Foo Fighters a goofy band name with the occasional goofy music video and yet has more of a legacy than most of the acts out there now! One Direction and 5 Seconds of summer will not have the same impact on music as Foo Fighters! This album is a good addition to their Legacy and I suggest it!
I love the acoustic songs

Some may say they are boring but if you really listen to the music and the harmonies of the guitar it is amazing. The song Razor is one of my new favorite songs, the dissonance of Dave's voice and the guitar in parts is chilling. Overall it is a good album
Don't understand the appeal to this album

I have been a Foo Fighters fan since 1998 and I personally believe There is Nothing Left to Lose is their best album. Just go listen to Aint it the Life, Aurora, Generator... Headwires whatever. Every instrument is so perfectly played and that album has Dave Grohl's best vocal work to date. This album is SOOO boring. It's by far their worst still to date. I came back to it thinking "why don't I have this on my ipod anymore? is it really THAT bad?" YES!!! Every song is just Dave screaming and some generic music behind it. Nothing stands out on this cd at all. I owned this cd for a few years when it came out and I've probably listened to it at least 20 times trying to like it. Why is it that the only piece of this album I could even remember is Dave yelling IS SOMEONE GETTING THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST OF YOUUUU. Such a lame song. Listen to Best of you and tell me it doesn't sound like a beer commercial.
fed up with light beers tasting like water? Looking for something with some punch. Then try FLAT TIRE ALE(background music a man starts screaming THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST FOR YOUUUU)
hate this cd. Go buy the colour and the shape or there is nothing left to lose. Those are both masterpieces. If you like some raw grungy stuff check out the first cd and half of all the other ones are pretty good too. Steer clear of this
I enjoy!

This album shows how diverse and talented the Foo Fighters truly are. Disc 1 reaches to Classic Rock roots and also doesn't disappoint in the hard rock genre. Disc 2 is amazing from beginning to end. Whenever I want to listen to softer, relaxing music - this is always the album I play. It's also my favorite out of all their material.
Not normal foo fighters

In Your Honor is great, but DOA really got my attention. Dave never ceases to impress me.

Just thought I would write a review because very few people have written reviews on them. If you look at any Linkin Park album there are thousands of reviews. Look at any Foo Fighter Album and there are like 10 reviews! You can't compare Linkin park and Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters are so much better.
So If you read this review write a review on what you think or at least rate this album.
Best of Foo?

I find it equally funny how people snub those who like earlier works by the band. THOSE EARLY WORKS ARE THE REASON THEY ARE FANS! I do agree that simply wishing the band would put out more cd's of the same stuff is silly. (That's what Offspring has done and quite frankly it is getting tiresome). But I don't think this is the case here. For me, a fan ever since I heard My Hero, I have loved every single album the Foos have put out, until now. This album is good, but I would rate it below the other 4, or maybe equal with their self titled debut. I hope this will be taken as an honest assessment from a long-time devoted fan.
Observations:
I think the single, Best of You, is a bit contrived and forced, and while it's an okay song, it suffers from too much screaming. I don't mind Dave's screaming, and I think it works very well on other tracks, especially, Hell and In Your Honor. But think Dave goes overboard on the screaming in a misguided attempt to emphasize the rock disk. I think his screaming has worked best when it builds up, as in Monkey Wrench, All My Life, etc. Here, starting out screaming through whole songs gets a bit repetitive and deflates any build up or momentum to the song.
As far as the first disk goes, I like a lot of the tracks, but with the exceptions of No Way Back, DOA and Hell, nothing really sticks out for me. It is a good fix for my Foo cravings, but nothing earth-shattering or eye-opening like previous efforts. (i.e. Big Me, Monkey Wrench or Everlong, Generator, or All My Life, Low). I think it is because they are trying to hard. Honestly, if I want really brilliant, hard rocking songs, I could listen to the first four tracks of One by One and be perfectly satisfied. Or I could listen to My Hero or Monkey Wrench. Listen to this album and then listen to All My Life, Low, Have it All, and Times Like These. Notice the difference? I think those songs have melody to them. They are hard rocking, but are distinguishable. These songs, especially In Your Honor and Best of You, are drowned out by screaming and are too simplistic with the guitar work. The Foo Fighters can and have done better. Again, not asking for the same thing, but I do appreciate the complexity I have come to expect from the band.
What I don't really like about this album, and why I think its a bit sub-par, is the second acoustic disk. I am not a fan who gives an A for effort. I like the fact that they tried to do something different and I appreciate it, but honestly I think the second disk is boring. It puts me to sleep every time I listen to it. I like Miracle, and Another Round, but the other songs are dull. I do think On the Mend is also okay, but I can't help but think it would sound better with an electric guitar and at a slightly faster tempo. I think Grohl also missed the mark on Virginia Moon, featuring Norah Jones. It is a great concept, but what happens is he drowns her out. What's the point of having Norah Jones sing a duet if you can barely hear her? I thought the band could have done much better, like the work they did with the acoustic versions of everlong, my hero, and times like these. Again, those are distinguishable tracks and if you get a chance, check them out. Much better work than what they produced here.
So, all in all, not their best effort. I don't think this album will kill the band, and a lot of other fans seem to really like it. Personally I think anyone who thinks this is the best Foo Fighter album hasn't listened to the others in a while or at all. I like complexity in songs and this album doesn't have as much of it as their past albums. I know some will feel free to flame away, but this is simply an honest assessment from a big time fan.
This album is not a starter album.
