Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Having commemorated their tenth anniversary with a year-plus run commencing with In Your Honor (a double album the New York Times called an "unexpected magnum opus"), sold out rock arena shows and a toned down intimate theater trek, and a headlining gig at London's Hyde Park for a crowd of 85,000, the question looms larger than any in the Foo Fighters' career to date: What do they do for an encore?!? The answer comes in the form of "The Pretender," the first single from the band's sixth studio album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, out on Roswell/RCA. Produced by Gil Norton, who last worked with the band on 1997's double-platinum The Colour and The Shape (recently reissued in deluxe 10th anniversary form), Dave Grohl, bassist Nate Mendel, drummer Taylor Hawkins and guitarist Chris Shiflett have crafted a 12-track milestone that showcases and reconciles the band's every strength and sensibility in the most complex and confident Foo Fighters album to date.

Amazon.com: In 1997, Foo Fighters teamed with alt-rock production cornerstone Gil Norton to make their best album, The Colour and the Shape. Ten years later, they've regrouped with Norton for a disc that's more sophisticated and diverse, if a tad less rockin'. The curveballs include "Stranger Things Have Happened," a solo soul-searcher where leader Dave Grohl's accompanied by just his acoustic guitar and a ticking metronome, and "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners," an acoustic guitar duet for Grohl and guest virtuoso Kaki King. Plus "Summers End" tickles the Foos' classic-rock fetish with a dead-on Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young arrangement. There's still enough of the intense, snarling power-pop that's Foo Fighters' longtime forte. "The Pretender," "Erase/Replace," and "Long Road to Ruin" combine sheer thrust, zeal, and melody like no other group currently on the charts. Yet the finale, "Home," makes its clear that this is a changed band--or, at least, that Grohl's a changed man. With only his piano for company, Grohl's pleading voice reveals fragile layers of insecurity and loneliness as he sings "all I want is to be home." Seems this rock & roll road warrior's mellowed some, albeit without compromising Foo Fighters' vitality. --Ted Drozdowski Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Love It!I ordered this CD with Pepsi points. It arrived in exactly seven days. I have ordered CD's through the mail from other compaies like BMG and Columbia House and they usually have cracked jewewl cases on arrival, but this one did not. I plan to order more CD's through Amazon. And ya gotta love the Foo Fighters! Rating: - I'm completely addicted to this albumI have to listen to E,S,P&C at least once a day, from start to finish. Love it from beginning to end, loud to soft, fast-paced to slow. It's amazing. The melodies grab you, and the harmonies and Dave's voice don't let you go. Rating:  - OverratedThey're a great band, and the first two songs are awesome, but the rest of the album is really disappointingly average. Not recommended for casual fans. Rating: - Unbelievable!Every single song on this CD is amazing!!! I cannot get sick of it. Rating: - Foo to U - We're just ordinary people, you and meFoo? Every time I hear That voice and the music, what can you say or do? Sing along over and over again. I hear the 70s influences of Crosby, Still, Nash; Gerry Rafferty; others. Other than the hits: Pretender, Long Road to Ruin *Erase/Replace *Come Alive *Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners? That is the quintessential small town porch song on a warm summer night after outdoor grilling with friends, watching fireflies, loving the feeling. *Home, for all the women who doubt *Summer's End - 70s summer love, good times, bare feet, Frisbee, hacky sack, beachside fire with circle of friends *Stranger things have happened - plaintive introspective brooding. You'll need a big hug, a sugar buzz, ... Read More: |
