CD Review: Foo Fighters - Echoes Silence Patience & Grace

For today's cd review I decided to write about the latest from the Foo Fighters.

I though I would never write a positive review of the Foo Fighters, but looks like I stand corrected.

I have listened to past Foo Fighters albums and I always thought they were nothing great. I admit it, I downloaded previous copies of older albums to sample and I just wasn't happy with them. I guess they had a track or two that were okay, but I swear I didn't keep the download. I deleted the download after a few tries of listening and I just couldn't get into them.

So lets fast forward to the present. The Foo Fighters have released another album called Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. Hmmm, okay, I told myself to give the boys another chance. And the only reason I listened to the cd was because Kevin from The Fitcast podcast had recommended cd on his show.

So are ready for my thoughts? Another great cd has entered my collection! This one is in regular rotation on my ipod playlist. And what a relief it is that a NEWLY released cd has something I listening to regularly. And this is important because sometime I get the feeling that new music is just not good enough as it once was. But let's get back to the cd.

So I can say that I listened to the cd right through, no fast forwards or skip thrus. I enjoyed listening to every track on the disc. Here's a few of my personal favorites:

  • Let It Die
  • Stranger Things Have Happened
  • Summer's End
  • The Ballad Of The Beaconsfield Miners

The cd is a mostly a hard rock'in disc with two notable ballads; Summer's End & The Ballad Of The Beaconsfield Miners, both 5 star tracks.

In conclusion, a GREAT cd from beginning to end. Pick up your copy of Echos Silence Patience & Grace today from  your local music outlet or Amazon.

No comments:

We believe everyone likes some new music once in a while. Terrestrial and satellite radio are too format-driven. We believe people flip stations all the time to suit different moods. We also believe people actually enjoy lots of different music. This show is where you can find some old classics, hidden gems, and music you will not otherwise hear played on mainstream radio. Sometimes, you just need something new to get you off. You can find that something new right here on CLIMAX RADIO. Enjoy!
