  1. It isn't long before you realize how frickin' right it all sounds, how damn near flawless the tone of the whole set feels. [28 Sep 2007, p.104]
  2. There's no getting away from the fact that the goofy guy who used to play drums for Nirvana just made a classic album.

    On the last Foos album, "In Your Honour" rock and acoustic music were exiled to different discs. Here, a satisfactory compromise is brokered between the two: the excellent 'Summer's End' is easy on the ear, easier still on the brain, and sets him up in the radio-friendly 'Wonderwall' district one imagines is his spiritual home.

    I want to like the Foo Fighters cos when they write a good song, I am right into it, and when they play live, I am right there with them, but for some reasonthere seems a whole lot of filler here that really could have been culled, but I guess that can be said for the majoriy of the Foos releases.

    The magic is gone. It's not that they need to sound like their first couple of albums, it's that they need the variety and creativity back. People who like this stuff probably own Nickelback cds too. Wake up all you 10-raters out there! It's generic!! Expand
