    I broke down and listened to it Monday, but I bought it today. Right after I went and had a new cd player and speakers installed....what a fuckin bad ass way to break a new system in....I definitely tried it out on the hour ride home....great disc....time will tell....but this really seems like it belongs right alongside the colour and the shape to me...may even be a little more complete.

    Can't wait for May 20th. Foo show #2
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Yeah I'm pretty sure they did rerecord it in a week, so all things considered it's not a bad effort ;) I just remember buying it on the day of release whilst on holiday in Florida and being a bit underwhelmed.

    Nice. ;)

    I think it was all the better that they effectively recorded it in a week.

    My wife and I had just started dating when it came out and we listened to it together, so maybe that helps too. 8-) Just like drinking wine, context helps a lot.

    I had the same experience with Wasting Light as I did with TCATS. When I first bought TCATS way back in 97, I remember me and my cousin played Super Nintento and listened to the album over and over again. At least 10 times, and we were both blown away with the album.

    This time me and the girlfriend put Wasting Light on and yet again I found myself listening to the album numerous times in a row.... and yet again I am blown away with what a great record this is. Amazing. I find myself connecting with some of the songs already, on a lyrical level.

    Great album from a great rock band. Thank God they are still around. They have put out some great records overe the past 15 years, and I love them all but this rules

    I had no idea they have never had a #1 Billboard album :shock: assumed they had about 4.

    well congrats this week!

    :lol: I couldn't stop laughing at that. I also like the part where he said something like, "Dude, we're a garage band asshole."

    I was just about to ask about this. Is there a link or something with early estimates?

    Looks like Foo Fighters will be headlining Lollapalooza this year, which means US tour dates should be happening soon!

    There are some US dates for May before they head out to Europe. Looks like they have a month off in between Europe dates. A US tour might happen.

    I think there will be more US dates in Sept and October. They are booked in Europe late May- July

    They probably won't be able to announce any dates until Lolla is announced/sold out and there can't be any dates too close by too soon...
