This album has the perfect combination of beautiful ballads and rock classics that Dave Ghrol & Co are so good at producing.Lyrically, its easily an improvement on all other Foo Fighters albums. For once, theres clearly some really heart in the lyrics, especially in Let It Die. It's been said it was written about Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, and its easy to see how that idea could come about.
Musically also, it shows the Foos at their best. Full of the manic guitar of their previous 5 studio albums, but also the slower tracks that show how the band have gelled over the years.
If one thing is for sure, its that the Foo Fighters know how to start an album. The Colour And The Shape (1997) opening with Doll straight into the timeless Monkey Wrench and All My Life at the start of One By One (2002). Again, with single The Pretender, they've produced a classic opening to a truly classic album.
Put simply, this how 2005's In Your Honor should have sounded, and then so much more.
