| The Foo Fighters- The Colour and The Shape | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| By Steve Province | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Foo Fighters have always been in a gray area for me�I always put them into the same area as Toadies and Silverchair. This is why I was surprised by how good The Colour and The Shape sounds. This is the band�s sophomore effort, and it�s a very good one at that. Dave Grohl (lead vocals), formerly of Nirvana, does a very good job on this album. The Foo Fighters light, poppy styling contrasts with the hard, fast-paced nature of the music in Colour, which makes it hard to place exactly where these sounds are categorized. Some of the highlights for this CD are the radio smash �Monkey Wrench�, �My Hero�, �Everlong�, and the awesome track �Walking After You�, a radio acoustic. The song �My Hero� doesn�t sound like a song that would affect your emotions at first, but by the end of the song it�s tugging on those strings like a fisherman in a Godzilla remake. One of the cute songs that I thought was just great is the track �See You�. This song is so simple and it is just easy to listen to. Most of the songs on this CD give you a feeling of happiness, because the songs are so cool to listen to. I think one of the reasons Foo Fighters is doing so well on this album is they spent a two-year period between this one and the first getting their stuff together. Dave Grohl has become a very good singer in this time frame, and despite his musical limitations, the vocals are awesome. Pat Smear�s guitar style is hard and poppy at the same time, and it�s mostly acoustic, which is very cool. This is a good listen folks� |
