I’ve found that there a lot of albums I review where I don’t actually have that much to say, even though I still want to review them of course. I do have story style posts that I do enjoy doing aswell.

Thus, I thought I’d set myself a challenge, make this review of the third Foo Fighters album, There Is Nothing Left To Lose, as little words as possible. Less long-winded to read too I think! Definitely the softest Foos album – yes they can be quite heavy for me – I was inspired to review it after seeing Biffy Clyro at Kendal Calling and doing my softer playlist for them. Here goes.

Major key. Power pop. Melodic. Would skip first track and turn volume down during screaming sections of “Breakout.” I know I can’t take heavy music. Features “Learn To Fly.” My favourite Foos album.

See you next time!

    For some reason, I cheerfully ignored Foo Fighters for the longest time. Luckily, this changed several years ago, and now they’re at least generally on my radar screen. That said, I’m still nowhere close to being a Foo expert, and I don’t specifically recall listening to this album before. That said, based on sampling the first few tracks, it sounds pretty good to me. “Learn to Fly” is a catchy pop grunge rocker!

      Yes, to me Dave had a very Beatles influenced sense of melody on the earlier albums, I think that aspect got a bit lost later on

        One thing I’ve really come to like about Dave Grohl is the man truly appreciates music, regardless of whether it’s his own or whether it comes from other artists.

        Have you ever heard the 2021 album the Foo’s put out under the moniker The Dee Gees?
