I appreciate the experimentation but like does there really need to be some kind of choir effect on every song lmao
Wow, the mid-section of this album honestly keeps getting better and better. I'm really impressed so far.
Just finishing my first listen and I'm honestly EXTREMELY impressed so far. I think the Stereogum review nailed it, this still sounds like a Foo Fighters album, but also shows that they have a lot of new tricks up their sleeve, and overall they sound re-energized. I virtually never go back to anything from Sonic Highways, but this has a number of tracks that I already think will end up in my favorite FF tracks period.
What the hell did I just listen to? That was fan-fucking-tastic. Hands down to these guys. They more than delivered. . I need to grab a beer with Dave and shoot the shit with him.
Not a big fan of this on first listen. Some cool musical things going on, but Dave's vocal melodies felt lacking to me. Definitely wouldn't call it the late career peak it's being heralded as, but maybe it'll grow on me.
By far their weirdest and most interesting album. I can agree with some of the vocal melodies though.
Yeah I think they nailed it. They incorporate a bunch of surprising sonic elements and make them pretty much all work imo, and the songs themselves are stronger because of it.
