Foo Fighters Greatest Hits

Product Information

These are big songs, full of cracking choruses; they are, at their centres, loud and proud pop songs dressed up as rock numbers simply because of the amplification addictions of individuals involved. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

So, the title Greatest Hits delivers what it promises - top-notch Foo Fighters material bundled on one disc.I am baffled that this is still an affordable vinyl release, as it should be worth 2x3 times the going rate here today. Not to be confused with "Our Best Songs" or "Our Favorite Songs," it is a collection of the songs that have defined our band's identity to most people over the years. Over the course of a full album the Foos can drag – 1997’s The Colour and the Shape may be the exception – but here the four-piece never allow attentions or affections to wander.

I've noticed this newer records also have thicker cardboard and a stronger spine (if it's gatefold) than the old records, a nice touch that should help avoid your new records ending up old and battered like your parents records (if they're anything like my mum's albums anyway!

The album features classic songs such as: 'Everlong', 'Monkey Wrench' and 'All My Life' as well as two new songs 'Wheel' and 'Word Forward'. Some songs sound perfect, while others sound distorted to a point where it's just not pleasant to listen to anymore.Three singles are included from 1997's The Colour and the Shape album (" Monkey Wrench", " Everlong" and " My Hero"). The former Nirvana drummer has always exhibited a fine ear for enormous pop hooks, and with the Foo Fighters has enjoyed considerable chart success. Unusually long - namely 14 years and six albums long - the Foo Fighters have taken their time to release their first best-of album.
