    I love the Foos, but Adele is fucking awesome too.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Same here. It's perfect imo and I don't say that about many albums.

    Indeed, so very cool! The NY stop on the tour was very close to where I live. If only I was home, would have maybe tried to catch a glimpse of them! I was joking with my dad that we could have gone over and been like "Hey, just wanted to introduce ourselves, we're the new neighbors- what's this you have going on today?" :lol:

    The garage tour clips they've been posting on their youtube channel are f@ckin awesome. What other band would of their stature would do such a thing? Grohl is the most charismatic rock star on the planet who also more than anything else seems so appreciative and down to earth.

    Keep in mind they are all a bit older now with families and multiple children. Point being, it aint easy to do what they are doing. I smell well deserved multiple grammy's,..... if that even means anything (in an eddie voice...lol)

    Agreed. I definitely see Best Rock Album award. Right now, I think this album deserves Album of the Year nom and Record of the Year nom.

    I think they're definitely going to win Best Rock Album (or Alternative Album, depending on how they nominate it). The Foos have won some Grammys in the past so I wouldn't be surprised.

    Finally picked this record up today. The little piece of master tape is a great touch.

    So I've ordered plenty of vinyl from Amazon before, and I've had it arrive in all sorts of ways. From the standard slim box that the record fits snugly in to the huge-ass mega box that could hold several box sets. Today however was a first. I got home and there was Wasting Light with a shipping label slapped directly on it. No envelope. No box. Nothing. How it even got to me and it's in the shape it's in is beyond me.

    Has anyone else had something shipped to them like this before?

    I think my favorites are Bridge Burning and Dear Rosemary. Bob Mould is absolutely fantastic in "Dear Rosemary".
