    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]

    Each of these tracks makes the case for Foo Fighters' horizons successfully expanding, in the way the acoustic side of "In Your Honor" didn't. [Oct 2007, p.87]

    It's charming, understated and has to be heard in context. [Oct 2007, p.100]

    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.

    This is a great album. Is it Foo Fighters' best, hmmm not really, but it is still excellent. The main single and first track - The pretender, will be a classic for years to come. Other gems include the quick rising build-up songs - Let it die, Come alive and But honestly, the casual and catchy - Summer's end and Long road to ruin and the stunningly beautiful acoustic ballad - Stranger things have happened. I would recommend this album to all Foo fighter fans, fans of Rock music and well...all general music lovers.… Expand

    Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace is not the best album ever, but it's not bad either. A good handful of songs in this album. Opens up with the rock anthem "The Pretender" that is easily Foo Fighters heaviest song. Dave Grohl's vocals sound more matured in this album also. All In All, Each song is good, not great, and certainly not bad either. B… Expand

    When I read the Entertainment Weekly review, I was reminded of a quote from Garden State; "Kick it in the balls". You see, this is what you do to a dog when it keeps humping your leg. The Foo Fighters could use this advice to get EW off their leg. Of course, then their only die hard supporters would be gone. Seriously, though, does anyone take these guys seriously any more? We thought this kind of rock was good in the 90s, then we realized that in reality it was the blandest nonsense since New Coke. And now these guys are trying to make music exactly the same as their 90s stuff. It boggles my mind. And if your still think that EW is right and everyone else is wrong, these guys are also strong supporters of Nickleback. Yeah...… Expand
