ALBUM REVIEW CREW EPISODE 44: "WASTING LIGHT"
On the 44th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & Sonny review the rock album from the Foo Fighters, "Wasting Light"
Wasting Light was the Foo Fighters' 7th studio album. The album was a commercial and critical hit, winning 4 Grammys, including best rock album. The album went platinum and also became the Foo Fighters first album to go #1 on Billboards 200.
Led by the biggest rock star in the past 30 years, Dave Grohl on guitar and vocals, the dual guitar players, Pat Smear & Chris Shiflett, bassist Nate Mendel and the lovable late bad ass drummer Taylor Hawkins. The lyrics were credited to the whole band, although Grohl was the main lyricist. The album had 6 singles and basically a music video for every song.
The album reconnect the legendary producer Butch Vig of Nirvana's Nevermind fame with Dave Grohl. The band wanted a rawer sound and Dave convinced Vig and the band to record the album in his garage with analog equipment. Grohl wanted this album to define the Foo Fighters and to many he succeeded.
As usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous 42 albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew.
This was Tom's pick
So tune in to see if Foo is Poo as Sonny predicted or if Tom was it A Matter Of Time before Tom gets a Rope and drags Sonny Back And Forth under a White Limo! The opinions are hot on this one don't want to Walk away!
