After I was mesmerized when I "The Pretender" for the first time on Kerrang! saw and heard, I had to buy ESP & G me. The predecessor still remember (at least the first CD) I thought, "Yes you can go wrong there is nothing". And? An incredible album. The opening track, the first single, single "The Pretender" is of such powerful energy, melodic and perfectly arranged and produced. "The Pretender" is one of the best rock songs of all time. On YouTube, we discuss how the song sounds good, sing it Kurt Cobain blessed. I find the Foo Fighters have long since emancipated from Nirvana cult and prove impressively their independence even if "Stranger Things Have Happened" still reminds us of the grunge legend. But Dave Grohl and his cohorts put before an album that is so varied, so exciting that it is a pure joy. Even Sommerfeeling comes on at "Summer's End". Reflective moments and energetic rock fireworks alternate. ESP & G is a Anwärteer on the title rock album of the year.
