Foo Fighters’ Wasting Light is out today (April 12) and is getting rave reviews. The rock band’s seventh studio album has been praised as the group’s best-ever release on both sides of the Atlantic.
The New York Daily News says: “Like most Foo CDs, it charms from start to finish. It’s energetic, fun and unendingly catchy.” U.K. newspaper The Daily Telegraph calls it: “Far and away this band’s best album to date – tough but accessible, reliably catchy, yet also surprising at the last.”
Dave Grohl has talked-up Wasting Light’s garage-rock mentality, but maybe he talked himself into a hole he had to dive into?
Foos drummer Taylor Hawkins has told themusicnetwork.com, “Here’s what happened… Me and Dave were just doing some demos when he went to some heavy metal awards show. He got drunk and this reporter asked him, ‘What are you guys doing?’ So Dave says, ‘We’re getting ready to make a record and it’s not going to have any [expletive] on it, it’s gonna [expletive] rock and we’re doing it on [expletive!] tape with Butch Vig.’”
“Then he got up the next day and read it online. He was like, [expletive]! It’s almost like we had to do it.”
Good call, Dave Grohl’s bartender.
