Always kinda liked Foo, but other than Colour & Shape, never a big fan. I often go on kicks listening to one band or album, but NEVER like this. Can't stop. Nothing but this album for nearly 2 straight months. Can't get enough, so heavy, so raw. A masterpiece.

    It is a really strong album - Foos just announced west coast dates on sale Wednesday so I know what i'll be doing at 10am. Still no dates for labor day weekend ( fingers crossed)

    But - now that Ukulele Songs is out the CD in my car has changed....

    I agree and have been doing the same. people at work are like "again"? lol

    White Limo is much more fun to listen to after seeing the video....FF are such clowns

    edit: now I want to listen to it again:)
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    I am right there with you. An absolutely amazing album. In fact, I just listened to the entire album again while I was at the gym today. Could be my favorite rock album in, I don't know, the last 5 years. Every song is great and there is not one song that is worth skipping. Arlandria is probably my favorite, but its tough to choose.

    If you haven't checked out the double disc "In Your Honor" I highly recommend it. Probably my favorite after Wasting Light.

    I'm pretty sure Arlandria is my fave as well. One of These Days and Miss the Misery are so great. Dear Rosemary is pretty forceful and White Limo, oh my God. They don't have to act ironic to pull that off, they can be completely serious and pull of the metal screamer. It reminds me of Millionaire on the Queens of the Stone Age album Dave was on.

    I think I went about 6 weeks when it first came out listening to that and only that.

    10 hours a day while at work, as well as while I was driving.

    I learned it was a bad idea for me to interrupt "Limo" when I arrived somewhere. If I did, I'd find myself growling, "LIMMM-MMMMMMMMMMOHHH!!!!" constantly :lol:

    It's a kick ass album for damn sure.
