I went to the playback for the album before the secret Dingwalls gig before Live Earth, and i have to report it's the best Foos album to date. Dave Grohl told us that they'd written about 30 songs for it, and just picked the absolute best to go on the album. He added that the key to tracks being included was if he could shut his eyes when listening to them and imagine a festival crowd bouncing up and down and going nuts before his eyes! As such there's a lot of instantly catchy sing along tracks on here, as well as a few slower ones to help you catch your breath. Can't wait to have a copy of my own.

C'mon it's the Foos, and it's not even out yet. We all know the standard of the guys' work, and how they strive to beat their previous releases. If this trend carries on we know that this beauty will satisfy us into a frenzy. They prove time and time again that they are the greatest rock act on the planet, so now they underline this with a studio album that will burn for a long while. Thanks boys, see you on stage when you tour this album.

two good songs the rest is really poor by foo fighters standards. if it was anyone else id probably say its an ok album but beacuse its foo's its so dissapointing.
even worse than theres nothing left to lose.
hope they come back with something better next album.

Mr Grohl and his mates had done it again! No one in good conscious could describe this album as anything other than majestic, with a decent helping pure rock in the forms of the pretender, erase/replace and let it die, and passionate harmony's such as those seen but honestly and home. Long road to ruin is a ruby on the allready delicious cake. the best album of the year

After reading some sceptical reviews of this album at first i still decided to buy it and make my own mind up.

After listening to it for the first time (whilst doing other stuff on my laptop) i did not hear anything special, however i decided to sit down and have a proper listen.

It was then that i realised the genious of this album, and i have listened to it numerous times since then, and it gets better each time, the variation is untrue.

I think this is a must buy for any Foo fan as it seems to capture everything i love about them.
