Foo Fighters: The Colour and the Shape / There is nothing left to lose

 

Glad to see that I am not the only one that considers "The Colour" an amazing album. That thing just goes off like a timebomb. The first five tracks set the whole mood.

 

Also happy to see that "Mindcrime" is getting it's due.

 

// Son Volt > Wilco

Yeah, I'm really amazed The Colour And The Shape isn't held in higher regard. It's always been far and away my favorite FF album. Every song is great, and there's a really wonderful flow to the album in terms of the sequencing of the songs. I keep waiting for some critic to look back and put TCATS on a pedestal.

But for the record, I've really been dissapointed in the past two albums. There Is Nothing Left To Lose has a great first half, and then sort of dies off. One By One was a really terrible flame-out in my eyes, way too polished and sterile. I think I've only listened to it three times all the way through.

I know FF is sort of Dave Grohl's showboat and he can do whatever the eff he wants, but the band feels really marginalized at this point. The forthcoming double album sounds like it could be either really great or really terrible (as are most double albums, can't artists let go of their ego and pick the 12-15 absolute BEST songs of the bunch?!).

 

But anything Dave Grohl has drummed on has been spectacular.
