Foo Fighters

I own this, do I need to listen again? It was fine when it came out, but horrendously overplayed. "Good Grief" still holds up though.

Bah never liked these guys

Average rock album lol

I feel Foo Fighters should be right up my alley, but they just... aren't.

it's the foo fighters, but not my jam

hmmm

This is very rock. Nothing I'd listen to today. Trying to listen to it in the context of coming out one year after Kurt died. Big Me bringing the nostalgia big time. :) Like I wonder if Nirvana fans were like "....wut...." the first time they listened to this. By Wattershed I was ready to stop listening to this album.

Meh.

noisy

нет ну это уже слишком тяжело блять для меня просто шум какой то фоновый я вообще не воспринимаю и ниче не ощущаю когда уже реп сука будет ааааа

Good in parts and a pretty easy listen from start to finish. But overall a bit bland and mostly forgettable.

Production: 7/20 Songwriting: 9/20 Innovation: 4/20 Bangers: 5/20 Emotional response: 5/20 =30 Meh

Buen disco, pero a pesar de que el frontman de la banda niega haberle dedicado una canción al líder de nirvana, es inevitable pensar en él

2 | Mejor de lo que esperaba, creo puedo decir es el mejor disco de los Foo Fighters. Desafortunadamente esto no lo hace un gran disco. Es un disco que trata a gritos decir "No somos Nirvana" pero las mejores partes que se le rescatan de hecho son las que más suenan a lo que hizo con Cobain (básicamente las canciones Weenie Baby, X-Static, Wattershed, junto con el coro de I'll Stick Around), y si habiendo sido parte de Nirvana, lo mejor que puedes hacer suena a imitación mediocre de Nirvana... no habla muy bien. Mientras escuchaba y reflexionaba sobre Dave Grohl y su lugar en la música llegué a un par de conclusiones. La primera es que creo es famoso por ser el único grupo que hoy en día se le puede llamar "Rock" que sigue vivo; que tocan rock rock y nada más, sin complicaciones, sin ser agresivo, con un frontman muy "everyday man." Lo cuál me llevo a mi segunda revelación que es entender que Dave Grohl... es el Adam Sandler del rock. Los dos tienen, en mi opinión, mucho talento (el standup de Sandler y la capacidad de baterista de Grohl son innegables), los dos son, por todo lo que he visto de ellos, muy buenas personas (se preocupan un chingo por sus familias y son su prioridad, tratan a sus fans como pocos, tratan muy bien a todo su equipo y sus empleados), los dos son personas que creo admiro y me caerían muy bien, cuya obra principal y trabajo es tremendamente mediocre, apelando al mas bajo denominador lo cual los hizo tremendamente populares. Los dos ofrecen películas/discos blandos, sin chiste, que siempre son/suenan iguales, aburridos, mecánicos y sin vida. Podrían hacer cosas muchísimo mejores pero no tienen necesidad... y supongo tampoco los puedo culpar, igual con los dos sería pocamadre tomarse una cerveza. Es una banda que existe para ser escuchada en la estación de rock adulto contemporaneo como fondo indistinto y lo mejor que puedo decir de ellos es que sus videos eran buenos y mostraban buen humor (cimentando que Grohl es buena gente y llevadero). Con tumbos este disco subió hasta dos estrellas porque las canciones que mencioné me parecen medio rescatables y es, en efecto, el mejor disco que he les he escuchado.

Aburrido y plano. Mi tema con Dave Grohl es una cosa y es más culpa de cómo hablan los medios de él y cómo lo endiosan sus fans. Pero dejando de lado mi opinión de él, este disco de todos modos no me gusta. Las tonadas son planas y él todo el tiempo canta a su máximo como si estuviera inspirando a alguien en el último de un maratón y no hay matices, cambios de intensidad ni nada. Supongo que por eso es un éxito en vivo, porque todas las canciones suenan como diseñadas para “el concierto de tu vida”. La batería se me hace muy buena aunque igual todo el tiempo atascada en los platillos.

Dass Dave Grohl songschreiberisch im übergroßen Schatten von Kurt Cobain steht, sollte bereits mit diesem Album klar geworden sein. Darin bedient er sich dessen harmonischen Vokabulars und auch aller gängigen Rock-Klischees seit den Beatles. Das ist nicht so wenig unterhaltsam, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hatte, ändert aber meine bisherige Meinung zu Dave Grohl und den Foo Fighters nicht im geringsten. In der Tat denkt man sich bei einigen Songs: das habe ich doch von Nirvana auch schon mal so gehört - nur halt origineller. Im englischen Sprachraum werden die Foo Fighters schon seit mehr als 10 Jahren mal gehässig, mal weniger wertend zur bloßen Einordnung als „generisch” bezeichnet, letzterer Kategorisierung kann ich mich vollumfänglich anschließen.

Really see the Nirava, good but a little too grunge for me

This is not a good album. It was boring, bland, and unimaginative. And I mean I love Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl is a great guy and musician but this album was anything but “it.” From beginning to end I was hoping that there would be some sort of special song that would blow me away but everything felt like the kind of music that would play on “Rock Hard, Hard Rock Radio” and you’d turn on for your friends who listen to the most white chicken and rice with no seasoning pop music and wanted to get “adventurous.” And that’s my problem, this is just average. Its a dime a dozen record that was the debut of one of the most well known drummers of all time. And it’s featured as one of the albums you have to listen to before you die. No thanks, the only thing I was fighting was my boredom as I listened to this album. 1.7/5 Favorite Track: Floating.

Another really bad album

Not my kind of noise

I hate the Foo Fighters. Awful American rock nonsense. I was dreading this listen from the start today, and unfortunately, it did absolutely nothing to change my mind. There is genuinely nothing I like about this album. There’s no variety, no interesting harmonies, no storytelling and nothing musically that grabs me. It all just blends into the same generic sound and leaves absolutely no impression on me. I know the Foo Fighters are hugely popular, but I just don’t get it. This literally does nothing for me at all. I have absolutely no idea how this made it into the challenge.

favs: good grief oh, george x-static rating 1.3/5

it was middd, I lost interest like when there were 2 songs left. maybe because I was doing school work. but it was not that good, everything sounded the sameeee, idk just not my kind of music. my fav was prob Alone+Easy target

A band that should not have been. To be honest, Everlong is their only song I think worth anything. Dave Grohl is talented to be sure, but the Foo Fighters have never been for me.

Butt Rock

Singles band, and a painfully generic singles band at that. Basically every song on here is indistinguishable from one another and from a lot of other rock of the time. Also Dave Grohl is a huge piece of shit

Not for me

Kako loše, ne mogu. Ne znam tko sluša ovo aktivno, evo stvarno ne kužim. 1/5, 1/10

meni je ovo bilo katastrofalno loše. nisam uopće imao pojma kako zvuče fufajtersi, mislio sam da je kao neka nirvana za siromašne. no ovo je naprosto smeće i preteča bendova poput nickelbacka. štoviše, da mi je netko podvalio ovaj album kao nickelbackov, ne bih ni u jednom trenutku posumnjao da nije nickelback. pjesma »for all the cows« ima neke dijelove koji su podnošljivi, ne mogu baš reći dobri. refren u toj pjesmi, kao i ostatak albuma: smeće

no es mi estilo de música, solo he escuchado una sola canción de ellos o quizás no es mi estilo de álbum

I can obviously imagine why Grohl decided to record this album entirely by himself, but it does make every song sound like a demo; a sketch without any of the energy or chemistry between players that would go into a solid rock track. But to be fair the songs themselves, putting all that aside, are also lifeless and shit.

No me gusto

I like the Foo Fighters, but this album was so meh. Surprised me. But I still like the Foo Fighters.

Ugh this is so dull.

There are worse 1 stars but it’s just not for me

The album sucked, I rlly did give a try at first and it was bad, then I gave it another and it was awful. It was so bad I had to turn it off and go for a walk.

Foo Fighters are rock with a lower case R. Generic and mostly boring. Had a hard time making it threw da hole bit.

Dave Grohl loves to be like “I never even took music lessons” yeah buddy we can tell.

I'll tell my children this is what the music from the Bronze sounded like

a little too aggressive for my tastes. struggled to find a winner track. actually .. ick... hated it. I know there's at least one Foo Fighters song I like but not here.

This sucks ass

Who could have guessed at the time that the Foo Fighters would one day become the most popular milquetoast rock band in the world?

Surprisingly not that great. I like their other songs but never listened to their first album.

Okay, there's something about the foo fighters that i distinctly don't like. i don't know what it is, I don't really know why. I'm so ready to be done with this but im gonna give it a couple of chances and listen to a coouple of songs. 1. Lame, noise. I don't think dave grohl is such an interesting singer, his voice is forgettable. 2. noise noise noise 3. Okay this one is kind of like a bit of beatles thing? It's not terrible. okay, they've bought themselves one more song. 4. ugh, just noise again. Im giving up, i hate this band. The blonde drummer was hot but thats the only saving grace SORRRRYYYYY

i just don’t get it

Listenable but it feels like music meant to be forgotten about: background music.

Not good.

no

I do not care for the music of the Foo Fighters. Just so mediocre. They belong in the same category as U2. Just a waste of resources. The same way AI making music is a waste of resources. They are a fine bar band that no one outside of a 50km radius needed to hear about.

Budget Nirvana. And given that Nirvana were a budget version of US hardcore and heavy rock, this sounds like a bit of a race to the bottom.

nej tack

not a fan

I enabled editing just it go back and give this a 1. In hindsight, it’s insulting for this album to be among the others in this list. It’s boring while masquerading as hard rock. I usually would not want to judge someone for the things they enjoy, but if someone told me this were their favorite album, I would have a lower opinion of them and not trust their taste in anything. I just… hate this.

An important album for the legacy of Dave Grohl, great songs but nothing groundbreaking. 1 - shouldn't be on this list

too much noise that just doesnt sound good together. their music is blunt, especially in this album. they have some pearls like "everlong" and "the pretender", but its not much. their not the typa band to listen their whole albums.

Never listened to this before. Never will again

Butt rock

Not really my kind of music

Foo Fighters are a singles band. Foo Fighters are made for festivals. Every album has a few hits and that’s all you need. Here it’s the first three tracks. It is impressive Grohl did everything on the album and I like that it’s less polished than what follows, it’s very 90’s indie/grunge. I don’t think this album or this band should be one this list.

Meh. Weenie Beenie is it.

Did not like, just noise

Why is this on here lol

more like the Boo Fighters

2/10 Foo Fighters have always left me cold - listening to them just makes me feel like an old man baffled by how this music could be popular with anyone, despite it being a product of a year before I was born. Only the slightly slower numbers really demonstrated any semblance of musical merit to me: 'Floaty' and 'Big Me'. Even then, I'd happily never listen to any of these songs again. Listens: 1

This album wavers between being so incredibly bland to borderline unlistenable. All songs sound the same.

I’d like to give this a passing score, but I just can’t. This seemed sloppy, and disjointed. Vocals were completely drowned out on many of the tracks. If the production was better I would consider this more. Since it’s not, I’m giving it a

Very 90s. Very alternative. Very not for me.

Dull

Nice guys making nice music. Barf.

Nah. Some good moments are good, but bad moments are all over the place and so annoying and neutralizing anything good about listening experience.

Eh. Not my cup of tea.

Great high school band!

I've just never liked the Foo Fighters

Oh my goodness. Tedious, bland, sophomoric. Sometimes it sounded like boring Nirvana. Terrible guitar work. Almost gave up during ‘Exhausted’ and I thought it was finally getting good… but it was just Spotify auto-playing Blink-182.

It’s giving high school talent show

I never liked the Foo Fighters and this album changed nothing about that. They're a soulless, mediocre rock group that have long since overstayed their welcome. No track on their debut has any flair, nor any personality. Just some screeching guitars and distortion. Nothing interesting. With tracks sounding so similar, I even found it hard to distinguish between songs

I hate it.

I have never listened to this album in its entirety before but I know almost every song on here, entirely against my will. Just derivative beige song after derivative beige song after derivative beige song. I hate it so so much.

I'm not a fan of the Foo Fighters. I can't think of any song they have had out I think is worthy of a listen. It isn't they are bad, it's just I find them average. I forgot Grohl recorded this entire album on his own playing. It's too long, sounds like rehashed Nirvana, and generally fairly bland. I suppose there could be a great FF album to be on this list, but I definitely don't think it's this one.

One good song.

Half of the songs just sounded like whining to me

Фу

Dreary, tuneless dishwater stodge. Unless you have run out of melatonin I don’t understand the appeal at all.

Foo fluff meh

Washed out, dragging, boring Garage Rock.

gotta be one of the worst albums i ever heard

Not for me.

booooooo

eh, def feels like 90s grunge, though this was a bit lacking in punch and depth - like a c-tier nirvana

Det här är ett bra album. Men jag tycker inte det hör hemma på listan. Det hänger lite Grunge över soundet och det är dem bästa stunderna. Men inte tillräckligt. Det är snarare kontexten runt det med att Dave Grohl spelade in den helt själv (i stort sett) väldigt snart efter Cobain’s död. Jag tycker This Is A Call inte är en så särskilt stark låt. Gitarren på flera låtar är ganska utblandad i mixen. Det här är inte Foo Fighters bästa skiva, kanske inte ens topp 3 IMO. Bra saft men för mycket vatten.

Ok I missed this one but having a cursory listen it’s not for me!

'this is a call' - catchy. great chorus(es). vocals a little grating but typical for the genre. whinier than expected, only really enjoy that in skramz/emo. 'ill stick around' - MUCH better. catchy guitar riff in the chorus, and much better lyrics. 'big me' - a little boring, but i do like the airiness of the track. softer guitar. getting a weird beach boys vibe from this? 'alone + target' - ok this is a little better than TIIAC but these songs are starting to blur together a little bit. 'good grief' - the start intrigued me far more than anything else has so far. dear god i actually like this. a lot more fast-paced, maybe a little punk influence in the guitar. i think i just hate this guys singing 'floaty' - this track is if jeff buckley kind of sucked a little. meh 'weenie beenie' - everything is blurring again. theres only so many times you can have a chorus of the same thing. this was much more aggressive and yet felt so soulless. 'oh george' - okay now this is better than the previous track. im ignoring the realisation that it sounds like something directly off the sonic adventures soundtrack. much more solid. 'for all the cows' - man what. 'x-static' - by this point im already sighing by the time the next track plays in this album. get away from the microphone. this album smells warm and damp. 'wattershed' - Ugh 'exhausted' - no comment. Ok. thank god its over i am never listening to this again

Foo Fighters is actually pretty lame. I think they accidentally made Everlong, like it was good by mistake, and then every other song they’ve made is dorky.

I remember this album from middle school. Or high school. Whichever. Pretty stoked that Nirvana's drummer was going to carry on and the first single was pretty decent. Then the next single wasn't. Then there was the kinda cute video aping the Mentos commercials but the song wasn't really all that great. Borrowed the album from a friend and was pretty disappointed altogether. Maybe they just needed to get the bad stuff out because the next album was pretty great.

Liked one song

Fav: Good Grief Least Fav: Weenie Beani Supremely boring and generic, was very happy for this to end. Dave Grohl can’t sing

Not great. Could not get through it.

Laut und sonst? Gefällt mir nicht!

Väldigt generiskt, vet ej varför det är en "must hear"

nirvana wannabes...not even close to the talent.

Heavy rock band. One hit wonder. Not impressed with most of their music.

Todas as músicas parecem iguais, mas a isso não culpo a banda mas sim ao gênero musical que me parece aborrecedor

Not as good as I thought it was going to be. Nothing to draw you in.

i just dont like foo fighters

It’s mid. Honestly the story behind the album is very neat, with Grohl performing the entire album himself, but it’s a little needlessly noisy and generally uninspired imo. I won’t come back to it, and it’s neat only in novelty

To me it all sounded the same. There was one song that I thought was ok - but not worth my time / effort to find out which one. I never got the whole Nirvana 'grunge' thing at the time (in my opinion all the songs sounded almost exactly the same) and this was, to my ears, just a slightly heavier version of the grunge sound. Good work on Grohl for doing it all himself - I'm just not a fan.

Never liked them; still don't

Not an album I wanted or needed to listen to

1 Star (2/15)

Reminds me of how I need to live a Live Mas Mentality. This is Josh. No stars.

Sounds awful, loud/tin-y, the last track has consistent buzzing noise/interference noise which is unbearable

I really didn't enjoy this. I expected going in to like it given that I've enjoyed some of their later work but somehow none of this gelled with me and just sounded kinda noisy.

A travesty. Dave Grohl should be skinned alive for the fucking Food.

I’m glad Dave did well for himself.

If Rock and Roll was a color, Foo Fighters would be beige.

ugh...generic store brand rock. But hey some people really like Dr. Thunder.

God, I can’t stand Dave Grohl’s voice. I don’t know why. He’s obviously a great drummer. This is just nothing. It does nothing for me. I don’t hear a hint of originality. I’m sorry.

🎶мы все в американском фильме 98 года про хай скул🎶жизнь слишком коротка

Awful

Actually really enjoyed the experience of listening to this with the knowledge of what comes later. Like a little silly fun album. Apparently he wrote the lyrics twenty mins before recording, love it. Just dudes being bros making some songs. Anyway, shouldn't be on this list.

Did not listen, very biased by my own personal experience listening to the radio and other reviews.

I don’t like Foo Fighters

dave fucking grohl. what a weapon. he's the type of guy that would give himself the tagline of nicest guy in rock. i still to this day can't understand why no one has noticed that he's just really american. stick a tv camera in front of most americans and they instantly know how to do an interview and be generally nice and positive. now he's got the nickname its part of his sales pitch and self preservation to ham it up. i've got his number though, i can see through it. he's just a straight up bell end. he worked out the formula for generic rock and has churned out the same shit ever since. he's the american Bono. this is my impression of a foo fighter song. gonna sing some quiet now gonna sing some quiet. shout, shout, shouty shout shout shout. heeeyyyy. i bet you did that in his voice. this album is as good as it ever got for them. i could probably have listened to it all the way through if there was a diferent singer but i just can't fucking stand his voice.

Still no

crazy nigga isw its crazy man isw bitchass niggas anyway

Rubbish
