them an extended listen, but thats only because what I've heard is so vanilla.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Someone told me that there is a LASERS part 2, with like 15-16 unreleased Lupe songs. If there is, I will cry with joy, but I can't find it anywhere online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I saw Foo Fighters in 1995 at the Metro. Looking back I cant believe my parents let me go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit I haven't given them an extended listen, but thats only because what I've heard is so vanilla. This is basically how I feel. I really want to like them, as I love Dave Grohl, but every time I try I just can't do it. Self-titled is a solid album.. outside of that, I'm just never really been impressed. And I've given them a fair shot, I just find them fairly boring. Edited April 12, 2011 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The first album was the only Foo Fighters album that I owned. I kind of went in a different direction with my taste (it was the mid 90s) and nothing was bringing back Nirvana. Admittedly Ive only listened to the songs that are on the radio, its just one of those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Saw Foo Fighters live in 08, they're fantastic to see live compared to other Rock Bands for sure. Best of You, My Hero and Learn to Fly probably my 3 favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Love the Foos, but I disagree as to self-titled being the best. Their best, IMO, is The Colour and the Shape, followed by There Is Nothing Left to Lose and then Self-Titled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take "Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace" as their 2nd best, behind "The Colour and the Shape". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 TCATS is their best album by a good margin imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I am really liking this new album on the second run through. I Should Have Known has a nice lo-fi Black Keys sound to the vocals. Which reminds me, I still need to pick up their last album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHizzle85 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 03:30 PM) At this time tomorrow, I'll be on a flight to Austin, TX for South by Southwest. Totally forgot to comment on this. SXSW was awesome. Best trip ever. If you remotely like music, it's a must go at least once in your life. Anywho, the new album/mixtape from Big KRIT is damn good (as expected). The newest projects from Ab-Soul & Smoke DZA are also worth checking out. The future of hip-hop is something to be excited about IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
