Good Points
Great new tracks! Probably their best album since The color and the shape.
Bad Points
Could use more mid-tempo tracks on the first disk, which can get a bit relentless losing impact.
General Comments
This album is amazing! I'm not disapointed in the slightest, but it is not perfect. After Hell on the first disk, you can't help wondering if the album would be better with more mid-tempo tracks like Resolve, as it gets a bit relentless. The songs also start to lose dynamics, because they do not slow down. The second disk is just as brilliant, with tracks like "Friend of a friend," "Cold day in the sun", and the haunting "Razor". I'm not a big fan of "Virginia moon", but neverless, minus a few mediocre tracks, this is Foo fighters at their best.
