  • Overall:

    The best Foo album

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 31, 2003

    The best album they put out. A lot of variation, emotion and originality put into this one album although there are a couple of weak tracks (the slower ones)

  • Overall:

    Foo Fighters Rule!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 18, 2003

    Foo Fighters are one of the greatest bands of the latter century, and will be even more so in the 21st century.

Pro Reviews: Colour and the Shape

    Since the first Foo Fighters album was a collection of Dave Grohl solo recordings, their second album The Colour and the Shape is in many ways their official debut, and it certainly does sound different than its predecessor. Producer Gil Norton has tightened up the sound considerably -- his control was so tight that drummer William Goldsmith left the band during the recording, leaving Grohl to record the rhythm tracks for the bulk of the album. Certainly, Norton's big, shiny sound makes The Colour and the Shape sound more professional than the debut, but the presence of a full band makes a difference, too. The full Foo Fighters make Grohl's songs heavier, not punkier, which may be a little unsettling to fans of the debut's ragged, amateurish edge. It's also strange that the album has such a glossy, arena-ready sound, since Grohl's songs are introspective, quite different than the endearing punk-pop of its predecessor. They're also not quite as catchy as before, but the band compensates... by delivering them with a brutal energy. Still, the lack of immediate hooks prevents The Colour and the Shape from truly catching fire. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Foo Fighters

While he was drumming with Nirvana, Dave Grohl was recording original songs at home that never received public release. Those tapes would become the foundation of Foo Fighters, the band he formed in 1995, after the death of Kurt Cobain. Like Nirvana, Foo Fighters melded loud, heavy guitars with pretty melodies and mixed punk sensibilities with a sharp sense of pop songw... Read more
