Foo Fighters - Medicine at Midnight (February 5, 2021) Album • Page 2

Hahaha sorry I'm young! I'll look into some homes for you.

 

The Colour and The Shape
Wasting Light
Self-Titled
There is Nothing Left to Lose
Echoes
Sonic Highways
One by One
In Your Honor
Concrete and Gold

 

this is probably close to my list too

Wasting Light and Echoes are the best you're gonna get from this stage of the Foo's career and I still find them very enjoyable.

first four albums are unfuckwithable tho

I've given the new album one listen so far but I was distracted so I don't have any concrete thoughts other than I found it pleasant. haha

 

yeah and even WL has to be pretty close to a decade old at this point i think

they’ll churn out some riffs i’m sure i’ll enjoy and i’m sure there will be some fun videos but they haven’t had an album that’s had more than a song or two stick with me since WL

 

There Is Nothing Left To Lose has been my favourite for years. TCATS second, self-titled third, Wasting Light fourth. All of those are great. Not a fan of the rest, outside of probably a couple of songs on each one.

 

One time I got to see Aurora live

 

Very jealous. I think it might be the best song they ever wrote.

 

Cool seeing all the love for There is Nothing Left to Lose, truly a great late summer/early fall record that outshines their entire discography aside from maybe that first record imho

 

wow

 

i’ve never seen the amount of TINLTL love that i see here

almost everywhere else it seems like TCATS is the runaway favorite with some shouts for the debut

 

It's up there for sure!

 

I love that Chorus always has weird favorites. Most of engage with music a little more than the average fan haha.

 

this is fair sometimes

sometimes it seems a little hot take for hot take’s sake

not that this example is a perfect one for that scenario. it’s a great album. just nowhere near the first two imo

 

Hahaha I do agree, I have rolled my eyes in some cases. Color and the Shape is just sooooo 90s. My love for TINLTL is definitely related to my age haha

 

Would you say you have any gold thoughts on it, though?

I'll see myself out.

 

Listening to TCATS now and it's still very good, but yeah, some of the songs just feel dated and almost animated compared to how effortless TINLTL feels to me. Not sure if that makes sense, but it's the energy is just different than what I'm looking for most days.

 

MIA is the best "forgotten" Foo Fighters song ever (well, maybe tied with Hey Johnny Park).

One thing I hate about bands getting older, is you never get those great old album tracks in concerts anymore like you did on the early tours - the Foos got too many hits they gotta play......

 

I'm not all that enamored with a few of the non-singles on TCATS, but it's one of the best singles records ever made.

 

I think "Headwires" is my favorite most slept-on FF track.

 

I said Aurora is my favourite Foos song. MIA is probably top three. It's so good.

 

there's only, like, one or two songs I'm not over the moon about on TCATS

and even those two are better than pretty much anything on the last few albums and half of the rest of their albums

 

yeah Colour will always be my favourite I think. that run from "February Stars" to "New Way Home" is absolutely unbelievable, probably an all-time album ending run for me

Nothing Left is super good though and my second fave

 

I actually really like "Shame Shame" and I'm down for them doing something lowkey as a first single. surprised at how short the new album is though, I hope it's consistently good

also if we're talking best forgotten Foos tracks, the top of that list is always and forever "A320". top 5 track from Grohl's pen imo

 

A320 is so good

 

If we're talking B-Sides some of my favorites are Win Or Lose, Down In The Park, Wheels (which was a semi-hit that nobody seems to really remembers) and one of the best recorded rock covers of all time, Band On The Run
