In Your Honor by Foo Fighters

Pros: two discs o' love
Cons: some weaker moments

Have you ever thought about how much easier life would be if you could just split yourself in two? Imagine it: you could send the loud and angry you to take out everyone who's ever wished you harm, then send the quiet and soft-spoken you to court. You'd ...

Pros: Solid rock on one disc; a new side of the Foo Fighters on the other
Cons: Doesn't quite live up to double-disc expectations

One gripe I've been hearing about the Foo Fighters' new double-disc album In You Honor is that it should have been pared down to a single disc with only the best of each disc represented. While In Your Honor does contain a ...

Pros: Some hard, some soft, quite the variety pack!
Cons: Separation anxiety.

Before I say another word, I've gotta show you something. Back in my review of One By One, the Foo Fighters' last album before In Your Honor, I said this: I, for one, anxiously await the next time he does [come back]. And just think, ...

Pros: Better at rock and better at the slow stuff than their recent efforts
Cons: Scattered duds on both the electric and acoustic discs

With the releases of There Is Nothing Left To Lose and On e By One, it became readily apparent that the Foo Fighters' warring artistic impulses were diminishing the quality of their product. Where the ...

Pros: the rocking disc, a couple of rare bright spots on the acoustic disc
Cons: most of the acoustic disc is just plain bad

For a guy whose band hasn't even released a new album since 2002, Dave Grohl sure has been busy. From helping out Queens of the Stone Age and Tenacious D, to battling Courtney Love in court over the fate of Nirvana ...

Pros: “Best of You” and a few scattered successes.
Cons: The loud CD is a mess; the acoustic CD is a bore.

I’ve always considered the Foo Fighters to be a band capable of pounding out one or two great singles, but who are unable to make a complete album’s worth of solid material. Look no further than their 2002 release, One By One, for proof of that. ...

Pros: Most of the rock disc
Cons: The latter few songs on the rock disc, pretty much all of the acoustic disc

"I’ve got another confession to make"… When it comes to music – and in particular, concerts – there’s a couple of regrets I have from 2005. I wish Kelly Clarkson could have come to New Zealand like she’d planned. I ...

Pros: A good collection of both rock and acoustic charm.
Cons: It has it's fair share of duds along the way.

Above all else Foo Fighters have always been consistent. Whenever modern music was getting a bit stale you could always rely on them to hit back with some good old fashioned, straightforward rock. So as an extra bonus on the arrival of their new ...

Pros: Perhaps its infatuation, but “Honor” may be the best record I own
Cons: I’ve only reviewed the Foo’s odd-numbered albums. What’s up with that?

The Foo Fighters now make up 10% of my entire record collection. Seeing that all typed up now, it just seems pathetic, but it’s true. As of June 14th, as of the very second I obtained this 2005 masterwork “In Your Honor,” the number of albums on ...

Pros: Great mix of moods and tunes
Cons: 1 or two ordinary (but worthy) tracks

One Loud - One Not So Loud: That's how the marketing is going in the UK for this, the latest offering from the mighty Foo Fighters (still think this is the coolest band name ever!). And by God they are right! Disc #1 is loud and is, I think, the best ...

Pros: Clearly outlines the Foo Fighter’s styles in two definitive discs
Cons: But then, the quality suffers almost straight off too

The Foo Fighters have likened their most recent, 2-disc release, to a chocolate: the hard, rich shell on the outside, with softer caramel floating abundantly once you get inside of it. That’s a surprisingly honest comparison when you like In Your ...

Pros: great disc 1
Cons: disc 2 not so great

I was never a big Foo Fighter fan. I heard one or two of their songs and thought they were alright but I wasn't huge fan. But my husband was. He loved Nirvana and after the death of Kurt Cobain he followed the careers of the other members closely, so ...

Pros: One very good disc
Cons: One less good disc

In your honour The fifth studio album from the Foo Fighters Released 2005 Before the review how about a short introduction to the band. The current line up is Dave Grohl singer and guitar, Nate Mendel Bass, Chris Shiflett Guitar and Taylor Hawkins ...

Pros: EVERY SONG! No track needs skipping
Cons: The cd booklet doesn't have the lyrics to look at while I listen

After being pretty disappointed by Weezer's new cd Make Believe, even after having my expectations raised by descriptions by the Rolling Stone, I didn't what to be let down again, so I ignored the reports from Dave about how the record would be their ...

Pros: Some Good Rock N' Roll: No Way Back, Best Of You, DOA
Cons: The Acoustic CD was a bad idea, plain and simple

I Fell In Love With "Best Of You" And even more with "No Way Back" So i purchased this album. I was excited about the 2 disc idea but after i listened to it, i figure they should have done away with that idea and just made more heavy rock songs, that us ...
