All copy protection aside, would just like to note that the big surprise of the new Foo Fighters album is the "acoustic" second disc, which I am enjoying much more than the "electric" first disc. I heard the single, "Best of You" (electric), on the radio last week and found it so-so at best. Upon buying the album, I was correct: the song is a 3-minute crescendo and quite annoying. Disappointment! Some of the other songs on the first disc are good, but I haven't really paid it much attention since the second disc is so much better.
If you want some REAL rock, do yourself a favor and pick up Rhino's reissue of Gang of Four's Entertainment! It's a rock critic's darling for a reason. Listen to it once and you'll find out why it's better than London Calling.
