The Foo Fighters - Wasting Light V The Color and The Shape
After many listens I am still drawn to 'The Color and the Shape'..
'Wasting Light' kicks off with 'Burning Bridge' which is a a damn top drawer song from ANY band. Then again 'Color...' kicks off with 'Monkey Wrench'. That song means so much to me. 'Wasting Light' has 'Dear Rosemary', 'White Limo', 'Arlandria', 'These Days'. 'The Color and the Shape' has 'Hey Jonnny Park, , 'My Poor Brain', 'My Hero', 'Enough Space' and the mighty 'Everlong'. After much thought I think 'The Color and the Shape' wins. However ..only just. |

There isn't a single track I skip on it which is very rare for me (at a push I'd say 'Back and Forth', a song I liked at first, is the worst of the bunch) but TCATS has three or four songs I don't really care for. Even Dave has said there are quite a few weak tracks on TCATS, 'See You', 'Doll', 'February Stars' and 'New Way Home' are all so-so songs IMO. I love 'Monkey Wrench', 'Everlong', 'Walking After You' and 'My Hero' though. Wasting Light is my new favourite of theirs with One By One my second favourite I think, but I'm guessing I'll be in the minority there

Really like Wasting Light but mainly because it reminds me of Color and the Shape which has always been my favourite Foos album.

Got to be Wasting Light for me. I really like the Foos and like stuff off all their albums but imo WL is their strongest album and there is not a tune on their that I think is average/won't listen to. I also love how different it sounds having been recorded on the old style tape and in Dave's garage than the studio quality of their other albums - sounds quite raw which I like.
I'd also go so far as to say that out of all the albums I have bought this year, Wasting Light is easily my favourite so far - quality album. |
