Album Review
Essentially a collection of solo home recordings by Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters' eponymous debut is a modest triumph. Driven by big pop melodies and distorted guitars, Foo Fighters do strongly recall Nirvana, only with a decidedly lighter approach. If Kurt Cobain's writing occasionally recalled John Lennon, Dave Grohl's songs are reminiscent of Paul McCartney — they're driven by large, instantly memorable melodies, whether it's the joyous outburst of "This Is a Call" or the gentle pop of "Big Me." That doesn't mean Grohl shies away from noise; toward the end of the record, he piles on several thrashers that make more sense as pure aggressive sound than as songs. Since he recorded the album by himself, they aren't as powerful as most band's primal sonic workouts, but the results are damn impressive for a solo musician. Nevertheless, they aren't as strong as his fully formed pop songs, and that's where the true heart of the album lies. Foo Fighters has a handful of punk-pop gems that show, given the right musicians and songwriters, the genre had not entirely become a cliché by the middle of the '90s.
Customer Reviews
The Classic Foo
This album is incredible,especially considering the band hadn't actually been formed yet.
Awesome
By far the best Foo Fighters album. Every other album has songs that sound exactly the same and all of the major hit pop songs are just Dave trying to be Kurt Cobain screaming into the mic and trying to pull off a big time rock ballad. Every thing here though is sincere and well done (even more impressive considering it was only Dave except for X-static). The one song I could see not being on here is Weenie Beenie. The highlights are This Is A Call, radio hits I'll Stick Around and Big Me, and the end song, Exhausted. Buy this album, it really is a must have for any rock fan.
awesome
