Amazon Review

Assuming former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl dreads the thought of forever being known as "the guy from Kurt Cobain's band," the last thing he'd want to hear is that the debut album from his new band Foo Fighters sounds much like one from the deceased duke of grunge. Unfortunately, Nirvana comparisons are not only inevitable, they're bound to consume the dialogue surrounding his quartet entirely. Perhaps it was unavoidable osmosis: Grohl, Foo Fighters' lead singer-guitarist, wrote most of these tunes during breaks from beat-keeping for his former band leader. It's natural that Cobain's knack for balancing hard and fast with musical and melodic would wear off on Grohl, as well as on bandmates Pat Smear (who also played with Nirvana), William Goldsmith, and Nate Mendel (both of Seattle's Sunny Day Real Est...

Good not great

I'm glad that I had got The Colour and the Shape and Nothing Left to Lose before I got this. To me is has always sounded rougher and a lot less commercial than the later albums. I like it more now but it took me a while to get into as it isn't as polished and some of the songs sound a bit messy and dated.

One of my favourite songs from this album is `Exhausted'. I thought there was something wrong with my CD when I first heard it! It... Read full review »

A lot of reviewers here seem to have come to this first Foo Fighters record quite late on - when there was already an Everlong, a My Hero, a Learn to Fly... well I remember the days when this came out. 1995 it was. Kurt Cobain had not been long gone and Stiltskin were trying to capture the alternate rock crown. All of us that liked Nirvana at the time were well into this. We loved the energy, the shoutyness, the rawness. We didn't think it sounded like Nirvana, and we didn't want it to.

It doesn't really have as many levels as Nirvana's In Utero did, but it does have a little more variety than the two dimensional Nevermind. Anyway, there's no need to compare; they are quite different. This record is more akin to the real underground "grunge" of the late 80s/ early 90s like Mudhoney, than it is to grunge's poster boys.

Before we heard This Is A Call we all knew that Grohl would struggle to shake off Nirvana's overbearing shadow, but somehow he did, and he did it quickly. Unfortunately, as his band got bigger, he seems to have become more and more radio friendly. I respect the Foos, I love Dave Grohl, but I don't want anything to do with anything that came after The Color and the Shape - probably the last great sounding... Read full review »

Grohl's Happy Grunge Album!

This album beats all the other Foo's albums, I'm sorry but it does. It's so raw and natural, and comes from the heart!. Unlike Nirvana this doesn't put you in a deep depression and wish you were dead, it wants you to jump around, and shout out th... Read full review »

Scortcher Of A Debut

When I first heard this album I fell in love with it, from the first 2 immediate impact of This Is A Call & I'll Stick Around to the last strains of Exhausted we have Jazz, Punk... Read full review »

Doesn't even deserve one star...

Until recently I owned every Foo Fighters album apart from their self-titled debut. I finally decided to buy it but really wish I hadn't now. This is one of the worst albums I think I have ever bought (and I've got a few regrettable purchases in my collection). It has been so poorly produced that it sounds like nothing more than a bunch of... Read full review »
