Summary: and im on the mend my friend.
Comment: brilliant!! unsurpassable by Foo's standards. this CD didnt quickly become a favorite of mine until i found myself constantly grabbing it if i was going somewhere for a long drive or if it was nice out. i dunno why i just really liked it.
disk 2 stayed in its case for more than a year before i listened to it after the first time i got it. i remember thinking, ok this is good, better than i remembered and then after a few spins within a few days it hit me that it was actually AWESOME, the songs are so so good. On The Mend being a favorite of mine and undoubtly one of my all time fav Foo songs.

Summary: Warning...Skip second album
Comment: I was impressed with the first disc and disappointed with the second disc. Also, there were very few b-sides, but that's neither here nor there. I don't know, if Dave wanted to release some slow stuff then he should have released a solo album of content from the second disc. But like I said, first disc, hard-hitting, epic and a return to full form.

Summary: I love Foo Fighters...and this cd might be my favorite!
Comment: Ok, so the copyright protection thing sucks...this is true...intellectual property is a hot issue right now and probably won't be resolved anytime soon. I have it on my computer..it worked just fine...so there...
But just because I don't agree with copyright laws doesn't mean I am going to deny myself the bliss and wonder of the music of Foo Fighters. It would be like cutting off your nose to spite your face. The music moves me and every song is wonderful! I especially like the second album with the more acoustic set. It's just so beautiful...I'm listening to it right now and just love it. I have played it non stop for a few years now and am no where near tired of it yet. You will find yourself singing along to every song and just loving every second of it. Foo Fighters remains my favorite band of all time...with Led Zeppelin close behind...yes that's right...behind Foo Fighters.

Summary: Great Album, Once You Circumvent the Copy Protection
Comment: Hold down the SHIFT key the first time you insert they disc into your computer's cd drive, then immediately rip it to your hard drive, and that will prevent the obnoxious auto-protect software from auto-installing on your computer.
The album was amazing, a new, charged-up sound for the band that was refreshing to an old fan's ears. The first disc, the hard-hitting side, is solid from start to finish. It's too bad that "Best of You" was acutely overplayed on the radio; songs like "No Way Back" and "DOA" were superior songs.
The quiet, acoustic side, was a departure (an experiment, if you will) for the band. Musically, I think Grohl wanted to prove he could do something besides scream into the mic. Unfortunately, an entire disc of this is a little bit unbearable. Overall, the quiet side is not memorable, but songs such as "Cold Day in the Sun" and "Still" are hidden gems on what is essentially the B-side for the album. Thankfully, they have struck a balance between hard and soft with 2007's "Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace."

The DVD side of disc one contains a ‘making of the album’ documentary video and an enhanced stereo version of disc one. The DVD side of disc two features a hi-res DVD audio surround sound version of disc two.
