In Your Honour - Foo Fighters

Advantages: two discs with lots of great moments
Disadvantages: some weaker moments

...you could just split yourself in two? Imagine it: you could send the loud and angry you to take out everyone who's ever wished you harm, then send the quiet and soft-spoken you to court. You'd also be able to sneak out of the house or your place of work, leaving the other you in your place. And of course, you'd have a built-in alibi for those court cases. Is such a question all that unreasonable? Well, looking at today's headlines, I'd say our attention ...
...of it as a bonus in addition to the loud disc and shelled out my hard-earned cash. Happily, I find myself able to enjoy both discs a great deal. "In Your Honor" is the only song to have its lyrics reprinted in the liner notes. Maybe because it's the title track and deserves a special honour, maybe because the group was too cheap to provide lyrics for all twenty songs. Either way, it's a decent opener, with some swirly... swirly... swirly... swirly... ... Read review

Advantages: Every song has it's good parts, most are all amazing.
Disadvantages: Segregation of fast and slow is questionable

...separated because if you are in the mood for some hardcore rockin' you are hardly going to want to listen to a song like 'Razor' for example. The first album is more something which you would want to listen to with a large group of friends, and the other is more something for when your on your own, or with a couple of people. As usual, they start with an absolutely amazing track, 'In Your Honour', this makes an absolutely brilliant start to the ...
...where there is a pause in the middle of the song, and then D.G's vocals come back in. With some artists, pauses are just rubbish, but the foo's have the amount of drama in their songs to pull this off flawlessly. Love it, one of the best songs on the album! What comes next is an absolute plethora of amazing songs that will take your breath away, after you've listened to them a few times, as some of them take a bit of getting used to. The album has ...

Advantages: Great acoustic album, A lot of it rocks
Disadvantages: Material spread a little thin over two cd's

...out from behind the drums in Nirvana he has never looked back and delivered countless rock tunes that are of the highest quality. The 1995 self-titled debut was a very rough affair, featuring some fine grunge anthems. It was dirty, stripped down and frankly great. Since then the sound of the band has evolved, become more polished and more accessible to all. So the announcement that the latest album would be a double affair was met with great excitement. ...
...Honour' is really two albums in one. The first disc is a rockier affair while the second disc follows an acoustic path. The results are pretty good but not perfect. So let's address the 'rock album' to start off with. Things kick off with the title track from the album. A slow build on the intro soon gives way to Grohl's rasping vocals. It set's up the record with its heavy riffs and generally rocks although lyrically there isn't that much to it. ... Read review

Advantages: pefect foo fighters album
Disadvantages: disc 2.

...Dave Grohl formed Foo Fighters in 1995 he knew these were going to be a great band. We have all the Foo Fighters albums ("Foo Fighters" The colour and the shape" "There is nothing left to loose" "One by one" "In your honour" and "skin and bones") And even a few live DVD's but we had never seen them play live so when the 'In your honour' album came out and I knew they were touring, I thought tickets to see them would be the best Christmas present ...
...a banner saying "Foo Fighters In Your Honour" runs across the middle and what looks like a big bison is pictured alone at the top of the cover.

Advantages: Well, it's rather good
Disadvantages: A few indeciferable things

...on hungry kids let loose in a candy shop, the other half a sacred, ritualistic cleansing of self, of mind and body... leaving nothing but feeling. "In Your Honor" is an album that rolls you in feeling, deep-fries you in ambience, and serves you on a platter of emotive release. Dave Grohl hands you over the counter in slow motion, speaking, whispering... "You want fries with that?" Naturally, most of this impossible beauty that has me aghast comes, ...
...disc is what had me in the palm of its cushiony hand, and when you hear it, you'll know why. 'Still,' the disc's opener, is a lush, green meadow of sound, slipping in between those small gaps that you don't know you have in your heart, and makes you feel whole. Atmosphere hasn't been this thick since A Perfect Circle's "Thirteenth Step," an album rife with extensive concentration on mood and feel. Nothing on "Honor" is as abstract as APC, obviously, ...
