None of the albums they made after The Colour and the Shape could compare to The Colour and the Shape so they were never going to reach that level again. Doesn't mean they're not good albums/songs though, I love the Foo Fighters and I love all their music. I'm just glad they're still making music, much better than listening to the sh!t on the radio.

The Foo Fighters' music is now what is being listened to on the radio.

What I'm listening to:

Gary Clark Jr - Live
Kasey Chambers - Bittersweet
ZZ Top - The Baddest
Neil Young - Storytone
Slipknot - 5. The Gray Chapter
Flaming Lips - With a Little Help From My Fwends
Robert Plant and the Sensational Shapeshifters - lullaby and ceasless roar
Tweedy - Sukierae

Sorry should of clarified that, better than listening to all the shit top 20 pop music that's played and consistently repeated on the radio.

Jeff Buckley - Grace

The Preatures - Blue Planet Eyes.
Great homegrown sound.

Alien OST

So far pretty meh to me.

They're trying to do what the Beatles failed at with the original "Let it Be" album concept. Except in just one place they're trying to do it in 8 locations. They're going to a city and putting themselves on the clock to write a song in a certain amount of time instead of letting inspiration come naturally. Hence why these songs aren't up to muster, IMO.

Still, that said.....better than 99% of the crap FM radio have on their playlists ATM.

I read all of the songs were already written beforehand but Grohl just wrote the lyrics in each city they visited to record them.

FWIW, I really liked FF first two albums but after that they turned into MOR Triple M radio rock.

Exactly, when they came out with There Is Nothing Left to Lose, they became a band that your folks would probably enjoy.

I have said since Ixnay on the Hombre came out that this is my theme song. The lyrics sounds like they were written about me.

I hate a lot of things
I hate a lot of people that are lame
I like to hate stuff
Cause then I don't havae to try and make
A change
I hate teachers
I hate school
I hate the cheerleaders
And anyone who's cool
I hate the office
I hate the Quad
Don't wanna learn nothing
I want to be a slob

It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
I don't like nothing and I like that fine
(Liking something's just a waste of time)
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
I don't like nothing and I like that fine
(Liking something's just a waste of time)
I don't like nothing and like that fine
(Liking something's just a waste of time)
Yeah I hate everything
I even hate you too
So **** you

I'm always thinking bad
I never have nothing good to say
I'd rather tear things down
Than build them up
It's easier that way
I hate the jocks
And I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies
But I also hate the freaks
I hate Dr. Martens
And Muscle T's
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
I'll cut you down and give you lip
Being positive's so unhip
I'll cut you down cause I'm a fool
Being positive's so uncool

I hate the jocks
And I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies
But I also hate the freaks
I hate your band
And I hate TV
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
