    "The most disappointing aspect of Probot is that many of the songs sound more like Foo Fighters turned to eleven than actual metal." Pitchfork don't understand a thing about ROCK again. It's just a feel good metal record that DOESN'T sound like the Foo Fighters.

    I don't think I've enjoyed a metal album more upon first hearing it than Probot since I first put Master of Puppets in the CD player. Grohl is amazing.

    Thought I was in high school again. This album is the best non-Slayer real metal I have heard in years. Thanks Grohl-sch

    If nothing else, maybe this will get people to buy Sepultura's "Chaos A.D.", Napalm Death and some Celtic Frost and forget that nu-metal ever happened. But it makes me wonder if Dave has plans to release another '80s-inspired album with Morrissey, Robert Smith, Kevin Shields, Ian McCulloch, Michael Stipe, J. Mascis, the Reid brothers, Thurston Moore, Ian Brown, and David Gahan.

    Grohl attacks this CD with menace. The guest vocalists sound happy (if that can be used accurately) and at home. Top notch stuff. Highly recommended.

    I love this cd. It will be given a place on the shelf of my heart right next to Queens of the Stone Age's 'Rated R', and Nirvana's Incesticide.

    Grohl wrote the riffs, and he hammers like a god, letting his hero singers write the lyrics and man the bellows. [Mar 2004, p.91]

    The year's first great metal album. [19 Feb 2004, p.67]
