    I said the middle 4 songs were not great, just ok, and that it started and ended great. But the middle 4 are quickly growing on me. 8-)

    I Should've Known is easily one of the 5 greatest Foo songs.

    I'll be picking up that vinyl for sure.

    youngster played me this in the car yesterday. I came home and played it once again and then another time today. It's not bad. Certainly not anywhere close to Colour and Shape, but it's not bad. I thought their last few albums were just awful, so this is a nice rebound for Dave and co.
    I'll have to respectfully disagree with you just a little bit. I think it's their best set of songs since Colour and the Shape and definitely one of their best albums ever. ESPG was eh, In Your Honor's first disc was very good, and didn't care for One By One.

    I kind of like the 2nd disk of In Your Honor, but i think I am in the stark minority. Oh well. Echoes, yeah, it was eh. Some good songs here & there. I am a HUGE fan of One By One...

    I actually absolutely love the second disc of IYH, much more so than the first disc, which has some good material but feels like they're going by-the-numbers.

    Also, There Is Nothing Left to Lose is underrated. Might be my favorite record of theirs.

    I've been listening to that one a lot lately. I'm really starting to like "Next Year".

    I think that album had a couple of their funniest videos with "Learn to Fly" and "Breakout".

    EDIT: Just found out that was Dave's mom who flips him off. :lol:

    I didn't realize how awesome Aurora was until I heard it live. I had to go and listen thru all the CD's to figure out which song it was. 8-)

    Have to jump on here and agree that "Aurora" is awesome. It's Dave's favorite Foo song.

    I can see why, even though it's been one of my favorites I still think my favorite is Resolve, it's so good! :mrgreen:
