Foo Fighters - But Here We Are (June 2nd, 2023) • Page 18

I do not, however, love "Waiting on a War"

 

cloudspotter, no son of mine, holding poison and love dies young are all solid tracks

 

Yeah, "Cloudspotter" and "No Son of Mine" are good. Album is kinda front-loaded iirc

 

lol i meant “making a fire,” ugh terrible song titles all around too

“holding poison” is fine

 

Song title ranking incoming

 

I don’t like how he sings the hard L in guillotine on Cloudspotter lol

 

So this is really really good huh.

 

As for MAM, I, for one, love Chasing Birds

 

I’ve always had a soft spot for Make It Right off of C&G

 

Sky is A Neighborhood is great

 

i disagree

 

Fuck it:

Wasting Light
The Colour and the Shape
There is Nothing Left to Lose
Foo Fighters
But Here We Are
One By One
Echoes, Silence, Patience, Grace
In Your Honor
Medicine at Midnight
Concrete and Gold
Sonic Highways

One By One, Echoes and In Your Honor could probably all be interchangeable. All three have tremendous highlights but also some major lows.

 

Only listened once and I can't formulate too strong an opinion based on that, but I've had the chorus hook to Show Me How in my head all day. I'm a sucker for that sort of hooky dreaminess, and I've always preferred that restrained, soft side of Dave's voice.

TINLTL has such a cool summer nights vibe. My favorite mode of theirs by far.

TCATS really lives and dies by the singles for me, but they are so incredible that I almost don't mind the fact that there are a few album tracks I don't care for that much.

But Here We Are and Wasting Light are both later-career albums that sound totally reinvigorated. I'm more emotionally invested in the new one, hence why I'm giving it the edge, but they're both great sets of songs.

I'm a huge sucker for the second half of Echoes. Them veering more in a '70s Laurel Canyon direction works so well for me.

In Your Honor would be such a killer single-disc album. As is, it has some bloat, but I love that acoustic disc and the electric disc has some of their best songs.

I'm probably committing blasphemy putting the self-titled record that low, but I've never totally clicked with that one the way a lot of fans have. Maybe because I heard a lot of their other albums before going back to the debut?

Really loved Medicine At Midnight when it came out. It doesn't hold up quite as well as I thought it would, especially in light of the new one, but there are some heaters on there. Love "Making a Fire" and "Cloudspotter" especially.

One By One was at the bottom for me for a long time, but it's grown on me recently. Still kind of bummed that's what came after TINLTL though. I feel like they had something better in them at that particular juncture in their career.

Sonic Highways has such a cool concept that it doesn't quite deliver on, but I still like it a lot. It just doesn't have any truly top-tier Foos songs.

Concrete & Gold really has never done anything for me, despite many attempts to enjoy it. Really felt like they were running out of steam on that one, which is part of the reason I got so excited about very genuinely enjoying Medicine at Midnight.

 

i’m not going to harp on it since you called yourself out but what the fuck craig

 

this is super close to how I’d rank them. I’d probably have One by One and the debut one slot higher each. Rest looks right

At least you can admit to it

This list is…something.

 

“m.i.a.” below “statues”? fuck off

 

There is so much wrong with that list. A completely randomized list would be more accurate.

 

I'm just glad they ditched the background vocalists. That never felt right. But I'm all for Violet filling in on the songs that Shifty can't cover as well as Taylor did, such as Rope and Shame, Shame.

 

anyone with disenchanted at 142 simply hasn’t listened to that chorus

looking at the full thing, so many full discography rankings should just be 10 songs, the 10 is almost always correct and everything else is batshit

 

Couldn't make it past the first 50 songs or so. Certifiably insane list

 

This is alright
