Every city has a sound. Every sound has a story.

Under this concept was 'Sonic Highways'. 8 songs written and recorded in 8 different studios across the USA distributed. Influences on the lyrics had several interviews with icons of the most influential scenes of different cities (Mostly you will love these icons and various producers in EN is not known, see 'Sonic Highways', Episode 2 Washington DC) But I'm not writing here to the origin to explain or evaluate the TV series. Those who are interested, the documentation should look at themselves.
The fact is that what Dave Grohl & colleagues we deliver here once premium music.
Each song has its own character and has various influences from various genres. For example, you can see in the second song 'The Feast And The Famine' clear punk elements and therefore this belongs to 'Sonic Highways' to the harder songs. Of course, I could now evaluate each einzelen song, but that's a matter of taste. Every song has succeeded, as he was admitted. Listless, musical Hingerotze you will not find here. In my opinion, there are really only a weak song, 'What Did I Do? / God As My Witness', but this is due to the design of the song as a kind of musical or rock opera (I was somehow on the concept of Green Day's '21st Century Breakdown' remembers) but this does not hurt the album, the song mentioned is simply not my cup of tea, another he is sure to please.

Although I can say about 'Sonic Highways' so far only positive, you should not listen to the new plant of the Foo Fighters with incorrect or too high expectations. In my opinion, the previous album 'Wasting Light' a small step is better. Why is that, I try to explain briefly.
Every song on 'Sonic Highways' is musically perfectly composed. However, some songs sound more after than others. And therein lies the key factor: on 'Wasting Light' it was just so bombarded with catchy tunes and songs that were perfect for Mitbrüllen. If I'm honest, I can 'Wasting Light' even after 3 1/2 years to give more in the loop without finding it boring.
Until now I was able to 'Sonic Highways' -verhältnismäßig as seen not identify so many songs that force me to imaginary on percussion Kloppen or such a Mitbrüll quality such as 'Rope', 'These Days' or 'Walk' exhibit , Do not get me wrong, in my opinion, are 7 of 8 songs really good, almost perfect rock songs that you can always give, but they were certainly not written to the catchy tunes or radio Kracher of the decade to be (consider the making of the album ). Suitable for Mitbrüllen are sure the first 3 songs as the rear 'I Am A River'.

'Sonic Highways' is a unique album, which has been developed in a very experimental, but successful, concept. I bow again before the courage, the Foo Fighters had to expend in order to create such an album to experimentation. When the Foo Fighters one can never be accused of, it is certainly the fact that there is no album in the last 10 years may sound identical or incurred under the same circumstances ('Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace' for example with a mixture of acoustic completely absorbed and "Electrical" shares, 'Wasting Light' in Grohl's garage ...) -. This makes the Foo Fighters to one of the best bands that get to hear the world right.

In conclusion, that 'Sonic Highways' is absolutely first class and certainly one of the best Foo Fighters albums. Making the effects of different genres on individual songs 'Sonic Highways' varied and so the work never loses pace. Something softer sound than its predecessor, but that hurts the album in any way. 8 songs with her completely own story in its origin, 8 songs with different sound. The concept works:

Every city has a sound. Every sound has a story.

Addendum:
Concerning 'What Did I Do / God As My Witness'; after a week I take my description as a 'weak' definitely return! The song does not belong still to my favorites on the album, but the song has its own character and perhaps even stands herraus most. For those who at the beginning also can not start as much with some songs I prescribe urgently to listen to the songs several times.
