Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace – Foo FightersView More By Foo Fighters Our ReviewWith 2005’s In Your Honor, the Foo Fighters distinctly divided their approach into acoustic and electric collections that helped the band fully explore their disparate influences without watering down either approach. For the follow-up, 2007’s Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace, the group string their various approaches together for what flows as a naturally stylistically diverse album, comfortable expressing its angst with distorted guitars and emotionally charged pleading (“But, Honestly”) or with the piano and gentle orchestration of the album’s closing ballad (“Home”). Singer Dave Grohl has always seemed most comfortable leading a hard rock charge, and “The Pretender,” “Cheer Up, Boys” and “Long Road to Ruin” are readymades for the Foo Fighters’ live assault. However, the album’s most surprising and affecting moments are the subdued shades of the whispered forecasts of “Stranger Things Have Happened” and the duet with acoustic guitar virtuoso Kaki King for “Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners,” where Grohl displays an emotive range that establishes him as a first-rate singer, in case there was any doubt.. Customer Reviews"I'm As Important to Nirvana as Kurt Cobain" by David Grohl (5 stars)Well said mighty Foo. This album is pefectly flawless even though there are changes I would make on one tiny song "Cheer Up Boys," that doesn't mean that I have to see it as being flawed because what is on the disk is exactly what the Foos wanted. Therefor it IS a flawless album that I've been listening to for about 5-6 days now and that's just about the perfect amount of time to listen, over and over, and see what you do li DAVE GROHL IS NO MERE MORTAL!!! (5 stars) First they gave us a taste by releasing the unparalleled song "The Pretender," which leaves your psyche and your nerves intensely sustained in activity. The video is first-rate. Now, it's here and it's everything I thought it would be and then some. This is a huge step up for Foo Fighters and David Grohl. I'm very happy for Dave, I think this was a major album for him and I think he nailed it. He is one of the biggest rock best since Colour and the Shape (5 stars) Being a huge Foo Fighter fan, I was thrilled to see Gil Norton was producing the new Foo Fighter cd. Wow! While not as quite the journey that Colour provided, it is an amazing set. Pretender - lead single, very good choice to open up on radio. 9/10 Let It Die - the last minute and 29 seconds are pure Colour and my favorite part of the cd. 10/10 Erase/ Replace - harder hitting song. Sort of One By One. 8/10 Long Road to Ruin - mid tempo so BiographyFormed: 1995 in Seattle, WAGenre: Rock Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s During the last dark days of Nirvana in 1994, tapes of Dave Grohl's solo demos circulated among alt-rock royalty. Greg Dulli commented positively about them in more than one place, but few suspected that these homemade tapes would launch one of the biggest modern rock bands of the post-grunge era. As it turns out, that’s exactly what Grohl’s Foo Fighters became, perhaps the one band of the alt-rock revolution to enjoy continual success on the charts and on the road without a dip in popularity.
