On first listen, I said to myself that I didn't want to listen to it again. Foos being my favourite band I persevered and I've listened a good 4-5 times now.
Some tracks I skip outright, but the Album starts off strong with Run, it drops off a little on the way up to Arrows where it picks up again then takes a sharp decline in quality from there on.
Run is up there with my favourite ever Foo tracks, however the album being the sum of the rest of the parts too, this places it at the bottom of the pile for me, just below sonic highways.
However in saying that, bottom of the pile from my favourite band still trumps many other albums from other bands that I like though, so will continue to listen. I may well just delete the few songs I dislike. After the hype from the video drop of Run, it really was a bit of a disappointment, but I'm just glad they're still making music and enjoying the life. The whole band are a class act.
I'm not one of these entitled fans that throws their toys out of the pram if they don't enjoy their favourite band's latest music, as they owe me nothing and I owe them many years of gratitude for my favourite songs! I'll just move on and wait patiently for the next drop!
