Mar 8, 2013Good album, but I like it less than There Is Nothing Left To Lose. This sounds like Queens Of The Stone Age's Songs For The Deaf, but I think One By One is better. All My Life is a great song, Times Like These and Come Back are very good, too.

Dec 21, 2011Excellent album - most of the tracks are great and the opener is a classic. My favourite Foo Fighters album to listen to and really put the "There is Nothing Left to Lose" disaster to bed. Not sure if they've produced anything quite as good since.

Sep 28, 2011Some of their best work is a product of this record. All My Life, Low, Times Like These, the whole record comes together nicely without any filler tracks.

HectorGFeb 28, 2008The Foos are the ONLY real rock band out there today... and that isn't just a situational statement. They could hold their own against ALL the great bands. Anyone who tries to deny the brilliance of Dave Grohl is just being foolish. This is our modern-day LedZep, folks. As close as we'll ever get to "all original sound rock-and-roll".

davenSep 22, 2006Very interesting to analyze this CD. Its their least catchy CD to date, but also their best musically. Usually this isn't the case, but One By One falls into this category. One By One shows the Foo Fighters' growth as musicians, but its at the expense of catchy, sing-a-long songs. Call it their best record, call it their worst record. Either way you'll be right.

foofanSep 21, 2003One by one is a great cd! Even though it's a bit slick, it still rules! (though not as much as "The colour and the shape") From the crushing opening of "All my life" to the more well known foo-sound on "times like these" ending with the Killer, almost 8 min. long "Come back" Took a while to adjust to some of the songs, but eventually it stuck like glue. Not a disappointment!

JoshHOct 28, 2002Much better than their last one. Only a few songs are uninteresting. Very good album.

-
AGOct 24, 2002Not as good as some of the other stuff the Foos have done but that's not a bad thing. It doesn't do justice just listening to it once. It's an album that needs to grow on you first.

Awards & Rankings
-
One By One is mostly middling, sticking to slick, pounding, functional rock that doesn't dig much deeper than the usual spleen-venting and loud-quiet brooding-to-bluster formula.
-
There is no denying the power of this album.
-
One by One, in all its thunderous angst and desperate expressions of hope, represents a full-on exploration of the Foos '70s influences.
