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 ...

Advantages: 20 tracks, 2 discs of music, and a number of excellent little numbers. Disadvantages: The album is not great, the excellence of the music is inconsistent.
...Fighters. The album was released in 2005 and consists of twenty tracks spread over two discs of music. The fact that you get over an hour and twenty minutes of music here is really rather excellent; the music that you get isn't always great, you definitely get a lot of it though. £5.47 is the current price at Amazon; fantastic value for money? I think so.
The album is packed full of hard hitting guitar riffs, excellent drum work, and the fantastic ...

In YOUR Honour Review ofIn Your Honour - Foo Fightersby
hixey101
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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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, ...

In your honour
The fifth studio album from the Foo Fighters
Released 2005
Before the review how about a short introduction to the band. The current line up is Dave Grohl singer and guitar, Nate Mendel Bass, Chris Shiflett Guitar and Taylor Hawkins Drums. Dave Grohl ex drummer with Nirvana put together the band that would become today's Foo Fighters in 1995 after the 1994 Kurt Cobain suicide. In early 1995 Grohl and one of his friends from Washington ...

Advantages: Double album full of great tracks Disadvantages: Not as good as The Colour and the Shape
The Foo Fighters began in 1995 with some home made recordings of the long haired, ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Ten years on (with a haircut and changes of band members along the way) the band embark on their most ambitious album yet. In Your Honour is a double album, the first featuring catchy, melodic rock songs that the Foo Fighters have become known for and the second featuring acoustic songs. As it was promoted, 'One loud and one not so loud.'

As the new album, In Your Honor, was released, I found I already liked all songs previously released from taht album and decided to buy it. As with most albums I have bought I found I only liked the songs I already knew, but as time went on I began to like the sound of pretty much all of the tracks.
The better known tracks off the album are 'Best Of You' and 'DOA' and both follow the Foo Fighters 'image', in that you could easily ...

Advantages: Great value for money, Song for any mood! Disadvantages: You need at least 2 hours spare to listen to the whole thing!
This double album belongs in every music fans collection. With 2 CD's it is worth every penny and i think your ears will agree with me! CD 1 is instantly familiar, with guitar rock and a grunge feel that we are so used to hearing from the foofs. Yet it is the second CD that really blew me away with it\'s acoustic settings and laid back tempos, the melodys are beautiful and Grohl's voice slides over the notes like water over rock. The two CDs compliment ...

...loud and scream along to in your car. Yet, still has the depth and quality squeezed into each track that creates meaning, emotion through the lyrical content and Dave Grohl's vocal diversity. Songs like DOA, The Last Song and No Way Back prove to be as melodic as succesful tracks on previous albums so as; All my life, Monkey Wrench and Learn to Fly. Best of You, Hell and In your Honour, so a more slow-tempo but firece rock feel to round up and make ...

Advantages: Two albums both offering something different. Great songs Disadvantages: The old happy acoustic songs are lost.
...could describe these as beautiful in an acoustical sense rather than the love song sense.
The best song on the acoustic song is 'Cold Day in the Sun'; where the lead singer 'Dave Grohl' swaps roles with the drummer 'Taylor Hawkins' (Dave - Drums, Taylor - Guitar and Vocals). One of the last songs of the album is its secret weapon and shows how much the Foo Fighters are willing to experiment.
You may also be interested that the acoustic side has ...

...however let me fill you in on the history of the band. Their lead singer, Dave Grohl was previously the drummer of Nirvana, where the band eventually collapsed due to the tragic "suicide" of Kurt Cobain. While Dave was in Nirvana, he had made some of his own music material, however he was too scared to publicise it as he thought at the time it would ruin the relationship of Nirvana. But he then made these songs into an album titled "Foo Fighters", ...

...on this single CD. So, in my opinion, even if you are unsure on whether you will like what Dave Grohl and Norah Jones(A recently emerged soul singer who teams up with dave grohl for the track Virginia Moon) have to offer(as much as i tried not to like norah jones, i have to say it seems to work very well), or if you are worried about the harm on our ears of the Heavy guitars(pretty amazing on this album), you should still buy this album soully for ...
