    Excellent album. Could have done without the 2nd disc. The first five tracks are a whirlwind tour de force that carry the weaker tracks.

    first cd is great, but the second needs a little work because most of the songs sound the same

    Anything done by Dave Grohl is bound to be Great, including In Your Honor. The intro IN YOUR HONOR is great, and it really Pumps you up for the rest of the album!

    My favorite Foo Fighters since the Colour and the Shape. The acoustic CD is my favorite though, I can't seem to stop listening to it.

    A few great tracks, more good ones. It's growing on me as I listen to it. But this album reeks of references of Kurt or Dave's (ex)wife. There is no fanatastic track (ex:Everlong).

    a really, really good album(s) , the slower songs are just as good, or perhaps even better then any of the work they've done!

    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

    A pretty decent album. For me the Foo's will never top The Colour And The Shape, but then again beating that album is no mean feat. This is more of a return to form over One By One, but after the first 4 songs or so the first disc just starts to sound the same and really...like filler. The second disc is good aswell, better than the first in my opinion but only because it's A pretty decent album.

    Sounds great! I There isn't a bad song on these two records and I couldn't care less about that FF makes music that isn't exciting enough for critics. The songs are great - period! And there are 20 of them which is damn impressive to me anyway... So the guy played drumns in Nirvana. Ok, can we drop that now?

    Not since the 'Colour and the Shape' days have the Foos been on such fine form. Forget the last 2 albums, Grohl and co. act as if they nevert happened, and the musics better for it....can't get a 10 because there ain't no such thing as a perfect album, but this is tantalisingly close!

    This is an excellent album. In fact, I actually went to the store and bought the real CD rather than buying from iTunes. It's worth it. The rock is fine, but the acoustic stuff will surprise you.

    This album is so under-rated, sure the first disc sounds like the other albums but the fact is that its good. They are very good at what they do so why should it matter if it sounds the same? Also the second disc is very good, has credible lyrics and great sounds. I highly recommend this for any fan of the foos and for anyone who has never heard them before. Truly one to buy.

    Powerful stuff!! This album is an incredible work that displays the nature of the band. Both disks are great but the rock cd is incredible. Best of You is one of the greatest songsthat just sticks in your head. This is one to get.

    Of all the records released so far in 2005, my favorite to listen to is the electric half of In Your Honor. There is no filler- every song makes an impression and has something about it you will remember. As for the acoustic disc, I was slightly less impressed, but I'm sure it will grow on me in time.

I also prefer to hear Daves voice almost shouting as that is his best, sends shivers down my spine!! Absolutely incredible is all I have to say. Well done guys!!… Expand

    I absolutely think this album is way above the rest of past Foo albums. Not only because they incorporated an awesome/passionate/brilliant acoustic album to the mix, but due to the sound they found and captured on the rock album. It's quite a step, or maybe many steps in the right direction. With the lineup of exquisite members they possess, it's hard not to expect nothing but I absolutely think this album is way above the rest of past Foo albums.

The rock CD begins greatly with In your Honor and the quality of the songs doesn't drop even once during the album. Deepest Blues Are Black is probably my favorite so far but as all the songs are really good, I really don't want to choose my own favorite song. The acoustic CD is at least as good a album as the rock album. I have really hard time when I have to choose which one to play first. Norah Jones sound really good and the drummer of Foo Fighters is suprisingly good at singing. It gives a little change for the never ending singing of Dave.… Expand

Now the second cd which is the acoustic part is something else. Be prepared for really soft. But you will hear the foo fighters take there music to a new level, there are some songs that expand the foo fighters sound, with tracks like virgina moon, and just good guitar player on tracks like"razor" and "what if I do".

    this album is good. the acoustic side is awesome but the rock side is something you listen to and think yeh they've done it before. not their best work. a lot of the b-sides they released should have made the final album cut cos they are a lot better than some of the really plain things that are on there

    Great great album. The songs on the rock CD are amazing, particularly End Over End. Dave Grohl is the one of the best rock music artists ever.

    The rock CD overpowers the acoustic one. Yet among the quieter songs, there are enough supple melodies and hypnotic guitar patterns to suggest fine prospects for a follow-through album that would dare to mix plugged-in and unplugged. [12 Jun 2005]

    Loud, anthemic, joyous and bitter, it's easily the best Foo Fighters album in a decade. [12 Jun 2005]

    It is clean, polished rock with a vaguely punk edge that stays within a clear set of boundaries but in doing so manages to appeal to indie-kids and metal-lovers alike.
