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.

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.

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.

I'm biased, but man..loving the new Foo CD.

 

Dear Rosemary and These Days are 2 of my favorites so far.

This.

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.

Uh, yes, the Foo Fighters are f***ing huge.

 

And yes, Monkey Wrench rocks.

Quoted for Truth.

 

Digging the new album. I like "Bridge Burning" "Dear Rosemary" and "Arlandria" a lot.

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.

I have seen MANY huge bands in concert and they are definitely in my top 3 of live performances I have seen

I saw Foo Fighters in 1995 at the Metro.

 

Looking back I cant believe my parents let me go.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'll take "Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace" as their 2nd best, behind "The Colour and the Shape".

TCATS is their best album by a good margin imo.

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.

My god, I can't stop listening to "Arlandria"...its like a disease..

new TV on the Radio good stuff.

New DONNIS mixtape. Haven't listened to it yet, I've got class.

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.

I'm waiting for a review before I download. I was disappointed by the last tape he put out.

What is that "Rope" Remix on the new Foo. It's awful. The only bad part of that album.
