Foo Fighters by Danny Clinch
Foo Fighters released their new album last week.
Foo Fighters have shared the video for their most recent single No Son Of Mine.
It features on Medicine At Midnight, Dave Grohl’s tenth studio record with the band – ‘the pop one’, according to Live4ever’s review:
“It doesn’t start that way: Making A Fire was the first track recorded for the album and was the catalyst for trying to make the record more groove-based (apparently), and it’s a bit of a surprise to hear female vocalists before Mr Grohl’s familiar tones take over. There are some interesting chord choices, there’s handclaps…it’s good fun.”
“Second track and lead single Shame Shame is a slight departure for the band, lower-key, uncertain but still with a memorable hook.”
“There the surprises pretty much end. The title-track does have some slinky bass, Nile Rodgers-style guitar and so is a bit Bowie-disco, but there’s the crux; Dave Grohl has already said that’s what he was going for, and from that perspective it’s a relative success.”
“But does flagging up the influences compensate for the lack of originality? That’s for the listener to decide.”
