Foo Fighters - Medicine at Midnight (February 5, 2021) Album • Page 10

No Way Back is easily their most underrated single

 

well, no

that’s generator and/or big cows

 

Love "Generator" but "No Way Back" is a ripper

 

Listened to Echoes, Sonic Highways, and C&G yesterday. It really just made me appreciate this new album even more. Aside from a handful of songs, those three albums just don’t do it front to back for me.

“Run” is still one of my all time favorite Foo Fighters songs though.

Also, they definitely should’ve released Cloudspotter first/before Shame Shame. Shame Shame is my least favorite song on the new album lol.

 

Yep, Cloudspotter and/or Making A Fire should've been singles I think.

 

idk man, Echoes is up there, its chock full of great songs. The Pretender through Come Alive is a crazy good run. Personally I'd maybe cut like 2 songs on the back half and it would be pretty damn close to WL level good.

 

Definitely my favorite Foo album, although TCATS isn't too far behind.

 

running through ESP&G right now for first time in forever. still rules.

 

Yeah, ESPG seems severely underrated around here. It has the perfect mix of acoustic/electric.

 

Thats why I’ve never really been that into it. The whole acoustic/electric mix takes me out of it. Not that it sounds bad bc it doesn’t....I just don’t vibe to it much.

 

I'm gonna check in on this album tomorrow, but the band hasn't resonated with me since Wasting Light, which actually may overall be my favorite FF album.

 

yeah i’m pretty excited to spin it while in the car

 

I have low expectations, which are even lower after hearing Shame Shame. I thought Concrete and Gold was mostly bad. I hope I'm wrong and this surprises.

 

I've listened to the 30 second clips they've posted every day of each song, and tbh, it doesn't ramp up my interest much, but nonetheless, feel obligated to give it a shot. Obviously tough to judge anything on a snippet.

 

it's wild that Shame Shame really doesn't stand out as an obvious "first single" From this at all, yet it's the song Dave wanted people to hear first for a reason. (as he said in one of the SiriusXM interview things on their channel that just launched).

 

The album grows on me with every listen. I always skip over "Chasing Birds" though. That song kind of sucks and goes nowhere. Dave just isn't great at writing acoustic ballads.

 

I love Chasing Birds. Might be my favorite on the album tbch.

 

and Walking After You says hi

 

Didn't realize this was out tonight, not feeling great based on the singles but I'm sure I'll find some charm to it

 

Post-TINLTL ballads I should say. "Home" and "Virginia Moon" are also exceptions.

 

That makes a bit more sense lol

 

This was not a highly anticipated album for me after hearing the singles. Then hearing the rest of the album changed it for me so much that I pre-ordered the vinyl lol.

 

I'd say Wheels

 

That song rips. Timeless rock song just like Everlong and My Hero, IMO.

 

I got halfway through this last night and was not a fan. Hoping the subsequent listens provide much more joy.
