Riding the momentum of the hit single "Learn to Fly," which hit No. 1 on the modern-rock charts long before this album's release, the Foo Fighters' third record is unarguably its most refined and poppy. The ominous riff that the opens "Stacked Actors" (which sounds like something Kurt Cobain could have hacked out on Nirvana's gnarly In Utero) is pretty much a red herring. The 10 tunes that follow are a succession of hook-laden pop songs tarted up with guitarist-vocalist (and former Nirvana drummer) Dave Grohl's thick guitars and increasingly sugar-sweet vocals. Nearly every cut on There Is Nothing Left to Lose has the potential of following "Learn to Fly" up the charts. The production is big and friendly and songs like "Generator," "Aurora," and "Headwires" just melt in your mouth. And even though the Foo Fighters' latest is seductively sweet in sound, there are just enough rough edges and lyrical angst to keep things interesting. --Adem Tepedelen

There Is Nothing Left to Lose (Vinyl) Reviews
| 18 of 20 people found the following review helpful  The Unexpected From The Foo Fighter's!, By This review is from: There Is Nothing Left to Lose (Audio CD) I have listened to this album at least thirty times already and I wake up in the middle of the night singing some of the songs. All the songs on this album are very "catchy", but seem to maintain a perfect amount of the raw edge I enjoy from The Foo's. A lot of people who have liked the The Foo Fighters harder work may tend to be misled that the Foo Fighters have "SOLD OUT" to a softer sound. I call B.S. Besides, who else in the last 20 yrs. has used a voice box on his guitar. This is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Honestly, it's nice to see Dave Grohl come to terms with what he wants in his music. This album reflects how it was recorded. At Dave's home in Virginia while bbq'ing burgers at the same time. Just consider this album a portion of what is hopefully to come. I hope that these guys will continue down the path that they are on but still feed the angry side of life as well. We all need a release. If you like this album, may I suggest an album by a group...

It ranks up there with I'll Stick Around, Weenie Beenie, and Monkey Wrench. Breakout was my favorite song before I got the album because it was so nice. This song sounds very poppy, but it's punkish at the same time. Learn To Fly, the current hit, is wonderful. 3 chord songs don't ALWAYS suck, as this one demonstrates. The beginning Gimme Stitches sounds sort of like "Slow Ride" by Foghat. Great song. Generator, my guess on the first single, employs the talkbox, made famous by Peter Frampton. It sounds like Garbage's "When I Grow Up" in the middle. I didn't expect that from this, but it's very pleasant. Aurora is beyond description. The music is magical, the vocals are beautiful, everything. Definitely the opus of the album. Live-In Skin is one of the underappreciated songs, but it's...

The thing I love so much about this CD, is not the vocals, but the awesome music. The guitars and the drums go so well together and they never lose the beat. Let's get a run down of this CD:1.)Stacked Actors ~ This is one of my favorite songs. Great energy and makes you want to break something. Woohooo! 5/5 2.)Breakout ~ Another one of my favorites. This song also has that energy that makes you feel powerful. 5/5 3.)Learn To Fly ~ The first single released from this album. A pure rock classic. Yummy! 5/5 4.)Gimme Stitches ~ This is one of those songs with incredible guitar music and makes you want to dance. Good lyrics also. 5/5 5.)Generator ~ Different, but cool sounding at the beginning, and keeps a midtempo beat. 4/5 6.)Aurora ~ This is the albums first "ballad". More sensitive lyrics and more relaxing. 4/5 7.)Live-In Skin ~ Back to more in your face music. This is a great one to play loud. Good lyrics on this on too... Read more |
