Product Description

Amazon.ca

A major criticism of the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut was its supposed lack of, you know, passion among the well-crafted songs and well-crafted rock. This time out, if it's wreckage you want, it's wreckage you get. The Colour & the Shape grows deeper the more it's played, with the band's ripping power more than matched by Dave Grohl's fascinating examinations of pain and divorce. There's even a convincing long slow ballad, "November Stars," whose intensity should win over doubters. If that doesn't work, then the screaming "My Hero" will. --Rickey Wright

Product Description

Includes the bonus tracks Requiem, Drive Me Wild, Down In The Park, Baker St, Dear Lover and Color & Shape.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best Foo Fighters of them all July 19 2004
By Reviewer
Format:Audio CD
"The Colour and the Shape" is the best Foo Fighters album, and that's saying a lot as they're all pretty good.

What sets it apart and above the rest is the depth of the album. For instance, while "There is Nothing Left to Lose" begins with three great songs it sort of tapers off as the album progresses. Not so with "The Colour and the Shape."

Songs like "Monkey Wrench", "My Hero", "Everlong", and "Walking After You" are well-known (and maybe slighly overplayed when it comes to the first two) but all 13 songs are quality listens. Moreover, the album grows on you with each spin -- I remember liking some songs but not others at first but now really like the whole thing. I really doubt this is an album you would grow tired of or only hear a lot at first and then let collect dust.

I think the Foo Fighters are one of the coolest bands around and this represents the coolest of their work. Each song is pretty good; the guitar on this album is rugged and hard-charging without ever devolving into headache-inducing noise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Personnal favorite July 1 2006
By Sam Doucette
Format:Audio CD
Even if they are all very good, this is my favorite Foo Fighters album. The first album had been created while Grohl was still with Nirvana and I think the future of the Foos might have been incertain at that time. This second album is where its really taking off! Dave Grohl has a very strong sense of composition and I think this album is a gem of rock music. For another side of Mr.Grohl, check out Probot, another result of this amazing composer.

5.0 out of 5 stars May I have the envelope please... Feb 13 2006
By Ian Anderson
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Everlong" by the Foo Fighters voted Best Song Ever by everybody, everywhere! (Narrowly beat out Led Zepplin's Stairway To Heaven, J.S. Bach's Fantasia & Fugue in G Minor, and The Captain & Tennille's Muskrat Love.)

Seriously (even though I was kinda being serious), Everlong IS one of the best rock songs you'll ever hear, and the rest of the album ain't too shabby either with standouts like "Monkey Wrench", "Hey, Johnny Park!", "Walking After You" and "My Hero". But if you don't get chills when Dave Grohl launches into the chorous of "Everlong" and the guitars kick in and the drummer starts doing his impression of a machine gun, well then I suggest you seek medical attention because you must be dead or something.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a given
How can anyone out there claim to be a rock fan without owning or experiencing this album. Everlong is one of the best written and produced songs, just listen to it.

'Colour and The Shape' is the Foo Fighters best album to date. With perfect songs like 'My Hero' and 'February Stars'. Dave's voice is rockish yet haunting at the same time. Read more
