Might pick this greatest hits up actually. I've never been a HUGE Foo Fighters fan, but I have liked the majority of their singles. I only own two of their albums; Colour And The Shape (10 Anniversary Edition) and Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace and don't listen to them much, and therefor never pursued to buy any others.

I haven't heard the new single yet, so I can't really comment on that ...

But There Is Nothing Left To Lose is IMO probably the worst Foos Album. Stacked Actors is the only great song on it. Generator, Learn To Fly, Breakout, Gimme Stitches and MIA are decent, and some of the others are pretty good, but I just find the album as a whole boring compared to any other Foos album.

My favourite three albums are coincidentally the even numbered ones: The Colour And The Shape probably first, One By One second, and ESPaG third

There Is Nothing Left To Lose feels like the most natural foos record, they recorded it in Dave's basement with no time constraints and that shows. I've listened to all their albums over and over again and TINTL retains a timeless quality. Aurora is a particular favorite.

One by one is the bands self confessed worst album, a rushed incoherent album full of filler. Espag comes a close 2nd worst.

Hmm...not quite sure what to make of this new one. Maybe it's a grower?

I care little what bands think of their own music, I really like 7800 Fahrenheit too

I love One By One, All My Life is a great opening song and single, Low, Disenchanted Lullaby, and Tired Of You are all great, and Come Back is one of my favourite Foos songs. I love the dirtier, heavier feel of the whole album compared to any of their others (its like a cross between the debut and TCATS), especially compared with the overt pop-ness of TINTL

Wheels is growing on me. But to echo a lot of the comments above, they have become the presentable face of modern rock which makes them boring, and the last couple of albums have been ever more sub-standard. The last good song (and video) in my opinion was Best Of You. I'll been diligently buying their albums and DVD's but everything after One By One just leaves me a bit cold - not bad really, but not up to earlier standards. I'll give the greatest hits a miss, but will probably check out the next album proper.

I'll buy the GH for the new tracks, a studio quality acoustic Everlong, and the Bonus DVD.
