Foo Fighters Greatest Hits

Product Information

I'm curious to know if this is just my copy or if others are experiencing the same thing with this pressing. Long-term fans will appreciate the ‘how to multitrack at home’ notes from Grohl, but said attraction aside this is straight-up Foos 101, best appreciated by fair-weather followers and absolute beginners. A deluxe edition of the compilation includes a book and a DVD featuring some of the band's music videos and live performances. And here is that history – or at least 13 tracks of it, along with a couple of new songs and a solo acoustic take on fan-favourite Everlong (the studio version appears, too).

Two singles are included from 1999's There Is Nothing Left to Lose album (" Learn to Fly" and " Breakout") as are two singles from 2002's One by One album (" All My Life" and " Times Like These"). It comes with some great songs such as Learn to Fly, Breakout, Times Like These, Everlong and many more. One single (" Best of You") is included from the band's biggest worldwide selling album In Your Honor, released in 2005. Matthew Perpetua of Pitchfork also noted the lack of "I'll Stick Around" on the compilation and suggested that the release would have been stronger with the inclusion of rarities and fan favorites, such as their cover of Prince's " Darling Nikki" or their popular soundtrack contribution " The One". Grohl has also mentioned that he felt that the album did not include some of the band's best work and that it was "like a CliffsNotes version of what we've been doing for the last 15 years".

The album features classic songs such as: 'Everlong', 'Monkey Wrench' and 'All My Life' as well as two new songs 'Wheel' and 'Word Forward'. Over the course of a full album the Foos can drag – 1997’s The Colour and the Shape may be the exception – but here the four-piece never allow attentions or affections to wander.

A collection of what were little more than demos became the first Foo Fighters album, a band was formed to take the songs on tour (featuring half of Sunny Day Real Estate), and the rest, as they say, is history. Read some of the recent reviews, and I remember I was super excited to land a copy of this "played once" album that was mint condition at my local brick and mortar. Using the name Foo Fighters in an attempt to embrace anonymity, Grohl’s first recordings stirred enough label interest to necessitate a stepping out from the shadows.

The presentation is incredible The sound is a tad compressed in some minor areas, but overall nicely mastered.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

I am baffled that this is still an affordable vinyl release, as it should be worth 2x3 times the going rate here today.
