One By One is mostly middling, sticking to slick, pounding, functional rock that doesn't dig much deeper than the usual spleen-venting and loud-quiet brooding-to-bluster formula.

It's hard not to wish that the songs stuck in your head the way they used to, even if it's still enjoyable as a whole.

One By One, the latest album from the Foo Fighters, rocks. Problem is, that is about all it does.

A solid album, turgid and at times stormy.

With every album, the Foos get slicker than before; the passion behind their songs waxed off by an ever-thickening veneer of overproduction. Right now, the Foos are so polished you can see right through them.
