    Arguably the year's first great hot-weather record. [24 Jun 2005, p.161]

    Both these records chronicle the physical and mental graffiti of figuring out how to emerge from some very large shadows, including his own, with nerve and power. [Jul 2005, p.96]

    If you buy In Your Honor and toss out the second half, you'll own the band's best record since The Colour and the Shape. [#16, p.88]

    In Your Honor's acoustic half reveals Dave Grohl's songwriting shortcomings.
  6. Rolling Stone
    60
    Some of Grohl's lyrical shortcomings become exposed: The sameness and vagueness of his love lyrics blunt their impact.
  7. Playlouder
    40
    'In Your Honour' is as rancid and moribund and as redundant of ideas as it is possible to be.

    First off, let me say that I had high expectations of this album. For months leading up to the release Dave Grohl has been touting that "In First off, let me say that I had high expectations of this album. For months leading up to the release Dave Grohl has been touting that "In Your Honor" is the album he wants the Foos remembered by. I have to say that my expectations have been met. This is a great album by a great band. The first disc truly does rock as hard as Grohl has hyped and the second disc has some stunningly beautiful tunes. It's too early to tell if this is going to be my favorite Foo album.. but, I must say it's a real possibility. Current favorites on Disc 1 are No Way Back, DOA, Free Me, Resolve... Disc 2 - What If I Do?, Miracle, Razor... and call me a sissy, but I think Virginia Moon is a cool-ass, groovy tune, too.… Expand

    Excellent double album. I liked the 'rock' side more than the 'acoustic,' but they were both extremely well done. Excellent double album. I liked the 'rock' side more than the 'acoustic,' but they were both extremely well done. Standout tracks for me include In your Honour, DOA, No Way Back, Friend of a Friend, and Razor. I think that this would have been a better 15 track CD, but I can't complain about such great music. I should lower the score because copy protection to me seems like a needless hassle, but I'll leave the score as is.… Expand

    Well, here it is. The new double album by the Foo Fighters. I'm just gonna say it straight up: the rock disc is just not that sweet. It Well, here it is. The new double album by the Foo Fighters. I'm just gonna say it straight up: the rock disc is just not that sweet. It does not even come close to their debut. In fact, it doesn't even come close to their second best album, the Color and the Shape. Fans of their earlier work will be disappointed, while fans of One By One might think it's awesome. Fortunately, the soft disc is much stronger than I had expected. Tracks such as "Still," "On the Mend," and "Razor" are fantastic and more memorable than most of the rock songs. All in all, a good effort.......but still no "WEENIE BEENIE!!!!" AHHHH such a sweet song… Expand
