New album right around the corner.

First single, The Pretender, is fucking awesome.

I'm definitely looking forward to this. Anyone else?

    I was surprised with pretender.....after the piece of shit they last put out (my own opinion..don't bash me on it). I am looking forward to this new album so much!

    I agree...that last album was just mediocre at best...and that's being generous.

    I don't think i would have been as disappointed with the last one if they hadn't over-hyped it as much. I mean before that thing came out, they acted as if it was gonna change music history...like it was going to define the Foo's career...but it just sounded like something I could walk down to the corner pub and hear.

    yeah the hype was a little ridiculous. I was all excited went out and got it...played it an was like...."Oh...hmmm..ok."
    I'm hoping this new album isn't like that....keeping fingers crossed. :)

    The Foo Fighters have always been a band where I've been pleased with every release. In Your Honor has grown on me. Their first two albums have been my favorites though.
    You are just a negative mindless pud.

    there was an energy with those two that I don't feel like they've been able to capture lately. (imo)

    Grohl was at his best from 1994-1996. Almost everything he's done since then has been embarassment after embarassment, and their new single is no exception. I'm glad that Pearl Jam haven't gone down that road. Having 5 songwriters in the band helps, I'm sure.

    im not blown away by the new single. it sounds like pretty generic foo fighters to me. in your honor was alright, but nothing mind-blowing. the album before that was pretty bad. but there is nothing left to lose is one of my fav albums so im willing to give the new one a chance.

    Dave Grohl is just an awesome frontman. He never dissapoints.

    I like In Your Honor. My second favorite behind Colour and The Shape.


    Really looking forward to the new one. Hopefully there will be a tour as well.

    I love the new single. It's catchy and energetic. If the rest of the album is representative, I doubt it'll disappoint. It kinda reminds me of old Foo (1st 2 albums are definitely still the best). Can't wait to see them at the LA Invasion.!!! Hopefully, they'll play more of their new stuff.

    I love The Pretender. Foo's are the best. I've heard two other songs from the new album ( Cheer Up Boys... and Come Alive) and they're awesome. Really looking forward to it, but you could say I'm bias cause Taylor Hawkins is my hero (no pun intended).

    I am excited for this album. The pretender has grown on me alot, but still it is nothing compared to Best of You, probably the best song in the past five years (imo)

    Missed out on tickets to see them at Newcastle, did'nt even realise they were playing till a couple of weeks ago, so I'm gutted.
    I enjoyed the last album IYH, although I agree with others that they have'nt had the energy of the first two albums, Pretender sounds like it does though.
    I also enjoyed the Skin and Bones dvd release w/ Hyde park as well, while Foos have not had the energy in the studio they always have it live.
    Can not be arsed with life no more.

    In Your HOnour was underwhaleming. How many songs can you write that are jsut octaves. Ya gotta oull out a different riff someime. I liked One by One though, much more dynamic. Not sure if I can get excited about anopther release, do like DAve though, when is he joining Led Zeppelin ??
