chevelle Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The only thing I'm disliking about Sonic Highways so far is that by the time the album comes out, I'll have heard half of it through the show already. They should've pushed the start date a little closer to the album release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 All three songs have been pretty bland so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The new songs will grow on me...at least I hope they will.I really enjoyed Wasting Light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Congregation is the first one so far I instantly loved. So good. Now I really like SFN and Congregation and Famine's cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablabla123 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Two new songs:http://youtu.be/4n7DziNjlzQ I think Outside is a good song, but I didn't have the time to listen to What Did I Do?/God as My Witness yet. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Genuinely surprised the rest of the album hasn't leaked yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Two new songs:http://youtu.be/4n7DziNjlzQ I think Outside is a good song, but I didn't have the time to listen to What Did I Do?/God as My Witness yet. What do you guys think?Just listened to both. Really unimpressed with Outside, but I listened to What Did I Do/God As My Witness twice in a row. The latter might be my favorite track so far.

Bono Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Do you guys know how many episodes of the documentary have aired so far? I've only seen three.Chicago - Something From NothingWashington - The Feast and the FamineNashville - CongregationLooking forward to the episode with Slash. I LOVE watching these and then seeing the lyrics at the end and understanding where these songs are coming from. Such a cool idea for an album and documentary. 1.Something From Nothing ft. Rick Nielsen2. The Feast and the Famine ft. Bad Brains3. Congregation ft. Carrie Underwood4. What Did I Do/God as My Witness5. Outside6. In the Clear7. Subterranean ft. Ben Gibbard8. I Am a River ft. Chuck DPretty sure Zac Brown plays guitar on Congregation and adds backing vocals. I don't hear any Carrie Underwood on the song.

Cosmo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Haven't heard Outside but What did I Do? Is pretty awesome. The second part reminds me of queen. Not that I love Queen but really different for the Foos.EDIT: Just listened to Outside. Great!! Just not a big fan of Dave's singing style on this one. Not fond of his smooth voice and it would have been nicer if he sang with a little more heart on Outside, IMO.

headshrinker Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 So this album is all over the net. Only spinning it for the first time now. Not as instantly catchy as Wasting Light,will need a few listens to judge properly, but seems a pretty solid record, really liking Outside and I Am A River.

RussTCB Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I like the album a lot overall. There's a few tracks I could do without within the first couple of spins, but nothing I hated. I loved the last song on the record the first time I heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Two of the three last tracks seem to be the weakest on the album, IMO. Only one I really liked at first was I Am A River. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Maybe I'm just a dick, but god damn everything about this album is lame as hell to me. I've got mad respect for the Foo Fighters, I see what they're trying to do, I want to like the idea, it just comes off really corny and self indulgent. Trying to do the music scene of an entire city justice in one song is a pretty tall order, and sadly they fall pretty short. There are no genuine blood, sweat, or tears in any of these songs.The historical stuff and the interviews in the series are well done, even though a lot of that stuff you kinda had to be living under a rock for it to be anything new I love how relaxed it is. How the fuck did nobody in The Foo Fighters stop and think "hey, that riff sounds a lot like Holy Diver"HOW IN THE FUCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
