It's okay. I won't be screaming to hear this in 5 years, but I like how Kurstin has pulled Dave's vocals back a great deal. Listen to "Best of You" to hear what I mean as Dave is usually in front of everything, along with the guitars. By pulling Dave back, that allows Kurstin (and Dave) to do more vocal layering, counter melodies, harmonies etc. than you'd usually hear Foo Fighters do. So, at this point, I'm glad the producer change was made. Butch Vig is a legend, but their collaborations hit a wall creatively. So, a pop sensibility was the best thing for this rock band right now, especially in a pop and hip-hop driven landscape. However, I really hope the term "weirdest" is true when it comes to Taylor and Homme's description of "Concrete and Gold." Foos' tours will always sell out so why not experiment at this point in your career as long as you write a couple 'Foo Fighters' singles to keep their corporate partners satisfied.
I feel like from the way his guest spot is described it'll be pretty small and something you have to kind of listen for... a full JT verse would be dope though lmao
These new songs are so good. I didn't think they could top Wasting Light, but this seems to be heading that way.
Yeah, I would expect the JT appearance to be no bigger than Ben Gibbard's cameo on "Sonic Highways" aka not much.
It'd be cool if it were along the lines of the Bob Mould feature. Dude killed it on Rosemary. I think this'll be way more subtle though if what Dave said in that interview was true
These three singles are honestly some of their strongest in years imo... extremely hyped for next week.
Foo Fighters 'Concrete And Gold' Review Great review. Basically reinforces all of our hopes that this will be one of their best albums.
