    The Foo Fighters influences bear the mark of a fake, second class, cut rate punk band. The Foo Fighters come a cross as god awful and boring. What the Foo Fighters thought to be good was conventionally bad for Rock and Roll, and Punk Rock. The journey of the Foo Fighters was full of fake, or phony moments. The foo Fighters are disciples of fake rock music, not real. The foo fighters areThe Foo Fighters influences bear the mark of a fake, second class, cut rate punk band.

    If I could write garbage 75 times I would for my review. Hated it, such a boring record. Garbage, trash, poop, fart, sewer album. Yuke, boo, stink.

    The Foo sextet has made its hardest, yet most curvaceous and warm-blooded record to date. [No. 148, p.54]

    For the most part of Concrete and Gold, it's the same anthemic, meat 'n' potatoes arena rock we've come to expect; a little more punk or metal aggression here, a little more acoustic balladry there, but the mould is the same.

    It packs plenty of the expected, full-throttle thrills, but there's more interesting, atypical action on winding, low-slung jam "The Sky Is A Neighborhood" and the six-minutes-plus of "Sunday Rain." [Nov 2017, p.26]
