Foo Fighters: One by One
A good CD, just not up to par with their previous work. Usually they seem to have some really killer songs that really stand out, making the other songs (which are usually still strong) seem kind of like filler. To me this CD lacks any of those great songs, and while the songs are strong on this one, they just don't have that memorable quality that other albums had. I also think that lyrically Dave Grohl half-assed it...a lot of the songs consist of the same chorus over and over again (ie Times like these). For me it's been a great album to study to since the words are so often repeated it's not fun to sing along to and so I concentrate on doing my stuff. If youre a big fan of the Foos, then the CD is worth just to have, but if you only have casual interest, I wouldn't bother, pick up their debut CD or 'There is Nothing left to lose' instead of this one.
