Nov 10, 2014What a freakin fun album. Not perfect, but what is? If you like Foo Fighters, if you dig albums produced by Butch Vig, or if you just want a decent rock album then give this a listen. if not then move along. 'nuff said.

Nov 10, 2014What a great album. Iv'e never been a huge Foo Fighters fan before, but I'm loving Sonic Highways. the first track, Something From Nothing, is just great. There is no particularly weak song, and unlike a lot of their older work which tends to blend together, every song stands out to me. Awesome guitar riffs, and really cool experimentation with new sounds. All together a solid album.

Nov 10, 2014As usual Foo mixes some melody and some heavy guitar riffs, then screaming over most of the chorus. A mix they have used well in their past albums. And despite the traveling to be an influence on each of their song (which is not a new idea), The songs come out the same as in the past. That being said, Foo gives their fans what they want- more of the same.

Nov 17, 2014As someone fairly unfamiliar with the Foo Fighters' discography or history, I was intrigued by the concept behind Sonic Highways. The album is enjoyable, and warrants repeated listens at least for me, but I was a bit disappointed at the execution of the idea. The music isn't bad, but if they recorded in one place, it would not be nearly as well received.

Feb 6, 2015Não é o melhor disco deles, mas pedir pra superar os hinários do passado é uma tarefa quase impossível. O álbum conversa bem entre si e as músicas no geral são bem "catchy", o álbum me viciou por completo.

Jan 4, 2015While I would've liked to have seen more energy in the music and a few more songs, Sonic Highways is a great rock album with some truly great songs, including one of their best songs they've ever written, Something From Nothing.

Sep 25, 2015It lacks a hit song, but as a whole album this is great. Listened to it a few times, and I just can't find the worst song cause there isn't one. The problem is, I can't find the best song either

Dec 4, 2014It's a cool premise, but despite the ambition and guest musicians on each song, Sonic Highways sounds like every other Foo Fighters record.
