What can you say abt a band started by one of the drummers of one of the most influential bands in the history of MuZik? Led by drummerXtrodinaire Dave Grohl, this 20songs 2-CD effort by the Foo Fighters is delightfully packaged;the first CD gives the listener the best of guitar heavy rock n roll and while CD numbor dua is full of mellow acoustics which is so lacking in today's music(with the exception of Kings Of Convenience of course).
The opening track on CD 1 ' In Your Honor' is typical in-your-face FooFighters .Mr Grohl starts off screaming 'Can u hear me, hear me screaming, in the muted sky' which reminded me of 'This is A Call'.The first single ' Best Of You' which is like an ode to your loved one is bloody infectious.The drumbeats provided by Taylor Hawkins are also fast & furious, the obvious influence of Dave Grohl.Other standout tracks in CD 1 include 'Resolve', 'The Deepest Blues Are Black'.
CD numbor dua, really blew me away.I was expecting more pop-friendly songs like 'Big Me' and 'Walking after you'. However song 1 on cd 2(ha) 'Still' changed all that. It sets off cd2 with other melancholic gems such as 'Miracle','Razor' and of course the bossa-fuelled 'Virginia Moon' feat.Norah Jones D/O Ravi Shankar.And having legendary bassist from LED ZEP John Paul Jones (no he is not the former Southampton keeper)contributing to the album can only help make it a great CD.This cd really shows you what a good and versatile band the Foo Fighters are.Definitely one of my top 10 cds in 2005.
