    I think those nesting dolls were only available in a package when you preordered the new album.

    My top 3 would be

    Wasting Loght
    In Your Honour...
    The Colour and the Shape

    Don’t care much for Echoes Silence Patience and Grace.
    The rest fall somewhere in the middle.
    Sonic Highways to me is a little underrated Concrete and Gold I quite like too, but that’s sits comfortably behind my top 3.

    The Colour and The Shape or Wasted Light are the ones I play the most.
    Sonic Highways is the most disappointing - ithe first half would have made a great EP, but the second half does nothing for me

    Oh, cool people like In Your Honor. I'm a big fan of it. Thought everyone would answer Color and the Shape.

    Nothing Left to Lose is my favorite with the self titled a close 2nd.

    I am not what you would call a "fan" of the Foos though.

    The New one is pretty good - but the Colour and Shape is up there for me in overall most favorite rock records.

    I like Concrete and Gold, and I'm probably in the minority but I love Sonic Highways.

    I love Sonic Highways too! I feel like that album really didn't get the love it deserved :(

    Yeah, I feel like if they actually bothered to have that as an item at the Merch tables, it'd sell really well.

    I have tried and tried to like SH, but just can't. it just seems so disjointed and contrived.

    It was the first Foos' album that I've ever listened to. When did he say that?

    The band tensions were pretty well documented at the time. They scrapped the first sessions because they hated the songs, and there were a lot of arguments within the band. It seemed like they may split up around that time - Dave joined QOTSA for a while, Taylor was hospitalised...

    I think it still holds up as a good album - All My Life is such a great song - but it's clear it was a pretty dark time for them.

    Oh yeah... You're right. I totally forgot his QOTSA stint.
