Album number nine for Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters and we land at another fairly samey record with just enough fresh ideas to be worth listening to. While I am a definite Foo Fighters fan, and an even bigger Dave Grohl fan in general - dude's a legend - there hasn't really been an album since Colour and the Shape with anything near the excitement or vitality. Sure, there is enough post Echoes, Silence material to warrant a second "Greatest Hits" collection, but unfortunately there hasn't been a bona-fide classic Foo Fighters album in a long time and Concrete & Gold is another good but not great album. Like every Foo Fighters album there are a number of absolute corkers in the tracklist, but the majority of the tracks could be interchangeable with any other track between In Your Honour and Sonic Highways. This isn't necessarily a terrible thing, they have a sound and they are great at replicating that sound, but I'm hoping that with album number 10 they can come out with something truly special, like I know (or hope) they still can.
