It's hard for fans forget how successful Foo Fighters were in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The Seattle band was one of the few modern hard rock bands consistently produced hits, twice winning them the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
But the good old days are over. Their latest album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, lacks the pulling power of earlier offerings.
It kicks off with the rocky The Pretender, one of the most popular Foo Fighters' singles in the last few years.
The first half of the album focuses on hard rock sounds. While there is nothing as original as on The Colour and the Shape or One by One, hard rock fans won't have many complaints.
Erase/Replace is one of the catchier tracks in the first half. But none of them stands out. And the lyrics fall short - they are unimaginative and repetitive.
