I appreciate the sentiment about Foo Fighters, they’ve got some classics but since Wasting Light it’s felt like they were spinning their wheels a little bit and lost a lot of the feel good replay value that their biggest hits and biggest albums had.

As a self confessed and massive fan, I can’t remember giving any of their albums a second listen since WL.

However, “But Here We Are” has me in a choke hold. It’s so different and so much more powerful than what I expected and I’ve been gutted not to hear much buzz about it on here. The singles released so far did good work to leave you unprepared for the emotions this one hits.

It’s their first album in years that felt like it had a purpose and had something to say and it’s a shame what they had to lose to make this happen. It’s cathartic and really resonates with me as someone who has suffered grief back to back like Dave Grohl has.

I’ve had it on repeat all week and I’m just happy to hear that my favourite band still have it 30 something years later.

Would love to hear other people’s thoughts
