    I pre ordered the NY cover as a gift for a friend. Just got hand delivered to me by someone holding USPS packages, NOT wearing a mailman uniform. Scared the ever loving Jeebus out of me.

    After a couple of listens, I find Sonic Highways a little boring. Yes it was never gong to be as good as Wasting Light which I think is one of their best, but I did expect more from something that was this hyped.

    The best two songs are Something From Nothing and The Feast and the Famine. OK songs are Outside, In The Clear, and I Am a River. Throwaways are Congregation, What Did I Do?/God as My Witness, and Subterranean.

    I've listened all the way through 4-5 times now. It's a pretty solid album, but don't think it's anything special. Definitely doesn't compare to Wasting Light, but still good.

    I think the GA floor sold out, so overall pretty good I think.

    My thoughts exactly, except with Wrigley. Gonna be an amazing experience, but a classic arena show will be nice to have, too! Can't wait til Tuesday!

    It's a good album, but it's not great. Maybe the excellent TV show got my expectations up a little too high but as a standalone album you don't really get the references and influences, and it sounds like most other Foo Fighters records. Don't get me wrong, that's not a bad thing, it just feels a little underwhelming (especially after Wasting Light).
    The first 3.5 songs are really good, and I reckon Dave's voice sounds as good as ever on The Feast and The Famine, but then God As My Witness kills the momentum of the album completely. I mean "takes-it-down-a-dark-alley-and-beats-the-shit-out-of-it" kills it. The second half of the album is good but none of the final 3 songs really stand out for me yet. Maybe the last episodes of the show will change that.

    Have not stopped listening to the new album. Vinyl came today. I like it and the HBO shows are an awesome bonus. I have a free download code that came with the vinyl if anyone wants it.
