Foo Fighters, Wasting Light. Album Review.

For any band to follow up one of their finest albums especially after a four year gap can be daunting, especially when that album was the sensational and 2 x platinum selling Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace.

With the bands seventh studio album Wasting Light, Foo Fighters have done that…just. The album has a wonderful urban feel to it and should come as no surprise to the band’s massive following and multitude of fans that the album was originally recorded in Dave Grohl‘s garage. Other bands have tried this effect of taking the band feel and giving it a new environment and in a lot of times it doesn’t give the band the sound or the credit they deserve for the experiment, in this case however, the deconstructive result gives the band an unseen quality that many would have missed over the last fifteen years.
