    I hate the rain. I was going to walk to the mall to get it. Time to find someone with a car to drive me there.

    Bought the album at J&R this afternoon, and will give it a first listen after I get home from work. I watched Back and Forth last night in anticipation, as this is the first Foo Fighters album I have been excited about since There Is Nothing Left to Lose.

    Something like, as a teenager and Nirvana fan, got the first album as soon as it came out, and immediately loved it. Got the second album when it came out, became one of a few albums that is absolutely essential to my collection. Still easily in my top 50 favorite albums ever. Saw them live I believe off this album in 1998 in Albany. Got the third album and liked it, but didn't seem to be quite the same. Saw them live with the Chili Peppers on that tour in Albany. Got One By One. Maybe listened to it 4 or 5 times, and thought it was okay, but felt a little punchless possibly because it failed to deviate from what they were already doing. The next two albums...I heard In Your Honor maybe once, and never listened to the next one. Just sort of fatigue.

    However, when the buzz started coming in on this album, with Butch Vig producing and obviously with Novoselic playing on a track, I was intrigued, and have been steadily regaining my interest. I also watched their Wembley Stadium performance on Palladia by chance one day, and the combination of the two have me very excited for this release. I'm ready for some great rock music!

    Yes...it's a piece of the master tapes. I saw a dimwhit on another forum (not 10C) asking people to send him their piece of tape so he can string it together. Yeah...that'll work. Here's the article.

    Looks like this album won't get the remastering treatment.

    From what I've heard, only the cd but that's just what I've read. I don't know first hand.

    I love how the album was on sale for $10. Also came with a free wristband.

    Where is it available for that price? I was planning on finding somewhere to buy it in a couple hours.
