Thoughts on the new Foo Fighters album?

The new Foo Fighters album, "Wasting Light" was officially released today. What are your thoughts? I personally think it's quite good, not my favorite from them though.

Foo Fighters is still together?

Are they even relevant anymore? Personally... not a fan, never have been... I really dislike rock music...

Foo fighters have been somewhat consistent with the quality of their songs I own 3 other Foo albums, "Foo fighters" (self titled), "Color and the Shape" and "Echoes Silence Patience and Grace"

As for "Wasting Light" I've only heard "ROPE" and it's a decent song,

I think i'm going to pick this one up today!

Dont make a music thread, or read one, if you don't want toread negative comments... I make music thread all the time, and 50% of the comments are negative... thats something you have to deal with...

What other albums of theirs does it sound like? Or is it a new sound?dodgerblue13

I only have an early torrent that is fairly bad quality. The songs sound sick, but I still need to go pick up the CD now that it's out to experience it in full quality.

It's a lot harder rock than they normally play. The Colour and the Shape is still one of my favorite albums but this comes close.

Rumored to be a new RHCP, Tool, and RATM albums that should all be out this year. Sick year for actual rock music.

Burning Bridges started to play and I was like "Damn, this is great!". and then the rest of the songs played... Not that great after repeated listens. It is good, just not better than theirolder stuff. Burning bridges is by far the best song on the album.

i think its pretty good. Dave Grohl looks like his 90's self again.

Amazing! Foo Fighters personify rock. I can't wait for their documentary on April 14th.

Boring, sounds exactly like their old albums. Never seen the appeal in them.

I've been really looking forward to this. I'll be picking it up either later today or tomorrow.

Never been a big Foo Fan, but I am listening to the album right now and so far I am enjoying far more than their last two.

Was completely unaware they had a new album coming out.

Only Foo album I am familiar with is The Colour and the Shape unfortunately. Dave is my freaking idol though. He is the drummer whose songs I have been learning the most of BY FAR, and in general I think he is the pinnacle of what I want to be like. Great musician who doesn't get his head up his ass. Seen interviews with him and he is so down to earth and very family oriented which is just awesome.

You people say this album is harder and has a punk influence? Must go get this then! Working on starting a punk and with a friend so maybe this album can give some inspiration!

I've only listened to the first half of it so far but I really like it.

I love the album. The only songs i don't like are White Limo and the Deadmau5 Remix of Rope.big_old_tom

Finally picked up the deluxe edition off iTunes, it's great!

So what? No disscussion allowed? Either like the band or GTHO? Thats not what disscussion is about... you make a thread, you should expect some negativity... it doesn't bother me in the slightest that some person I don't really know doesn't like the music I post, and it certainly doesn't deserve a 4 word response...

Its part of the disscussion, thats all... I didn't go out of my way to insult anyone, I didn't call TC a loser or anything... I honestly was not sure if the Foo Fighters were even still together or if they were still popular, which is why I asked... thats it...

I have listen to the album 3 time. I love "Dear Rosemary" and "These Days"
