Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace


Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
After picking up 2 Grammy's, the Foo Fighters most recent album has moved Dave Grohl and company into rarified rock company. Proclaimed as a 12 track milestone that showcases and reconciles the band's every strength and sensibility in the most complex and confident Foo Fighters album to date. Although Rolling Stone only gave 'Echoes' 3 1/2 stars out of 5, there is no question that the album sales and air play have voiced the only opinion that counts. Take notice of 'Long Road to Ruin', 'Come Alive', and 'Home'. 'Come Alive' and 'Home' are classic Foo Fighters, reminicient of their underapreciated classic 'Next Year'. Plus, a little slow rock, strategically placed around pure alt. anthems, makes this album stand out from the pack. B+
