Reviews (page 8 of 14)
Pretty cool that this was an anonymous creative (and SOLO) project by Grohl following the end of Nirvana. He already had his sound established.
I liked it as much as I can like a rock album, not being a big fan of the genre.
It's alright. Doesn't sound as good as the first time I listened to it years ago. I have grown and it has aged. Stand out song - Big Me
Perfectly fine, still developing sounds, Grohl is fine.
I mean it's good because it's Foo Fighters, but I feel like they had better albums. This was a bit sparse and I didn't recognize any of the songs. Didn't really hit for me.
not sure about this one. I mean it's good and all...
Memories of senior year and that one time Tanner brought over Shyla and I cooked spaghetti for the first time and didn't drain the grease.
As a nirvana fan i felt like foo fighters abit lackluster, the songs where good im just not a fan of the vocal delivery with some of these songs and it kinda just goes for foo fighters in general, i think Dave Grohl is a better drummer then a vocalist
Decent but like overall I’m pretty anti foo fighters but I was pleasantly surprised
Levi would be very proud and dissapointed in me, this just didn't hit like he hyped it up in high school
Take everything good out of Nirvana and you’ll get Foo Fighters debut album. So generic, so biteless. Even when Grohl tries to be edgy and angsty, like when shouting “I don't owe you anything” in I’ll Stick Around, it’s so blunt that you don’t believe him, you think “what a fraud”. Gee, it doesn’t even deserve 2 as it couldn’t even be called shit, so generic and plain it is (and that’s the case when 3 should be more embarrassing to the artist than 1)
Foo fighters are mostly a miss for me. And I'll say it, I don't care for Everlong. That being said, maybe it was the day that I listened to this one, or maybe I'm having a change of heart, but This album was a solid "alright" to listen to. Probably won't revisit anytime soon
as someone who only listens to foo fighters every once in a while, it was actually kinda nice to get this album because i had never heard it. harkening back to yesterday's point, i genuinely believe the guitar work in this album is more "punk rock" than yesterday's, in spite of all the weird claims that it was foundational. still can't get over that. honestly so sad that nobody told me about "Weenie Beenie" until now. this song fucking rules.
not my favorite foo fighter sorry david
I really like these early Foo Fighters albums. If they stopped making music after like 1999, they’d be held in pretty high regard I think.
A raw but solid debut for a band that was just going to get a lot better with their next two albums. Top tracks: "Big Me," "This is a Call," "Floaty"
I don't think I have ever heard this album before. Not the biggest fan of Foo Fighters, I don't mind them but it goes into the "passable radio music" category. This album was very average even in that standard. I don't know if the album meant a lot when it came out but listening to it now wasn't anything special to me.
Foo Fighters are a group that I really tried to enjoy as a kid, but I couldn't get through a whole album because I just found them a bit dull. I did make it through this album, but I also don't remember any of it. I literally couldn't name a single track I listened to. Nothing stood out. Nothing grabbed my attention/focus. It's generic-sludgy-background-rock. Listenable, but mostly in that you won't really realise you're listening to it. Very very low 3.
Raw and unfiltered
I've always enjoyed listening to the odd Foo Fighters song when it comes on the radio, but not so much that I've wanted to buy their albums. This first album is all Dave Grohl, before the band. It's good, post-grunge rock, but I still don't want to buy the albums.
Wiki tells me Dave Grohl wrote the first Foo Fighters album and then recorded it himself in six days, with the assistance of producer Barrett Jones. I’ve never really engaged with Foo Fighters, so the album’s origin story was new to me, and inspired some serious listening. It’s a very good record, but unfortunately doesn’t arouse the same kind of emotional response the Nirvana records did, but how can it? Kurt Cobain’s vulnerability was at the core of everything Nirvana did, whereas Foo Fighters sound supremely confident, and far too frothy for serious scrutiny. It’s a fabulous pop grunge record, but I’m not sure that’s a good thing. Needs more angst. 7/10
I like Foo but this is just kinda meh. You can tell it's early and just figuring things out. But also that greatness isn't far off. 2.75/5
Impressive that Dave recorded all of it himself! Some good songs but far from the finished article, and there are much better albums by them - colour and the shape came out only 2 years later! Must have some cultural significance from before my time because otherwise I don't really understand how this one made it on the list
Some really classic Foo sounds in this album…nice to see they’ve stayed true to their original voice. Found some tracks a tad more grungy than expected…but I guess it was the mid 90’s. Didn’t find any ‘bangers’ at n my opinion, but a decent opening and an enjoyable enough album.
Pretty mid. Not Creed
Another album that I'm slightly surprised at its' inclusion on this list. It's a very good album, and the similarities to Nirvana are most notable here. But I feel like there are better Foo Fighters albums that warrant a place. That being said, it's raw and grungy, and most tracks hit the spot. Favourites: Alone + Easy Target Floaty Exhausted
Cheated on wife
Count me as shocked that the Foo Fighters were Dave Grohl & only Grohl on the first record. Grohl essentially picks up where Nirvana left off, but it's really more than that. Cobain's suicide is clearly the thematic underlay of the project, & the album is as much a working thru as it as a talking about, i.e., grungy cathartics take on a more specific meaning here: 'I've taken all & I've endured / One day it all will fade, I'm sure'; 'Beg me to talk about it / I could stand to prove'; 'Hate it, hate it / Hate it, hate it / Hate it, hate it.' I do appreciate the tragic backdrop to which this album is an answer, & some of tunes have memorable bite & punch, but as far as the music goes overall, it's legitimately emotional but not all that interesting. 'Raw' won't suffice.

I have no idea if they're popular now or are even still together and making music... I don't have any of their songs on my favorites by years lists. Oh, I see they are touring now and last released an album in 2023 so I guess they are still together. During: OK, they sound a little like Nirvana wannabes... Ooops, apologies to Dave Grohl. I see now why they sound a bit like Nirvana...Wow, the dude wrote all the music and played all the instruments on this album? That put's this in a whole different light. I still don't really care for this type of music that much but I am in awe of what he did, nonetheless...this got a little tiresome towards the end and I had to skip through the last few tracks.

Good album but melodies and arrangements do get a bit repetitive. Some classics though
I remember owning this album and the Colour and the Shape in middle school / high school. And while I distinctly remember listening to the latter on repeat, I can barely remember this one. Now I know why. The Foo fighters self-titled debut is really just three recognizable songs, admittedly each unique in their own way, and a bunch of songs that are pretty generic rock and all kind of sound the same. It's a punky or album that I remember, but not necessarily in a good way? I don't know, this was just mid for me. I really did enjoy the first three tracks, but those were the radio hits from this one. The rest of it didn't do much for me.
are all the rock songs like this ?
I like a lot of the Foo Fighters’ singles (and it’s no exception here) but a whole album becomes harder to get through, with a rock sound that can be a bit generic and by the numbers in places.
I like a lot of Foo Fighters output, but this album is not as good as some of their later releases.
Meh. Not for me. I’m not the audience.
Not cool, the Foo Fighters. I feel an immense sense of dread at the thought of having to listen to this album. I can't help but think of those poor souls who were damned to an eternity in prison for downloading the Foo Fighters (preservetube.com/watch?v=LZgeIReY04c). It's highly likely that I'm familiar with the Foo Fighters' music in some way - likely through radio osmosis, but no thoughts are immediately coming to mind. I'll hedge my bets on a 90s alt rock album, albeit with a slightly more hardcore, metal-y sound. Here goes. Alt rock, grunge, melodic hardcore. I was more or less there with my prediction, right? I wasn't into this album on the first listen, but I'm more favourable to it now that I'm playing it back on shuffle as I write this review. The music is certainly competent. The growling guitars have a decent level of bite to them. While they don't break the mold and are somewhat samey throughout, they're never unengaging or boring. The same can be said about the vocals. It might be sacrilege, but I prefer these offerings from Dave Grohl over the equivalent output from Kurt Cobain. What can I say? I prefer a little energy over the disaffected drawl which traditionally comes from grunge. The better vocal performances of the album typically have a weightless feel to them, slowly oscillating between a high and low pitch with some gracious, stressed syllables. A welcome contrast against the heavy, domineering instrumentals. Overall, yeah. It was decent. Grunge still isn't my deal, but I have some respect for this album. Book time. The band was created by David Grohl of Nirvana. Most of the material on this album was written while Nirvana were still active. A "grunge-pop" album apparently, which I suppose I can believe. He performed the guitars, drums and bass himself in addition to recording the entire album in a week. "Big Me" has some "Beatle-esque melodies", apparently. Yeah, this albums seems to have earned its place in the book. It's impressive that Grohl was able to strong-arm much of the project by himself. They could probably do with a second list album, if I'm honest. I've seen the cover to their follow-up album a couple of times while poking around on the Internet, so I like to imagine that album has held up well, too. For the time being, I cosign this inclusion.
Cool that he did all the instruments but it was MID
I still enjoy some of this but taken as an entire album, it gets kind of flat by the end.
someday i will treat you good
Classic Foo-ey's sound. I didn't mind it.
Wanted to like this more than I did. The opening tracks fell flat for me but it picked up around the middle again with Good Grief and Floaty. Lost it towards the end again.
Sure sounds like childhood. It's simple, flat and in your face but it's not bad. Leaning 3 or 4.
Rock. A decent album but just okay.
I was 14 when this album came out. Grunge was everywhere. Me and my friends passed this tape around. The Big Me music vid was a cultural touchpoint. I don’t really like much Foo Fighters past this album - nostalgia only takes you so far - but I still love the raw energy of a man who felt compelled to keep making music. Some filler tunes bring it down to a 3/5
S’alright I guess
2,5
3*, can see the bones of what was coming but not my bag
Some headbangers here classico metal though
Fine, but not really for me. A bit to loud but has some fun songs.
Absolute blast from the past. Fun, rock and pop vibes, much better than more recent Foo Fighter albums in my opinion. However, is it top a 1001 album, nope. It's not pushing the boundaries, nor is it leaving a legacy that stands the rest of time. At best, it's more fun than Nirvana, but the Foo's evolved from here with Colour and the Shape, as well as Nothing left to lose. I enjoy the album, but it's not worthy of this list.
this is fine, none of it caught my attention but it wasn't offensively bad or anything. diet nirvana.
Not my vibe good nontheless i like the energetic parts but they can be few and far between and repetative
Generic butt rock album. Not bad, just not something I'd listen to.
This is fine. Foo Fighters have some absolute bangers, but most of it is just fine
I never got into Foo Fighters despite being a huge Nirvana fan. It’s impressive that Dave Grohl wrote and recorded every song on this album, and I appreciate that it’s less polished than later Foo Fighters albums. But I just can’t connect, even though musically, it’s a perfectly serviceable album.
It's quite good but nothing groudbreaking or outstanding. I think I liked the last track best where it turned a bit shoegazey
Joa ist schon gut
Definitely not their best work, but it was decent enough.
Fav Songs: Big Me, I'll Stick Around, This Is A Call, Alone + Easy Target Least Fav: X-Static 6.4/10
Foo Fighters – Foo Fighters (1995) On Day 67, the Foo Fighters' debut was an all-around good listen, especially considering it was entirely a one-man job. Dave Grohl's production capability is impressive here; he managed to make a solo project sound like a full, high-energy band. While I caught some visible shades of Nirvana in the sound, the album ultimately didn't do enough to pull me off my feet. There were definitely some good tracks, with Big Me and For All the Cows standing out as personal highlights. However, as a body of work, it feels a bit too "decent" without having enough to consistently bring me back for more. It’s a well-executed start to a new chapter, but for me, it sits at a solid 3/5.
Album 21/1001. Listened 3/6/2026. It's ok, but one of those albums that didn't age particularly well for me. I love 90s grunge rock, but this didn't quite hit it for me.
Not bad but not really much to write home about. It felt a tad repetitive after the first 30 minutes. I'd gladly listen to its songs as standalones in a playlist or sorts. But as an album I didn't really enjoy it that much.
This is, for better or worse, just fine. Nothing really special, but nice to listen to. So, it's kind of average for me. It may grow if I kept listening, but I don't think I'll find the time.
Jeg har hørt ett Foo Fighters-album, og det er deres nyeste (som er overraskende bra, må sies). Dette er deres første. Dave Grohl måtte ty til noe etter bandkompis Kurt Cobain sin død, og dette er resultatet. En solid alt-rock-debut. Oppleves likevel som noe ordinært og uinteressant, i tillegg til å være kraftig “frontlastet”. Top 3: This Is a Call, Exhausted, Good Grief
Not FF's (Grohl ig here) best work. Genreric sounding rock, tho I enjoy Dave's vocals. Standout: Good grief and Big me
Soft 3
Great album. The long drawl mid-song in Exhausted is annoying but the rest is just solid rock.
ehhh, nothing bad, but not particularly impressive either.
Started strong but a bit repetitive toward the end.
I remember when this came out it was so different from what was around at the time. Classic rock feel without being classic
I like it - brings me good memories
def not their best album. Decent radio rock, that's it
i remember when Taylor Hawkins died, i lived in Bogotá at the time, awful news to hear.
Töissä. Oli ok
Yeah pretty good but classic rock isn’t really my thing anymore
Some good songs on this debut. I like the Foo Fighters.
I enjoyed it but you can feel the after effects of nirvana and you just find yourself comparing it to nirvana
bom album de rock com excelentes baterias
Sounds like a debut album. There's some interesting moments but it didn't really grab me in any direction. Big Me almost sounds 1950s rock in some places.
Disappointed in this one. Not bad, but kind of bland.
I’m way more of a Nirvana fan than Foo Fighters. It’s hard to believe this album came out 14 months after Kurt died. This album has some well known FF songs. Their music is just too blah for me.
It’s fine rock music. I think I do agree a bit with some other reviews that there is something generic about it but tbh this feels very approachable for someone who isn’t a rock fan for the most part (that’s me).
generic easy listening rock…. but nostalgia holds it together
meh
Reasonable rock album, very good for a debut.
This is the Foo Fighters debut album, and it’s mostly hard rock. I did not like the screaming in “Weenie Beenie”, so a downgrade for that. Also the heavy metal on some tracks annoyed me slightly. Otherwise it was acceptable, so all in all it ends up with three stars.
A guy in my middle school who was big into Mormonism was also BIG into the Foo Fighters. But that isn't why I never got into them* (except for that one music video); it's because the vocals are soooo uninteresting. I guess to be fair they do have a distinct sound, but for whatever reason I don't care for it. Maybe because like Nickelback, all the songs sound the same. This album is just 'Learn to Fly' x12. Better than Led Zeppelin though. *I say "them" but it turns out this is a bit of a Nine Inch Nails situation; it's really just Dave Grohl. Kudos to him (but also that makes a lot of sense). Lowlight: 'Weenie Beenie'
Blast from the past. It’s good but there are other FF albums that are much better, but it’s impressive what Dave Grohl did on this album
Soft in the knee Nirvana
A good debut that is instantly recognisable as Foo Fighters. A solid three stars.
Pleasantly surprised by this one. It doesn’t have the highs of the Color and The Shape but arguably is a more consistent album overall, and it’s a hell or a lot stronger than later life dad rock Foo Fighters. Good album
I wasn't feeling it yesterday, but I came back to it this morning for the second half and had a great time.
It's ok, heavy enough at times, catchy enough at times
Hard rock just isn’t really my thing
380/1089 - This might be "Boss-Baby-ish" of me but I hear a slight trace of The Police. The first track has drum references to "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" and "Driven to Tears."
My earliest memory of this was going to try to buy it at release from Best Buy. Their weekly Sunday circular showed it out that week, so I had my parents drive me there with whatever little money I had scrounged up to buy it. Well, new release day was Tuesday or Wednesday at that point, so they didn't have it. Never ended up buying it, for whatever reason, and it would be years before I actually listened to it in full. It's a good album. Not great, and I don't think we'd be talking about it too much today if it was from someone other than The Drummer from Nirvana right after Kurt killed himself. Dave shows a lot of range as both a guitarist (musician as a whole, really), and a vocalist, neither of which I would have expected at the time. I won't pretend I was super tapped into music in middle school, though. Solid record, and worth a spin now and then, but nothing particularly ground breaking.
Big me is such a timepiece
Pretty decent, I think the story behind the album is very poignant but the music itself didn't really stand out to me much.
hab nicht aufgepasst, aber nicht schlecht
I thought this album was fine. Sonically it’s good, but there weren’t a lot of songs that stood out to me. The handful that did, however I thought were excellent and am definitely going to be adding in rotation. The majority of the album just felt like this is cool but i wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to this.
Never really taken to the Foo Fighters and this album has not helped change my views. First track sounds like a nirvana track that failed to make the cut and does not improve from then on.
Used to be a massive foo fighters fan, have seen them live twice yet was in a way surprised to see this album make the list as I believe The Colour and The Shape is much superior, with this album pretty much being put together by a one-man band in Dave Grohl. First half of the album is strong and the closer Exhausted is a very underrated song in the FFs catalogue. Having said that there is a fair bit of material in the second half of the album that I find inferior to what the Foos would put out 2 years later. I’ll Stick Around and This is A Call remain great tracks but this album is lacking a truly massive single that the band would consistently churn out at least one of with every album following this for 20 years. Overall a decent listen and an album pretty reflective of the mid-90s alt rock era that was coming out of grunge’s peak, nothing game changing.
Feeling pretty neutral
Retroactively saying that Abbey Road was 4 stars so this makes sense.
Gefühlt noch nie gehört, gibt bessere Alben von ihnen.
Ich hatte das Debut schlechter in Erinnerung. Finde aber den Nachfolger auch noch besser. Alles in allem ein solider Start einer Band.
7/10 – Good
Makes you appreciate how important Kurt Cobain was to Nirvana as a creative force. This is perfectly servicable, if fairly generic, 90s grunge. But it seem to be to Nevermind or In Utero what one of Ringo or George's solo albums was to Revolver.
We're supposed to rave about the Foo Fighters, but they don't do it for me. This album better than I expected, a couple of ok tunes, but it doesn't go anywhere. Just gets a bit dull after a while.
I little bit of harder rock trending toward emo. Like green day. More my generation of 90s rock. I do like some FF songs but this album isn't doing it for me.
Used to love this, now have a hard time bc of Dave. Hard to separate the art from artist behaving badly
"Nicest guy in rock" Yep, yep, we're on the worst timeline folks
Weenie Beenie riff is cool
This was ok. Never really listened to this band before. First half was better than I expected, second half kinda blended together. For a one man show, it sounds pretty good, but it’s not really my genre. Torn on how to rate it. I think for my taste it’s more of a 2.5/5, guess I’ll round up cause I didn’t hate it?
Just hootin’ and hollering at this point. I’m sure there’s probably lore and what nots but I just wanted to listen to something nice to start the day. ya maybe I’ll be in mood to listen to this type beat some other time but yes drums obv, and repetitive lyricism, and some songs do got cool wavy sounds.
You need to listen to this album LOULDY. Despite the racket, it's also tuneful in places. Big Me has always been a personal fave. This Is a Call great calling card to kick start all things Foos. A rare example of me liking something that feels like I ought to be wearing double denim to truly appreciate.
Sounds a bit like nirvana
buen disco, se disfruto, pero nada de otro mundo. no me lo compraria en vinilo por ejemplo
I like Foo Fighters well enough, but their debut album is a weird choice for this list. Think I only knew 3 or 4 of the songs on this and mostly not their big hitters, it's a different era of the band that they didn't stick to. It's alright.
Fine and all, Nirvana just does the whole thing better in mine opinion. Background music for me. Favorite song: Exhausted.
Not my favorite Foo Fighters album. The popular songs from the album are decent, but I didn’t care much for the deeper cuts. I think they’re a great rock band but there was a bit too much noise on a lot of the tracks for my liking.
It was a mid album to be honest. I do love the songs: Big Med, Floaty, and Exhausted, but also this is the first album I skipped a song because I didn't like it, so it's just mid honestly.
expected more
This is an energetic and engaging album. It’s not overly polished and it’s not that deep, but it has rocking guitar and drums and you feel drawn in. It definitely feels like a great start to a band (once he got the band part) that went on to do great things.
The fighters of foo are born. This is a difficult album to like … it’s Grohl as a member of Nirvana trying to find his own voice. But the is so little room for others when Cobain is around, and he was around when most of the songs were written and was a huge posthumous presence for the other 4. There are signs of the promising future on the recognizable hits, but the rest is just extended versions of Territorial Pissings, Grohl trying to stretch the skin of Nirvana to make it fit his heavier rock and roll tendencies. He will learn to blend the two styles better, write better songs and collaborate with better musicians soon. Foo will start to soar on the next album, The Colour and The Shape. But it doesn’t really happen here just yet.
Drummer from Nirvana did pretty well here. I really like this album because I think we see a bit of who Dave Grohl is. This album feels therapeutic, not in lyrics or theme, but in discovering ones self. Imagine being part of the worlds biggest band then waking up one morning and it's gone. Dave chose to dive into creating an album alone and find his own voice. The album is a project in which more was learned than produced, but it's a great album none the less. Daves recent history with Nirvana meshed with his punk roots, cool sound and a great success.
I appreciate that Dave Grohl is a talented guy and I was a fan of Nirvana, but Foo Fighters has never fully clicked for me. I like tracks like This is a Call and I'll Stick Around, I always thought Big Me is too gimmicky with the video and all. Most of this music leaves me wanting something that's not there. This is not Nirvana, but I don't think he was trying to create Nirvana Mark II. It's his own sound and maybe it's his attempt at catharsis after Cobain's suicide, I don't know. I give him a lot of credit for that, but I just don't like this enough to give more than a 3.
como siempre no quiero escuchar este genero sabes, igual no se q tanto opine, no voy a hacer opinion track por track en este, si hay algo q me llame la atencion lo pondre y yap. esperen la primera cancion la hizo una sola persona me sorprendi, bno la segunda no esta tan mala. me estoy durmiendo y la vdd el album no me ayuda en nada, esa amiga q se duerme en una fiesta. medio grunge, no suena mal pero la vdd no es lo mio. la mejor cancion hasta el momento es la 5 pq me gusta cmo suena la guitarra y la voz del vocalista ? esta 6ta tmb me gusto jeje q hice yo para merecer estas recomendaciones ponganme prince, pop algo porfa ooo jorge pq la cagasteee. bno la 9 tmb me gusta cmo ese jazz a medio de la cancion dale eso si. en general no es como q me guste mucho pero tampoco es malo, igual habian albums q un poco mas antiguos q tienen mas propuesta q este (como cosa q pienso es q es un album q intenta proponer pero realmente las propuestas ya estaban idk if i explain myself ok) con toda la sinceridad del mundo no quiero escuchar mas rock por el momento necesito albums de mujeres o pop ns. no opine nada no es malo es meh.
It's good. Sounds like the Foo Fighters. An impressive achievement given that nearly everything was played by Dave Grohl. I will be listening to this again, but probably not more than other FF albums.
too rock and roll for me
Good debut from former Nirvana drummer
Classic new rock
Starts out strong, however lacks the longer the album goes on. Keeps a good cohesive feel throughout, but is average overall
Many different sounds and takes on the genre, started strong and then kinda fell off hard.
Fun listen but not their best work
I don't think I've listened to a full Foo Fighters album in a long time - I've kind of thought of them like a John Mellencamp where the singles are catchy and enjoyable and I wouldn't change the station if they were on but the album tracks weren't worth a full dive. Listening to this one again after all this time changed my mind a bit - the singles are clearly the stars, but it's overall very catchy. The lyrics are pretty forgettable, but they don't get in the way of the hooks and the melodies and most of the non-single tracks are still pretty dang fun. It's definitely a bit front-loaded and could stand to be 2-3 songs shorter, but way more fun than I remembered and definitely earns it place on radio rotation.
muy rock para mi, me gustaron las primeras canciones pero a la quinta ya estaba un poco saturada.
Great band, album is solid! Rock is not my favorite genre so perhaps this influences my review.
This seems like neither good angry grunge nor catchy pop. Neither fish nor foul, kind of boring.
Eh
Highly competent, inoffensive rock. Dave grohl seems like he should be running an HR workshop.
mediocre? don't hate it but i wouldn't reach for it much
This sounds like an uncanny valley nirvana record. Nice, inoffensive album that I enjoyed listening to. A bit bland though. I would have enjoyed a more daring approach but I cannot fault them for failing to do something that they have not tried to do.
44m 12 songs 5/10 Some good ones Lyrics a bit cringe but good
Yep, that's 90's rock.
Weird that this is the FF album to make the list Its not the one I reach for when I want some Foo in my life Weenie Beenie is one of the less commercial cuts, and probably my fav here
Favorite song is "I'm Still Around", just like it was 30 years ago. A decent album, but their sophomore album was better.
6/10 Fascinating to hear that Foo Fighters sound fully formed straight out the gate. Odd to hear it without it being on any of the huge hits.
Ganz okay eigentlich muss man einbisschen reinhören
First 2 songs carry the album. The rest are mediocre
okay, quite samey but good guitar
no ha sido muy de mi estilo mm
Solid album, I can see why people like it, but for me all of the songs blend together. Not something I’m likely to listen to again.
Irgendwie cool
Samey. A bit thrashy
Nunca tinha ouvido muito foo fighters, mas gostei do album no geral. É divertido e deu para abanar a cabeça, deu me vibes de anos 2000.
not for me but still enjoyed it
Ganske ok rockeskive
While I think Foo Fighters in many ways are a straight rock band. They are also at times very fine indeed. Given this is the infancy of it all and is all Grohl it's pretty remarkable. For me thought it still is perhaps a little long and an artist perhaps finding his feet? Good to listen to again after so long.
Nice to listen to once and pretty hype of course but not something for me
Didnt hate it…didn’t love it. Honestly expected more since I already know how good everlong is before going into this. Saved: None HM: Weenie Bernie, exhausted
It has its moments. This album has some baggage that can’t easily be extracted from the listening experience. Of course it carries the fallout of Nirvana, but this would also become the template for modern rock, which has been played well past its best before date.
Less interesting than I had hoped.
Decent album, not necessarily any stand outs for me but still good vibe
unc album
It's fine, nothing special
Fine
6/10 could be higher when listen to more. Enjoyed a lot of songs on the album.
Love the foo fighters, but this is not one of their best albums IMO. Lots of different sounds on this one from grunge to 60s pop rock (think Beatles). Not an album I would probably buy
Overall rating: 7/10 (good but not fully my taste so only) Favourite tracks: Floaty, X-Static, Big Me
3 .
I want to like the Foo Fighters more than I do. For the most part the song writing is just boring.
good album, nothing exciting, 3
Das Debut-Album. Ordentlicher Rock, keine Lieder, die ich kenne. 3-4/5
ALBUM 1 - FOO FIGHTERS RATING: 7/10 STANDOUT TRACK: Alone + Easy Target THOUGHTS: Pretty catchy, a tad repetitive, but as someone who's not big into grunge I enjoyed it. The rhythmic playing of guitar is great and I thought they were creative with the vocals
Decent angsty
Used to love it when younger. Enjoy it less now
Rough but with some bright spots, still too slow to be my cup of tea
Fine
Boring.
Unfailing
fooFIGHTAHS 3/5 good 'n all but there are other things I like better.
This one was a bit puzzling to me. While it is certainly impressive that Dave Grohl recorded the entire album by himself, it feels weirdly uninspired and generic. The sound, while being very load and energetic, feels very one note and makes the songs bleed together in my brain where it's hard to remember any standout songs on their own, save for Weenie Beenie. It lacks a lot of the defining style and songwriting chops of later Foo Fighters tracks that would eventually come out as well as other projects Grohl would later be a part of. Overall, not a terrible listening experience, but nothing really noteworthy or interesting on it's own and honestly, if it was released by anyone else other than Grohl I feel like it would have been quickly forgotten about. Favorite Track - Weenie Beenie
I enjoyed this album. I liked that each song didn’t sound like the next but they all had a Foo Fighters feel to them. I also noticed their influence on a lot of other musicians I’ve liked which was cool. 3.5 rating probably
Biz nostalgischi Züg wege paar Games wo Foo fighters drin vorcho sind aber sust gar ned sone Fan vo dene Giele. glaubs 3 Kuu Kämpfer chani trotzdem geh wills mi nie gnervt het aber sehr ade obere Grenze!
Not bad, but didn’t have anything can hook me
A few stand out songs but nothing which appealed to me greatly.
middling - a few bangers
Great! Some songs were a bit to rock for me, but good overall! Fav song:for all the cows
3.5, rounded down because it was solid but didn’t like blow me away good
Lärmig-grungige Rockmusik die sich ganz gut weghört aber nicht im Ohr bleibt. Scheint aber zu reichen, um auf so einer komischen Bucketlist zu stehen. Ich kenne die späteren Alben der Foo Fighters nicht, könnte mir aber vorstellen, dass man dort besseres finden könnte.
Decent album
Ahh the nostalgia. Honestly the best or second best Foo Fighters album, despite its rawness and weird lyrics. Their sound on later albums is just so fucking bland. 7/10
Slightly disappointing. Like all Foo Fighters output it's a mix of enjoyable and completely commercial. It's music almost designed to sell.
Decent stuff here from Satan himself Dave Grohl
Uncomplicated enjoyable thrash
Just because something is commercially popular doesn't mean it belongs on this list. I know the Foo Fighters would go on to make much more successful albums than this, but the presence of this album on this list seems to be just because what it represents: Dave Grohl's foray into a new band post-Nirvana. It's very OK. Back half noticeably sags.
Good record from my high school years. Big Me and This Call brings back memories of my younger days
- I knew a lot of the songs on here, but I never got into Foo Fighters. The album kind of grew on me, though it still feels Nirvana-lite. I sometimes get an Elliott Smith meets Nirvana vibe. - I wish the songs were either heavier or poppier - this tries to blend the two, but it ends up feeling kinda washed out. - Dave Grohl's guitar work is good, but his voice is a little thin. - The production feels muddy.
I've only heard one Foo Fighters album before and didn't enjoy it, so I had low expectations. I was surprised to find a lot to enjoy in this album. So much so that I might listen to the album again sometime. Whilst there's a lot of distortion used on the guitars it's not overpowering and the melodies are pretty good overall. The vocals are mostly a bit too close to punk style (loud and brash) for me but even so they worked well alongside the music so not too bad.
Insanely impressive that this was made by one guy, sadly I thought it got samey quite quickly.
Fun rock record. It's interesting to hear Dave Grohl's first outing as a frontman. You can always tell that one person made a record because it sounds more congealed in my opinion.
Nothing really stood out for me!
Just ok album. I do like the last 1/3 of songs more though. Still, I've never really gotten the draw of this band. It always seemed a little more overproduced than I'm ready for. 3/5
Sort of just average. Sounds like 90s rock, definitely derivative of other stuff from the same era. None of the songs are bad by any means, but nothing really stands out that much either. Everything just sort of blends together, and what it becomes is enjoyable but not particularly exceptional. Probably the most aggressively average album on the list so far. The Foo Fighters are a little too pop inspired for me, and I can definitely hear that on this album. Standout Tracks: Alone + Easy Target, Floaty, X-Static
I know literally nothing about the Foo Fighters but for some reason I’m so unexcited to listen to this
This was his debut, and from what Wikipedia says was basically a solo album, all Dave Grohl. Seems like he wasn’t exactly sure if he wanted to be a pop/grunge guy or a metal guy. The metal tracks are not great, at all, in my opinion. But there are plenty of good songs on here. I want to give it a 3.5.
This one was fine. I do love the Foo Fighters but this album was just meh
Good but basic
Very average rock.
I've always hated the Foo Fighters on principal. This was fine tho
Good but waiting for another album from this century!
Definitely the most raw version of FF. Not interesting enough to listen to it again, aside from “Floaty” and “Exhausted”, which I really liked.
Decent album, no real stand out songs
Not really my cup of tea. Was it amazing in 1995? Probably.
Props to Grohl for doing this all himself. I’ve always found Foo Fighters terribly bland. It’s clear to see who had the X factor in Nirvana. I think there was so much good will for him and his ‘nicest guy in rock’ persona. Can still hear Nirvana in this though, which is a plus. Swithering between 3 and 4
More like 3.5
They've never been my favorite band, but I dont really dislike the Foo Fighters either. 3 stars for this one; there are others of their albums that I like more.
I enjoyed it, haven't really listened to them besides the hits. It has a little bit of a generic rock feel
Not quite there yet. Not sure why this is here; always thought of them more as a singles band. A weak 3.
buen albun rock alternativo y grunge. para ser album debut piola.
Truthfully I cannot claim to be that familiar with Foo Fighters beyond their smash hit in 'Everlong'. I am perhaps more attracted to Nirvanna's grunge than the post grunge era. But I certainly enjoyed this album. It feels like something I would gain much more from if I was able to give it more time as opposed to the album a day method. Standout tracks: Exhausted
Energy
Impressive that Dave did this by himself. However every song sounds almost the same
Aggressively mid, but with some spotlight moments. Was fascinated to learn that Grohl played everything. But seems kind of stuck on neutral and in need of an editor.
This was the album that the world discovered the drummer from Nirvana was actually Dave Grohl, super musician. It’s rumored that he recorded every part on this album by himself. I have mixed feelings in this album, well, Foo Fighters in general. On one side this is a kick ass rock album with key tracks being Exhausted and Wattershed, and Weenie Beenie is a ballbuster too. The problem I have with Foo Fighters is it’s all a strumming wall of sound, and after a while the Fortissimo constant In-Your-Face audio assault leaves you…no pun intended… Exhausted by the end. This album deserves to be here, but I think I need a little Alt-J or Simon and Garfunkel
Random thoughts: * I like and respect Dave Grohl and his musicianship a lot but for whatever reason I never really got into the Foo Fighters. * I listened to the audiobook version of his autobiography(The Storyteller) a few years ago and was enraptured by his stories. * He talked about this first Foo Fighters album and how he was so lost after Nirvana and the loss of Kurt that he just poured everything into this Foo Fighters album as a purely artistic and emotional experience. * I was blown away to learn everything was all Dave. Writing, instruments, vocals. * I listened to this one several times yesterday. It never really grabbed me but my favorite tracks are: I’ll Stick Around and Big Me. * I do remember the video for Big Me. I recall it being a fake Mentos commercial and found it quite humorous in the 90s. * While Dave is the musician that best represents the 90s, this album is solid but not spectacular. I’ll listen again but I doubt it will ever be one of my faves.
It's amazing to me that Foo Fighters is one of the biggest rock bands of all time. I hear the grunge and the alt and the rock influences in this album, but I don't think that it rocks. I've been reading up on the lore of this album: Grohl recorded every vocal and instrument, it was his therapy after Cobain committed suicide, he didn't expect it to be commercially successful but it was, and then he hired musicians, and launched into the stratosphere. I just don't really care because it doesn't rock. It doesn't move me. It doesn't make me excited or want to dance or want to cry or scream or anything. It's just sound with no heart or soul.
This was fine, a bit monotonous I think, nothing stood out as particularly interesting
Much has been said about the “foo” that was to be fought by this band. Was it a colloquial shortening of the word “fool?” Was it a bastardizatipn of the martial art “kung fu?” Probably that one. It’s not a big mystery. Uhhh I don’t really like this kind of music. This is the end of grunge and the beginning of Nickelback. It’s somewhere in between those two entities and I look forward to seeing exactly “how this reminds me” of the great Alberta stink rock outfit that’s we’ve come to know and despise. Ok Foo’s, start fighting. This is a Call - Somebody likes the Beach Boys. No, that isn’t a playful playground tease towards a girl who has a crush on one of the guys who is constantly down on the beach spilling dune buggy motor oil into rare starfish habitats. This is a pretty decent song despite it reminding me of commuting to the my mail delivery job in my early 20’s. I’ll Stick Around - Whoa! Riffs?? Repetitive vocals and that distinctive Dave Grohl vocal that the years have been cruel to, but we’ve got some fire, and some god damned riffs. Incredibly easy folks. Big Me - uhhh what was that? Alone + Easy Target - + ratio. Ugh I hate speaking like the internet. Why do I do it? Learned verbal ticks from endless scrolling that I’m fully sure is as addictive as some drugs. Good Grief - The good kind of grief, or a heart wrenching tribute to one Charles Brown. Floaty - This is strating to “float (y)” by me. Weenie Beenie - We have dumb 90’s megaphone voice everybody. Why was this effect so popular? But hoooo boy that riff. I like the nods to metal in this. Could do without the megaphone, but keep this energy high. Oh, George - This is a nice little break. There are distinct moments here that remind you of the time. This feels more radio friendly, except for the rare guitar 90’s solo which you’d never hear back then. Well, some bands were moving away from it. Whatever. If you’re reading this, youre probably not looking for a music historian’s take on the record. You’re probably the most bored you’ve ever been because you’re like 16 reviews deep on the Foo Fighters debut “about” page in this website. For All the Cows - Finally, a song for our bovine friends. It’s pretty catchy too. X-Static - Isn’t this another band. No, that’s Static-X. Don’t they suck pond water? I don’t have time for that. One bad record a day please. All I can handle. This one isn’t even so bad! The song is kind of a snoozer, but you know. Wattershed - Uhhh. I kind of forgot to type anything. That happens a lot. Exhausted - Atmospheric black metal intro into a sad 90’s indie song??? YES! Great way to close this thing. This had more art to it than I expected. I’m still not in love with his vocals, but they were less obnoxious here than they would get on future releases. In many ways, this is a meat and potatoes rock record, but it has enough interjections of uniqueness and excitement to take it past that into the territory of intrigue. This was not an incredible album, but considering I expected a monster energy soaked ozzfest ticket in audio form, I was pleasantly surprised. Now, hand me alien blaster, I need to experience a psychotic episode during laser tag. 3 HIGHLIGHTS: This is a Call, I’ll Stick Around, Weenie Beenie, Exhausted
2, 3, 5, 10. Rather boring overall; a safe debut. Rating: 2.7/5
mind numbingly mid. the raw sound of the record as a whole can be appreciated in some aspects, but i found myself struggling to even reach the end.
Good but I never think that they got near to Nirvana levels of brilliance more grunge light.
Meh. 7/10.
No. 318/1001 This is a Call 3/5 I'll Stick Around 3/5 Big Me 3/5 Alone + Easy Target 3/5 Good Grief 3/5 Floaty 3/5 Weenie Beenie 3/5 Oh, George 3/5 For All the Cows 3/5 X-Static 4/5 Watershed 2/5 Exhausted 3/5 Average: 3,0 Just an average album. Kinda disappointing that they didn't include „The Colour and the Shape“ over this album.
As it turned out later, Dave Grohl was the artist making the most impact after Nirvana. However, this wasn't on display on this recording yet. Pretty uneven, very few good tunes, pretty hard rocking, it sounds as if he's still finding his way.
Kadett, HDH - Aalen, Deutschland. Okayes Album, aber halt die Foo Fighters.
So so average. It turned out I'd been hearing Foo Fighters songs for years and just never noticed cause it blends into the background so well.
Best Track - "Big Me"
This was OK, but nothing really grabbed me. Some nice moments, but then it got a bit repetitive. I’m sure it was super influential, and obviously Grohl did an amazing job producing this single-handed, but not really my thing. Not horrible, but it just dragged a bit and seemed longer than it is.
To be honest, very generic. Having recently had Nirvana's MTV Unplugged album, the contrast is huge and shows how much of their creative distinctiveness was via Cobain. For me this just doesn't have that special thing that sets it apart.
My colleague and I like to play a game with this site, where we make each other try and guess an album based only on 1 star reviews. I thought this might be a good candidate, but alas even the reviews are extremely generic.
aHHHHHHHH I'm bummed this is the first foo fighters album I'm getting. Not my favorite, but gotta start somewhere.
Ok, vaikka tyylillisesti ei ihan mun makuun. Taattua Foota.
Ihan kelpo debyytti!
I miss this Foo Fighters. The record comes out of the gate with strong songwriting and arrangements. I do wish he had hired the band to record this instead of doing it all himself though, it misses a little bit of the "band in a room" energy that the songs deserve. Energy lags a bit through the back half.
A 3 or 4.
Surprised how much I like this, after finally giving it a good chance. Great hooks! The Foos would become more and more formulaic and “chromed out” from here, but the debut rocks with the best of them. Great drumming, too.
definitely a nostalgia trip. good post grunge album. a good listen but not something i would necessarily return to over and over
Laying out the Foo's blueprint. I like that this is before he got way too shouty. Overdoing the shouting really detracts from the songs but I guess that's what the hitmakers require.
Maybe I haven’t spent enough time with this album, but I’m struggling to figure out why I should want to return to it. I’ve never loved the highly distorted grunge sound, but I can appreciate what Cobain and Nirvana were doing artistically. In that case, there’s a point to the ugliness of the music. Here it feels like that point gets lost in too much of the album. There are certainly highlights in the first few songs, but this album generally retains the low points of grunge and discards a lot of what makes it worth listening to. The album is at its best when Grohl is working through the demons that remained after Cobain's suicide. This Is a Call, I'll Stick Around, and Good Grief offer hints of the anthemic power rock that Foo Fighters would grow into. While it might be more pop-forward than anything Nirvana would have put out, Big Me serves as a nice reprieve from the relentless distortion we get through most of the remaining tracks. The album takes a downward turn on the second side, lacking the standout tracks that keep the first side interesting. The only true point of departure from uptempo power chords are the verses of For All the Cows, which makes for one of the more interesting songs on the album, despite the puzzling lyrics. The rest of the side falls into a pattern of uptempo, highly distorted power chords that become fatiguing, at least to my ear. Weenie Beenie and Wattershed were particularly difficult listens for me, and by the time I came to the album's closer, "Exhausted" was how I felt. This is by no means a bad output from someone trying to right the ship after tragedy struck, but it doesn't have the qualities I usually look for in great albums. The best songs don't hit the same highs, and the deeper cuts aren't interesting enough either musically or lyrically to keep me engaged. While a technically impressive achievement for Grohl to produce this by himself, the album just doesn’t stand out to me relative to what Nirvana had released previously or what Foo Fighters ended up becoming. It's certainly noteworthy as a response to Cobain's death and in light of what Foo Fighters would become, but I'd almost always rather be listening to something else.
Plenty of decent/good songs, but didn't speak to me. Dave Grohl is pretty dope though
Fine
Not gonna listen to this one. A couple fine tunes. I was huge into foo a decade ago but the shine has washed off. I’m glad this is guitar riff focused instead of the chorded nothing they’ve devolved in to.
Average didn't grab me
This is exactly what I thought it would be. My mom and my uncle and a bunch of other adults in my family really liked the Foo Fighters because they were kinda funny. The singles on this album were such staples of late 90s rock radio, but I don't really love any of them. 3.5 overall.
i think this is the most boring offering the foo fighters have, but it's still got some high points
This was good, Foo Fighters quickly established a very strong sound and identity in this album. However, it does feel a little samey
The individual songs are great to listen to, the album felt a little samey though. Other Foo Fighters will certainly rate better, but this is a solid listen anyways.
Cool album, but not a big fan of their first album
Not a patch on their next album, The Colour and the Shape, but fine to listen to. I don't think I recognised any songs; perhaps Floaty, which was my favourite. Dave Grohl is a great drummer.
An interesting historical curio as a side project that grew to arguably be a bigger deal than the band that spawned it. Has it's charms as a scrappy little one-man project, and Grohl is a great performer, but it gets a little samey and lacks that extra energy that comes from a bunch of people playing in a room together.
Kudos to Mr Grohl playing every instrument on the album. I am totally on board with this cathartic experience for him in the wake of Kurt Cobain's death. I don't really have one outstanding track from this album but as a whole it's solid and well produced.
Very much a “hey I used to be in nirvana album” Which was the zeitgeist for the 90s era this album was produced. There were pockets of future Foos coming through which I enjoyed. But felt more like a what could have been album for nirvana than a stamp of full independence. 3/5
Et ret fedt rockalbum der nok ikke ville være det som essentielt hvis ikkebandet blev mere succesfuldt senere
Fanger FF på et tidspunkt hvor de ikke lyder som et band der spiller kæmpe stadionner men mere som et band fra en alternative rock scene. Det er sgu ret fedt faktisk.
Great rock album, post-Nirvana. The foundation for their awesome career. (But not as good as the albums after this)
Definitivamente el disco me gusta mucho más cuando Dave Grohl le mete caña, pero fuera de esos momentos, tiene canciones que se alargan demasiado y que no me vuelan mucho la cabeza. Es muy interesante el deje a Nirvana que tienen algunas. Props a Dave por tocar todos los instrumentos del debut. Lo hizo él solo y después fue que formó la banda, loquísimo. A la playlist: I'll Stick Around, Good Grief, Weenie Beenie
Best Song: This Is a Call. You can see glimpses here of what went on to become the Foo Fighters recipe for success: starting soft and continuously raising the musical stakes of the song until it ends in a much louder, more blistering place than where it started. Worst Song: X-Static. I'm very glad that the Foo didn't go in this mumble-rock direction for the rest of their career. Overall: As someone who went through a bit of a Foo Fighters phase when they were younger, I expected to like this more. It turns out I mostly listened to stuff from later in their career. Here, it feels like Dave Grohl is still stuck a bit in the past, making a sort of Nirvana-lite (especially in the vocal department). It's not bad, but also not so exciting. Just generic.
Could only listen to half of it. They are fine, just not my cup of tea.
6/10
Decent album. Definitely something to listen to, but nothing that grabbed me and made me listen.
Uit nostalgie luister ik toch wel graag naar Foo Fighters. Al heb ik deze plaat eigenlijk nooit helemaal gecheckt. Bijzonder wel dat Grohl binnen een jaar na Nirvana deze plaat in elkaar flanst. Alle instrumenten speelt hij zelf in, zonder band. Het slaat aan en één van de grootste post-grunge rockbands is geboren. Gaaf verhaal. De kwaliteit van de muziek zal later nog wel toenemen, want de echte bangers ontbreken op dit album. Prima, wel leuk om naar te luisteren. 7/10 Highlights This is a Call
Estuvo interesting
Impressive album with some killer tracks. The first quarter of the album feels more like their next release, 'Color & Shape'. The rest of the tracks are gungier and less polished but are prime examples of where they came from and how their sound evolved.
So when this first came out I listened and went OK. Today I listened and went OK. I've seen them live, they are fun live. I do enjoy them, but they are pretty generic rock overall. It's not bad, it's not great, it's good. No new ground will be broken. You won't hear something that will change your life. You'll find out you know more of their tunes than you realized and maybe have some fun. They are a band that if there was a greatest hits album I would 100% buy it. It would be the only Foo Fighters album I would own.
Decent enough background noise
There are some classics on here for sure. I’ve never heard the album in full, but appreciate learning that their first release is maybe the most gritty I’ve ever heard Foo Fighters sound. Songs like Weenie Beenie still go hard. The guitar on this album is just a straight wall of sound. I can see how this is an important album, especially since it’s one of those projects where it’s literally a one man band situation. There are some guitar parts on this album that just sound fun to play. I’m not too high on the album as a whole, but it’s a fun listen and definetly worth listening to once and I appreciate it for what it is
A bit too overstimulating for me but i can understand why it’s iconic
Thoughts before listening: The first Foo Fighters album and a very important album for me as a kid. The Foo Fighters had the aggression of the grunge and punk rock I loved at the time, but with a real focus on melody and catchiness. This is a pop record with loud guitars, and it contains some of my favorites from that era. Review: This album really frontloads the hits. "This is a Call", "I'll Stick Around", and "Big Me" are 3 of the Foo fighters most well known and loved songs. The rest of the album stays in a similar lane of poppy rock with crunchy guitars although I can admit the songs for the most part just aren't as good as tracks 1-3. There is definitely a strong nostalgia for me with this album that I can tell is missing from the negative reviews on this site. If I had not been obsessed with the Foo Fighters when I was 15 I would probably be more likely to point out that its a fairly generic 90s alt rock album, but the familiarity wins out for me. Still though, the weaker middle and end of this record only gets 3-stars.
Feels way less campy and/or abrasive than you'd expect for an album with what looks like Marvin the Martian's gun on the cover. Every time I listen to Foo Fighters, I think that I could easily get into them, but then I never actually keep it up. Sorry Dave, but Nirvana's the only one keeping my attention!
They're not my favorite band but I like them...especially a certain handful of songs that are not present here. This isn't my favorite album by them but it's solid classic 90s rock. I enjoyed hearing it again.
alt-rock redelijk
This album was fun. Felt very "Nirvana" but less angry. Pretty cool that Dave Grohl did the entire thing himself. There are some great songs here. I HATED how static-you "Exhausted" sounded tho. I restarted it like 5 times because I thought there was something wrong with my speakers. "Big Me" is a CLASSIC. Actual rating...3.5 Liked Songs: "This Is a Call" , "I'll Stick Around" , "Big Me" , "Alone + Easy Target" , "Floaty" , "Weenie Beenie" , "Oh, George"
To me it just kind of blends together. Not bad but not distinct
BEST SONGS: - For All the Cows - Exhausted
the foo, they came back and played a show in slo the day i had this album so that's pretty cool. not my favorite of theirs tho. 6/10
Just never a foo fighters fan. Music always seemed bland to me.
good grief больше всего зашла в альбоме
decent but i took more notice of the music when spotify started playing the colour and shape album afterwards
Good 90s rock album paved the way for some awesome later on Dave Grohl albums
I probably should've listened to this when I was younger. I'm not going to lie, it's pretty damn good. There's a lot of influences here, but I'm hearing quite a bit from Bob Mould and Sugar. That said, I will probably never choose to put this on. 90s alternative radio absolutely killed this band for me.
A mixed bag. Some songs feel like leftover discarded Nirvana songs, others are less derivative and much more enjoyable. In all this record is neither a high- or a lowlight in its genre or this list.
It's Foo Fighters, its aight. Maybe back in the day it was way cooler but it doesn't really do much anymore, some songs sound like they had some big Elliot Smith influences which is kinda fun.
It's a good album but not as good as The Colour and the Shape
just doesnt hit like it used to
assez chill
Better than I remembered.
It has some good musics like big me, but other than that it's the same thing
Ikke et kjempebra album. Men det er jo imponerende at gutten har alle instrumenter og vokal. Flink type. Bra album til at det ikke var planlagt utgitt en gang. Liker spesielt Big Me og Weenie Beenie. Hva er greia med pistolen? Solid 3,5/5.
