Well here we are in 2008, And the biggest rock band in the world are th Foo Fighters, 2 Sold Out nights at Wembley Stadium and a Million fans up there sleeve, What's to thank? In My opinion this album with a compination of In Your Honor, This has some of the best songs Foo's have ever done, I mean you only need to turn on the Radio to hear the Beast 'The Pretender' and see how good they have become with age.But What's more refreshing than this modern Foo Fighters Rock album is the Inclusion of songs like 'But,Honestly' and 'Come Alive' but still has the Tremendous riffs of 'Let It Die' and 'Erase/Replace'. Basically if your ready for some fresh sounds to Foo fighters, With the Experiance of there older albums, Then this is definatly for you.

Well, after hearing The Pretender I was really looking forward to the new album. The Pretender is a very good song! However, they seem to have released the best song as the first single. I have listened to the album twice through now and nothing grabs me, one track which is good is track 4: Long Road to Ruin. I am quite disappointed really. The album is OK, and compared to other stuff in the charts in the UK charts, it is good. But, for Foo's, not their best! If you buy it, don't expect amazing things from it! Oh well!

This one one of my best buys of 2007, and as a huge Foo Fighters fan, my anticipation was matched by the albums quality. 'The Pretender', 'Cheer Up Boys', 'Long Road To Ruin', 'But Honestly' and 'Stranger Things Have Happened' are in my opinion 5 Star tracks.

Yet, I believe on one or two tracks, the Foo's strayed too far from what they know, especially with the song 'Home', which was far too mellow for my liking (and I liked In Your Honour Disc 2 and Skin and Bones).

However, as I said, this is almost a 5 Star album, and if 'The Colour And The Shape' didn't exist, this could possibly be the best album the Foo's have ever done.
