So yesterday(April 12, 2011), The Foo Fighters released their 7th studio album, Wasting Light, to great praise. Many are stating that this is the band's best work since 1997. Although the album may sound simple at times, do not be fooled. Wasting Light is the record that cements The Foo Fighters' staying power in rock and roll. Recorded in front man Dave Grohl's basement, the band did not use any computers. This means the album was recorded solely on analog tape. Wasting Light also features Pat Smears return to the band's line up.
Wasting Light is close to incredible in my opinion. The album covers several rock genres, which makes it enjoyable for many. The Foo Fighters have some amazing ballads on this record. They definitely take back the throne in that department. The heavy metal fans are covered as well. Some songs boast three different guitar riffs. A guest appearance from Krist Novoselic, former band mate to Grohl and Smear in nirvana, gives Wasting Light a similar sound to nirvana album Nevermind. This is a record you play on repeat for many months, and one that will generate talk for some time to come. Please Check it out!!
