Editorial Review:
Album Description: Includes the bonus tracks Requiem, Drive Me Wild, Down In The Park, Baker St, Dear Lover and Color & Shape.
Amazon.co.uk: A major criticism of the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut was its supposed lack of passion despite the well-crafted songs and well-crafted rock. This time out, if it's wreckage you want, it's wreckage you get. The Colour and the Shape grows deeper the more it's played, with the band's ripping power is more than matched by Dave Grohl's fascinating examinations of pain and divorce. There is even a convincing long slow ballad, "November Stars", whose intensity should win over doubters. If that doesn't work, then the screaming "My Hero" will.--Rickey Wright

Just FYI, the version of "Walking After You" that most are familiar with is on the X Files soundtrack, not this one. But in truth, both versions are enjoyable.
While the remastering is subtle at best, this is a great buy at $7.99 (well, that's what it's listed at right now) even without the glorious bonus tracks.
"Baker Street" --- I can't decide which I like better; Foo Fighters cover (Faster tempo, guitar solo, coke instead of booze. Heh.) or the Gerry Rafferty (Poignant sax solo, sense of great space). I can listen to both back to back & never be able to choose.
If you don't already have this remastered version or the original, you should get it simply for the fact that "Everlong" is one of ... Read More:

i wont hold this particular version of TCATS to any real standard because a lot of the songs were b-sides added in later. i can tell you its a shame 'Dear Lover' wasnt put on the original release but oh well.
When i first heard this CD back in 97 it was instantly a classic and main stay and while i have had more fun with other Foo Fighters material its easy to come back to this one but only half heartedly. a lot of the songs just cant hold my attention so much anymore which is ok, so with that said i cant give this CD 5 stars.

Generally speaking, the "Essential " consists of the band's greatest hits, the songs that immediately comes to mind when said band is mention. "The Colour and The Shape" is far from being a greatest hits album, but to me it is THE essential Foo Fighters.
You get the Foo back when, musically, they'd matured the most I've seen any band mature in a span of two albums, and yet, were still fresh enough to not have run out of all the wild ideas that make the Foo Fighters the Foo Fighters.
The fact that my favorite Fighters song "My Hero" is in this album kind of triggers a bias in my judgment of it, but speaking as objectively as I can, this is, to me, the best music the Foo Fighters have given the world.

Foo Fighters is, of course, always a good listen. But I when I bought this I expected more out of it. I guess I just like their newer stuff better.

I didn't know this version of Colour came out until I got here. Kind of sucks for us folks who plunked down $50 or more back in 1997 and 1998 for the original Colour, both X-Files soundtracks, Godzilla soundtrack and a couple of foreign Colour single CD's just to get the B-sides.
Oh wait...A320 from Godzilla isn't on here, nor is Walking After You Remix that's on the X-Files movie soundtrack. Where, oh where are those two great pieces of Foo work from the Colour & Shape era on this 10th year edition?
But, I digress slightly. If you don't have C&S and you've got latter Foo stuff like In Your Honor or Echoes/Silence, you should pick up this 10th anniversary edition. It's the perfect mixture of the first super ... Read More:
