Listened to this in honour of the sad passing of Taylor Hawkins, my first Foo Fighters album on this journey. I went through a period of loving Foo Fighters music but it was after they’d been around for a while. It’s so interesting to follow the journey of the band, from Dave Grohl’s earlier experiences in Nirvana to blossoming out and becoming frontman of this new adventure. This album is a great debut, full of rock and angst and rage but more importantly showing all the hints of the band they’re going to grow into.

This album is Foo Fighters all over, from the minute it starts you know exactly who you’re listening to. I don’t think there’s anything stand out on there, and to be honest I’ve already mostly forgotten the intricacies of the album. But when I was in the midst of listening to it, it was good!
