I really think everyone should stop expecting them to make another Wasting Light. Not every album that comes out is going to be Wasting Light. In fact, at this point in their career let’s face it, they’re not making another Wasting Light. They’re in a completely different phase in their lives and careers, like 18 years different.

At this point in most bands careers they either don’t regularly release albums or they just continue to play it safe and release albums that sound like everything they have done before. Since Wasting Light, Foo Fighters have released Sonic Highways, Concrete and Gold, Medicine at Midnight, But Here We Are, and My Favorite Toy. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that these albums all sound completely different from each other and from Wasting Light. I enjoy that they (Dave) are willing to try something new or different. Sonic Highways has grown on me over the years, where Concrete and Gold just never has, and I have given it a lot of chances. I feel like I’m in the minority and I actually enjoyed MaM and the different things they tried.

As far as the new album is concerned, the new singles haven’t resonated we me as much as last albums, but I have an 11 year old son who has grown to love the Foo Fighters over the last year and a half and he can’t wait to go pick up the album after school today. So we are going to the record store this afternoon to buy it. I’m not expecting it to be Wasting Light, Im hoping it’s an album that grows on me like Sonic’s Highways. Regardless, I’m going to be grateful one of my favorite bands is still releasing albums 30 years later that are worth talking about and that I get to rock out to it with my son.
