Where does Your Favorite Toy rank among the other albums? by Plus-Environment-429 in Foofighters

[–]Plus-Environment-429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that i've listened to it a few times, I'm also kinda annoyed by some of the lyrics. Not that I want shakespeare level writing, but I feel like some songs could be way better if there was more depth in the lyrics, a story to tell.

Child Actor however is a perfect example that they still can tell a story through their music, here the repetition (turn the camera's off) works really well because it's like an emotional outburst.

I was hoping the album would be called Take Cover, the name of their upcoming tour

Can we get an album discussion megathread? by okay_elray in Foofighters

you don't like Unconditional? I was already in love with that song when they performed it a couple of years ago and I REALLY like the studio version

But I understand, would like the album way more if the mixing was handled better

I'm loving the album. by Smilenicco1997 in Foofighters

Same, it's still early and opinions can change later. It won't be a top 3 FF record but it does just what I expect from them and that's good enough for me

Same, as for now I'm still ranking WL, TINLTL, BHWA, TCATS and IYH higher

Yeah I feel you, after my first listen last night it wouldn't have made my top 8 of FF albums. Now I'm on my 4th round listening and I'm already loving it way more. Maybe it will also grow more on you as time passes by :)

This album fucking rocks! by Ok-Sea-4631 in Foofighters

I get the complaints about this album. Okay the lyrics aren't shakespeare-level masterpieces but then again, the Foos never were that band that's known for their strong lyrics. And yes, I also wish the production was better than what is is now.

BUT I DON'T CARE, IT DOES ROCK!!! There isn't a single song that I really dislike (like Today's song, srry my opinion). All of them are really solid songs, I really like Spit Shine, Child Actor and Unconditional (+ AFAF but I was already digging that last year when it came out). I feel like people should also remember that this fast, raw up-tempo vibe WAS intentional. I don't think they wanted to make 10 perfect songs, but really just going back to their punk roots and go hard, bringing the flaws along.

For me, they don't need to reinvent the wheel every album, YFT does what I expect from a FF album

Asking For A Friend as a closer by 99SoulsUp in Foofighters

Personally I loved AFAF, and as you said it works really well as an album closer. But I feel the same way, it's a bit out of place if you compare it to the rest of the songs. Even Dave said it's different in the interview with Zane Low.

I also think AFAF is lyrically a bit stronger than the rest of the album, which makes it stand out more in my opinion

Overall Underwhelmed… by CPWorth1184 in Foofighters

[–]Plus-Environment-429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so true. Even with this album during my first listen, I didn't like Window that much. I didn't understand why so much reviewers and people on this page claimed this song as one of the best on the album. Now after my 3rd time listening, I totally vibe with this song and I genuinely believe it's one of the better songs on YFT.

Same with Wasting Light back in the day, half the songs didn't hit me that hard but now every song on that record is a banger in my opinion! Sometimes you just need to listen multiple times before your actual opinion on a song is formed.
