This is a brilliant album, perhaps even the Foo Fighters most complete album so far. I own every Foos album and although I love them all, I feel that there are generally a few filler songs on each album among the gems. However I find it difficult to pick faults in this album. As soon as 'The Pretender' bursts into life you are carried on a monumental journey of rock brilliance. The album flows so beautifully throughout with that raucous opening continued through to the middle of the album when a change of tone occurs and the lighter yet fantastically well thought out anthems of 'home', 'statues' and 'but honestly' give a nice sort of contemplation time at the end of the album after a good 7 or 8 songs of jumpy rock. It is difficult to pick favourite ... Read More:

The Colour And The Shape: 10th Anniversary Edition
This album never ages. It sounds as good today as it did when it was first released. My favourite Foos album. Absolutely brilliant.

I love this album! At first I thought the second cd was boring, but after having heard it a few more times I liked it more and more, and now I think I like the quiet one even better than the loud one. I love the melodies and the calm sound, it`s great!

The Live album Skin and Bones is a brilliant and varied album from the Foos. Feauturing classics such as 'Times like these' and 'best of you' peformed live by Dave Grohl and co. - a must-have for Foo fighters fans - the lyrical performances are strong and emotive, even though you're not witnessing it live, the recording is excellent. Grohl is stripped to his acoustic core, in this brilliant and inspiring live album, truly amazing!

This album is really good. Come on - as if you didn't already know that! With the Foo Fighters there is a certain level of quality that you expect- and they always deliver.
The BEST songs on the album are 'Breakout'(I Love the screaming!), 'Learn To Fly'(A pop song, but still good), 'Live-Skin'(A good song for various reasons). There are other songs that are good as well. Such as 'Gimme Stitches', 'M.I.A, ect. but the first three songs I mentioned are really good and you will remember them for years to come.
The album only has a few bad songs which suffer from being very boring('Generator').
The album also has some acousic(y) songs to offer such as 'Next Year' and 'Ain't It the Life'. So basically, if you like the Foo Fighters - buy this album!! ... Read More:

I'm glad that I had got The Colour and the Shape and Nothing Left to Lose before I got this. To me is has always sounded rougher and a lot less commercial than the later albums. I like it more now but it took me a while to get into as it isn't as polished and some of the songs sound a bit messy and dated.
One of my favourite songs from this album is `Exhausted'. I thought there was something wrong with my CD when I first heard it! It's made up of static or feedback (something like that I'm not a technical person when it comes to music), and drumming. You really get used to it after a couple of listens and it sounds a lot better but very moody and distant sounding. It was the same with the rest of the album really- at first I wasn't sure, but I like it better now, ... Read More:

This is a collection of really well crafted songs, in fact, 'All My Life' is one of my all time favourite songs.The album has great vocals and guitar throughout but what on earth have they done with the drums and bass. Both sound as though they were recorded in a padded cell giving the impression that the drum kit was cobbled together on a budget of less that $100. In my dreams this album was produced by Jimmy Page with Flea on bass and John Bonham on drums. 'One by One' could have been a classic.
