Foo Fighters: Wasting Light
The Foo Fighters are one of the few remaining rock bands that have stayed true to their music, and have generally “behaved” themselves. Their latest album Wasting Light displays their finest work yet, and ranges from softer songs to their iconic hard rock.
With eleven tracks full of voice, harmonies and soul the Foo Fighters have delivered another rock and roll album that needs no ridiculous PR stunts or large format printing. The cover itself features the bands five members, Dave, Pat, Nate, Chris and Taylor.
Bridge Burning” sets of the whole album with the exclamation “these are my famous last words!” After this, their single “Rope” follows reminding us of the bands former rhythms and “Dear Rosemary” features Bob Mould. The songs begin to get softer after “White Limo” and “Arlandria”, with “These Days” progressing to the mellow tracks. The final track “Walk” “which was featured in the credits of the movie “Thor”) closes the album to a strong close.
All eleven of the songs build to their own climax and are powerfully and cleverly composed. Like their old albums “Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace”, “The colour and the Shape” and “In your Honour”, the Foo Fighters have no particular theme that defines them other than great music. Dave himself explained how for “Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace” the band did not stick to their usual instruments for many of the songs. Nevertheless “Wasting Light” seems to reveal a more sophisticated style of rock from this band that will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the greats.
