    Anyone else pick this up today? Foo fighters seem to be one of the handful of rock bands out there that can still consistantly put out solid albums. I'm enjoying it so far but it will take a few listens through before I can make a decision on it.



    Wasting Light Track List:
    • "Bridge Burning"
    • "Rope"
    • "Dear Rosemary"
    • "White Limo"
    • "Arlandria"
    • "These Days"
    • "Back & Forth'
    • "A Matter of Time"
    • "Miss the Misery"
    • "I Should Have Known"
    • "Walk"

    Fantastic album. I can't pick a favorite song. I reallllllllllllllly like: "Bridge Burning", "Rope", "Dear Rosemary" and "I Should Have Known". There's not a song on there that I don't like, though.

    I watched the documentary on VH1 and it was verrrrrrrrrry good also. I never knew all of the drama that went on in the early years. They even had a nice piece that involved some of the Nirvana years w/ Dave.

    this is a thread that I can post in

    Like someone else said I have been listening to it since they posted the stream. Bridge Burning could be my favorite opening song on their albums ever. If I had to pick a least favorite, it's probably Back & Forth, but everything else is amazing. I was worried about how it would sound since it was all on tape and based on the original White Limo video, but it sounds great

    I was a huge foo fan throughout high school and for a few years after, but as music tastes have chaged in the last few years, I've kind of abandoned most of the rock genre. That said, I still pick up albums from bands I've supported throughout the years and this album is really good and the VH1 doc was great.

    not only did they record it on tape but if you actually buy the physical cd, they cut the actual tape itself up into over a million pieces and put a piece inside each cd sleeve. very cool!

    i heard Dave Grohl hired someone to kill Kurt Cobain so he could steal all Kurts unrecorded songs for his own personal gain. Grohl then started Foo Fighters so he could release all of the stolen music without drawing suspicion.

    I liked it, I'm not a huge fan of them but I've always enjoyed their stuff. Plus not many other bands on their level decide to do a tour that's strictly played in garages.

    fwiw it wasn't a tour in garages. They had a contest for one lucky guy to have them play in front of 50 friends in that person's garage. The CD was recorded on analog tape in a garage too

    It was more than one person, because there's a bunch of "Garage Tour" videos that the band posted on youtube in different areas. I def remember a NY one and a DC one.

    as an update to the above post, Foo Fighters are at Lolla

    Cannot stop listening to this album all of a sudden. I liked it, now it's constantly in my head and I cannot stop, The last Foo ablum I bought was The Colour and the Shape. Might have to pick up some that I missed.

    you can probably skip One by One, but the rest are pretty great. That even has a couple songs on it

    I wake up with a song in my head pretty much every day

    yeah that and Walk get stuck in my head a lot

    I'm just so excited for Lolla, my 4 favorite current artists are going to be there, I just hope they don't overlap. My last.fm profile is basically the lineup for it though
