Let me warn you now - I've been a Foo Fighters fan since I was 11 years old so this review will be biased.
When I first heard the single "Run" I was confused. Not because of the song, but because I thought the Foo's were on a hiatus. Nonetheless, I thought it was a heavier kick-ass song than what I was used to but I knew that the album wasn't going to disappoint.
A few months later, I was on YouTube and I saw a thumbnail of the Foo's on the roof of a house, eyes glowing. Again, I was confused. Two seconds later, I realized that it was a new song. I listened to "The Sky Is A Neighborhood" three times before I decided that this would be my favorite song on a album that I hadn't heard yet. I had to look up some info and I found that the album would be released in three weeks. I preordered and waited.
I heard "The Line" on a baseball commercial and I found the audio on YouTube. I knew I would have a perfect album after listening to this song about ten times. "The Line" is just one of those songs that reminds me why I fell in love with this band in the first place. The guitars, the vocals, the bass, the drums, the lyrics, the chaos...just amazing.
When I received Concrete And Gold and I was blown away. Hands down, this is a tie with my second favorite album from them (my first favorite being The Colour And The Shape, and the tie being shared with Wasting Light -- but then again, how is it even fair to "rank" their albums?? They are ALL amazing).
Their opener "T-Shirt" reminded me of "Doll", a nice one minute song that will set the tone for the entire album.
"Make It Right" had me headbanging with it's guitar kicks and Hawkins consistent and tight drum hits.
While I thought TSIAN would be my favorite song, once I heard "La Dee Da" that notion went out the window. This dirty, gritty, heavy-hitting bass filled song is the anthem of my life and everything I stand for (but again, I'm biased).
"Dirty Water" is one of those songs that you think would be a easy-going song, but then it slowly climaxes to something great (think of "Come Alive" from Echoes, Silence, Patience, & Grace). I can't tell you how many times I've woken up in the middle of the night with Dave's voice screaming --Bleed dirty water/Breathe dirty sky-- in an overlapping style.
"Arrows" was different in terms of lyrical content but I was still pleased. It reminded me of one of their older albums in terms of sound (I really like the drums on this one).
Where is your Shangri la now? Dave asks. And I often ask myself that question any time "Happy Ever After (Zero Hour)" pops randomly into my head. It's very reminiscent of the Beatles or even The Beach Boys. It's one of those songs that you wouldn't expect from the Foo's but you still find it lodged in your eardrum long after the album is finished.
"Sunday Rain" is just plain amazing. Paul McCartney on drums? Taylor Hawkins singing vocals? VOCALS? It is 6:11 minutes of pure joy. This is the surprising factor of the entire album (I believe every album has one). Hawkins is damn knarly, too.
Our titular title track is most definitely the heaviest of the entire album. It's slower pace forces you to listen to it at its rate and you can't help but to close your eyes and tap your foot to this somewhat uplifting song.
Well. If you've read this far, I'm pretty sure that you've decided to buy this album....or not? If you decide not to, you'd be making a tremendous mistake. Don't be fooled by the negative reviews. Deep down in your heart, you and I both know, that the Foo Fighters have and never will disappoint.
