Apparently mine is at the house right now, along with the regular version. Edit:. I guess my wife ordered 2 copies of the regular version for some reason? No black on black yet.

Same here, shipping confirmation a day or so ago and then the wait for it to cross the Atlantic. The question is can I stop myself buying a regular copy before my black on black shows up?

Mikizee Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Some trivia - Paul McCartney played drums on Sunday Rain Dave Grohl told the story about it on Lars Ulrich's podcast on Beats 1. Two one hour conversations. Great listen and awesome stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinyl hasn't shown up yet, but downloaded the digital version and listened this morning. Here's my thoughts: As previously mentioned by anyone and everyone, this is definitely a very different album from Dave & Co. But that's to be expected when picking the producer they did. There will always be some type of differing opinions, ideas, philosophies, even as small at they may be. I agree with the statements about the Beatlesque feel to several songs. But would like to add another influence I hear: Led Zeppelin. A fair amount of the album has this Led Zeppelin III feel to it. Even shades of their later stuff especially in La Dee Da. I think I felt so reserved and initially off-put by this sound because I was having trouble connecting it to the band I heard on 2011's Wasting Light. I felt the band had reverted to such a young and raw sound with that album. So to now, only 6 years later (and 6 years older) transition to such a mature, albeit eloquent sound, seemed rather hasty. Yet for what it's worth - I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdoggy Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Well, the website is up. Sheet music for each song on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertSmith Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 There's a middle age vibe for sure on this LP. T-Shirt, La Dee Da, Sunday Rain and the title track are among the tracks that have that strong Beatles, Motorhead, and Led Zep vibe. But Run and The Line still give is that signature Foo sound. Sky Is A Neighborhood gives me a Black Mountain vibe which Grohl has said he loves. It's a very unique track to hear from them and was a breath of fresh air. Arrows (my favorite track on the album) has a unique Foo/Queen blend. The instrumentation and production are spot in on. If they would've toned down the classic rock vibes just a tad, I'd probably put it up there with the first few albums. That being said, I enjoyed this album ALOT. This is def an album to enjoy on wax. ethanpricington and highfives 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near as good as Wasting Light, but a lot better than Sonic Highways in my opinion. I'd say at least give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I need more Grohl screams in my life. Really dug this whole album first time through. A lot of different styles to digest but it flows together pretty well. Think it'll only get better with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After listening to this album, he's gone to that well too many times... IMHO of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
