This album rocks. It blows away all other modern mainstream rock by FAR. No longer am I stuck between listening to old stuff AGAIN (Led Zep, AC/DC, etc. Great stuff but not exactly coming out anymore
), or listening to crap like 3 Doors Down, Creed, and Linkin Park. THANK YOU FOO FIGHTERS for putting out a decent album. Heck, TWO decent albums, either of these could stand up on their own.
Their range of ability is clearly higher than other mainstream rock bands, and they are much more unique in their approach. Plus, Grohl has gotten a little better with the voice--although that is still my only complaint. I wish he would sing more and talk/scream less.
