JamesSOct 7, 2007This album is brilliant. There isn't a single bad foo fighters album yet. Let It Die is probably the best song here, or Stranger Things Have Happened. To compare this album to Nickelback is a disgrace, whoever it was that said that.

JoelG.Oct 9, 2007Great album, they just keep getting better and better. Id write more but Im feed up with people that write reviews and don't even take the time to listen to an album and analyze it. Foos rock. Everysong on this album is worth listening too. how many bands can do that?

ScottT.Sep 25, 2007Excellent album for all Foo fans. Stretches all the way back to remind us of The Colour & The Shape and shows us what they have for their potential in the future. Awesome rock album

MercedesF.Oct 19, 2007The best album of the foo fighters. The know how to rock, and they are masters in that area
-
-
GustavoA.Sep 26, 2007This album sounds like the natural next step at Foos career. A perfect mixing of heavy and acoustic songs. The tune "Erase/Replace" is quite sharp and "Statues" is one of their most remarkable acoustic songs.

BerndKMay 30, 2009A very good Album. The best Foo Fighter Album so far. It's no bad song on this Album.

JeffCOct 21, 2007A bunch of great songs, and a few ok ones. Not their best album overall, but still much better than most of the garbage that is out there today.

charleshOct 14, 2007This is a good album.Anyone that has followed the Foo will appreciate the growth in the music and Daves' lyrics have always been real.
-
-
ReidA.Oct 18, 2007I think it is probably their best to date. It seems better put together and all their songs except the music only song are nice to listen to.
-
-
MarkK.Dec 29, 2007It all sound nearly flawless making it an excellent Foo Fighters album, if not the best they've done with a few, slightly shaky tracks spoiling it. Well worth the money.
-
-
Nov 21, 2011This has become one of my favourate albums, especially songs like: "Stranger things have happened" and "Home". Though Im not really pleased with songs like "the Pretender" and "Summers end" because theyre too commercial.
-
Mar 8, 2013Foo Fighters never stop making great music. This is another example of good rock. One of their best album with some of their greatest songs (The Pretender, Long Road To Ruin, Let It Die). Well Done!
-
DerekP.Oct 6, 2007A sort of departure for the Foo. A little softer, but still great.
-
-
NoahL.Sep 25, 2007This is big, open-hearted hard rock with a couple of slower tracks. The songs are actually pretty good this time around, and I really like Gil Norton's production - much better than the last 3 records in my opinion. By now we know what Foo Fighters sound like so I don't understand the backlash here.
-
-
JackL.Apr 10, 2008It's irregular, but still a great rock album. "The Pretender" is energetic and exciting, "Let it Die" is dramatic and vibrating and this goes on to the sixth track. The album could end there.
-
-
joshrOct 1, 2007I really enjoyed the last album, In Your Honor. i found both discs to be enjoyable listens. it was a great return after One By One, which was not very good. i like the new disc. it's a bit different, sort of a merge of the two disc deal from the last album. love Come Alive, The Pretender, & Long Road to Ruin.

TeriFOct 26, 2007Overall, very satisfying album. Some really great songs. Favorite of mine is "Let It Die." Classic Foos.
-
-
MaxLSep 30, 2007Echoes...is not the album I was expecting for. It's not that revolutionar, but it was close. Some tracks are killer, but some are more like filler. Some would have been better if they were about 3 minutes max. songs not 4 or 5. 7.5/10
-
-
dianafOct 24, 2007this album is a different side of the foo fighters, "Stranger Things Have Happened" reminds me so much of the simplistic sound Nirvana had in songs like "Polly" and "Come as you Where"

BrooksA.Sep 26, 2007Not their best effort because I still hold them in high esteem. Those people who give it a 0 and say Foo is dead or sucks or something...give me a reason why this album isn't worthwhile, just just your dumbass dribbling because you don't appreciate this style of rock or their talent. See them live and tell me it wasn't a good show, or sod off!

AdrianV.Sep 21, 2007Not the Foo's best, but pretty damn good nonetheless. It's definitely one of those albums that grows on you. Best songs on the album IMO are: 1. The Pretender 2. Long Road To Ruin 3. Stranger Things Have Happened 4. Summer's End.
-
-
Sep 28, 2011It doesn't all come together, but it's high points are some of Foo Fighter's most inventive songs to date.
-
Dec 21, 2011I'm not a major Foo Fighters fan - appreciate some of their best tracks but overall wouldn't be a favourite of mine, however this is a really good album. Probably the bands most consistent from start to finish.

HermanA.Oct 8, 2007Another good album by the Foo Fighters, but this is just more of the same. Granted, it's a bit more intellectual and artistic but Dave Grohl has been doing the same thing for years.

MikeTOct 30, 2007The first 3 and last 3 tracks are memorable, but I'm not sure if that's an evolution in the Foos' sound or just the serial positioning effect. Regardless, Dave Grohl has become surprisingly versatile and has impressed this casual Foos fan.

LucasW.Feb 16, 2008Very good accoustic songs on this album, but the heavier songs i believe to be not as good as previous heavy foo songs, all except the pretender, Overall its a good listen! Come Alive is my favourite song.

Mar 15, 2011Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace is not the best album ever, but it's not bad either. A good handful of songs in this album. Opens up with the rock anthem "The Pretender" that is easily Foo Fighters heaviest song. Dave Grohl's vocals sound more matured in this album also. All In All, Each song is good, not great, and certainly not bad either. B

MislavNov 2, 2007The sad truth is that the majority of the album doesn't come close to the first two tracks in power.

FelixDec 8, 2007Mediocre album; even worse than In Your Honor.
-
-
SteveJOct 29, 2007Decidedly average. If it wasn't Dave Grohl singing and the Foo Fighters playing, you wouldn't listen to half the tracks on this derivative and disappointing album. Looks like they'll never best The Colour And The Shape...
-
-
Apr 18, 2011I want to like the Foo Fighters cos when they write a good song, I am right into it, and when they play live, I am right there with them, but for some reasonthere seems a whole lot of filler here that really could have been culled, but I guess that can be said for the majoriy of the Foos releases.

JoSep 28, 2007Except for the awesome 'Let It Die' this is a very bad release, even the first single (pretender) is anything but memorable...weak ballads, American FM-rock cliche's, I wasted my 15 bucks on this... n,o energy, no creative songwriting to be found here... let's hope there next album will reach the same heights again as One By One
-
-
declanmOct 2, 2007This album like most of the FF albums since the colour and the shape have the same sound sameness which means boring even though dave grohl is getting more screams in it still puts me to sleep another rubbish album have to stop buying them now.
-
-
RogerF.Sep 25, 2007The WORST album of the year, Foo Fighters is DEAD!
-
-
FormerFooFanSep 30, 2007The magic is gone. It's not that they need to sound like their first couple of albums, it's that they need the variety and creativity back. People who like this stuff probably own Nickelback cds too. Wake up all you 10-raters out there! It's generic!!

MojoIt's charming, understated and has to be heard in context. [Oct 2007, p.100]
-
By and large this is as consistent a record as the Foo Fighters have ever made.
-
They're sounding less and less relatable, leaving us pining not just for the days of a little grunge trio from Seattle, but for the relentlessly catchy and charismatic Dave Grohl of the Foos' still-fantastic self-titled debut and the better half of "The Colour and the Shape."
