Dave Grohl reunites with both original Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear, and 'Nevermind' produced Butch Vig for this follow-up to 'Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace'. Not content with those reunions, however, there's also a track featuring Nirvana bass player Krist Novoselic.
The result of these reunions is the most complete, impressive and satisfying Foo Fighters album since 'The Colour And The Shape'. Its non-stop run of great song after great song right from the intro to 'Bridge Burning' until the final moments of album-closing 'Walk' could even surpass that modern classic. This is quite simply a rock 'n' roll masterpiece.
