I wonder if the album will be as difficult to listen to as its cover is to look at

Similar to the loss of Kurt back in the 90s, Grohl is left to mourn the inconceivable loss of his best friend and bandmate for a second time. It took some time for him to make the announcement but thankfully. as a brave soldier he picked up the pieces and confirmed that the band would continue marching on. He assumes the drummer's seat and he hits them as hard as he did back in the Nirvana days, each beat powered by grief, anger, hopelessness and defiance. Taylor Hawkins and Virginia Grohl are all over the album. There are countless lump-in-the-throat moments where Grohl spends the bulk of Foo Fighters? eleventh studio album battling to come to terms with his mother and Taylor?s death.But Here We Are is the Foos? most cathartic, but it?s also one of their best work to date. Recommendations: "Hearing Voices", "Nothing at All", "Rescued", "Under You".

As Gennaro Gattuso said: "sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit". When Foo Fighters go for their typical alternative post-grunge power pop rock, it's Foo Fighters by-the-numbers, and nobody needs that. However, when they infuse some other influences into their recipe (dremgaze on "Show Me How", progshi on "The Teacher", or post-rock on the closer), they suddenly become somewhat interesting.

Easily their best (and least boring) album in the last decade+.

The 11th album from the long-standing alternative rock and post-grunge gurus Foo Fighters sees the band finally going back to what made them so famous just under 30 years ago. ?But Here We Are? feels like a celebration for the band and an expectation that they will never sound hip and modern, which is perfectly fine with me and those listening to this. Is this album perfect, absolutely not. Is this album any good, maybe? Is this album a return to form, sometimes above-and-beyond yes and other times no, but it feels as energized as they have ever founded in 15+ years? The opening tracks ?Rescued? and ?Under You?, plus ?But Here We Are? feel like a true call back to the hard-hitting ragers they would have made on TCATS. While other tracks like ?Hearing Voices? feels like an intricate and smooth sounding track they would have done later on and always failed. Plus, they explore new styles like ?Show Me How? with its shoegaze-style guitars and female vocals. Or even the progressive banger of ?The Teacher?. Most of the other tracks are forgettable and probably could be skipped. But the highs on this album really are high which is something we haven?t seen from the band in nearly 25 years.
