About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Since the first Foo Fighters album was a collection of Dave Grohl solo recordings, their second, The Colour and the Shape, is in many ways their official debut, and it certainly does sound different than its predecessor. Producer Gil Norton has tightened up the sound considerably -- his control was so tight that drummer William Goldsmith left the band during the recording, leaving Grohl to record the rhythm tracks for the bulk of the album. Certainly, Norton's big, shiny production makes The Colour and the Shape sound more professional than the debut, but the presence of a full band makes a difference, too. The full Foo Fighters make Grohl's songs heavier, not punkier, which may be a little unsettling to fans of the debut's ragged, amateurish edge. It's also strange that the album has such a glossy, arena-ready sound, since Grohl's songs are introspective, quite different than the endearing punk-pop of its predecessor. They're also not quite as catchy as before, but the band compensates by delivering them with a brutal energy. Still, the lack of immediate hooks prevents The Colour and the Shape from truly catching fire. [The 2007 expanded Legacy edition included six bonus tracks.] Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

October 12, 2007: Okay, so I don't know who wrote the editor's review for this album, and frankly I hope I never meet them. To say that this album is amazing is an understatement. Every song meets it's fullest potential without leaving any disapointment--in other words, there are NO skipable songs at all. Most of the tracks you can rock out hard to, but there are also a few suprising songs that are softer but just as moving. This is an album that has been an inspiration to almost every new rock band since it's release, and has been listed on many musician's personal all-time favorites list. Buy this CD if you don't already have it, and if you have it buy another one!! It's that good!
