Dave Grohl’s affecting lyrics are the main draw on his band’s first album since drummer Taylor Hawkins’s death
lthough released just a year after the suicide of his Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain, the Foo Fighters’ 1995 debut was a breezy delight that seemed tonally in stark contrast to the trauma Dave Grohl had so recently experienced. The mood surrounding, couldn’t be more different.
It’s a shame, then, that the songs accompanying Grohl’s most powerfully affecting set of lyrics so often fail to reach the same standard. Rescued,and the title track are the sort of route-one, bellowed stadium-pleasers that the Foos have been knocking out with diminishing returns for the past 20 years. The 10-minute The Teacher pitches for “epic” but plods rather, although its impassioned, static-drenched ending just about makes up for that.
