Ok, so everyone knows Foo Fighters. They have been around for 15 years, and have ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl as their frontman. So no doubt I have always respected them. BUT. I have previously never liked them much, even though I wanted to. Its like, they had a superpower, but weren't using it in the right way, like using your ability to burn through metal with your eyes to open cans of tinned tomatoes.
So I have always thought they can do alot better than what they had done on their previous albums, and have been waiting for the day that they do. And BOOM. They've only gone and done it. Very well. Their new album, Wasting Light, is like they've finally realised where they are going with their music, and making some bloody good songs in the meantime. So this makes me happy. Thank you, Mr. Grohl, for making your best songs since Nirvana. Although of course they could never be as good as Nirvana. Of course.
Song or something or whatever:
Foo Fighters - Arlandria
My favourite song on the Wasting Light album (so far) and is testament to the Foo's progress from what I felt like was their "stuck in a rut" phase.
