5.0 out of 5 stars
One by One hidden up my sleeve..., 25 Oct 2002
This review is from: One By One (Audio CD)
Following Dave Grohl's appearances this year on the Tenacious D album and as drummer on the new Queen of the Stone Age album, The ex-Nirvana man gets back to regular business with his band the Foo Fighters, and gets things going pretty quickly with rock anthem 'All My Life'. 'All My Life' is definitely the standout track, for being so heavy and for being so straight rock. But don't get worried; there are a few more straight hard rock songs along this record as well. 'Times Like These' and 'Overdrive' stand tall above the other songs, and are as straight rock as 'All My Life'. These are great rock songs, and mix well with the slower songs played in-between them. This album is simply a rock album, and each song no matter how slowly it starts always soars into some sort of monstrous riff, or heavy sound, or provides a strong anthem like chorus that Grohl seems to pull off well with his powerful voice. Every track is great, and is definitely Foo Fighters best work to date. So if you’re a Foo Fighters fan don't hesitate in thinking about buying this, it really is great stuff. Apart from the excellent album, the DVD that comes with this provides the funny still clip audio for 'The One' (which is a track that can only be found on the 'All My Life' single release or the Orange County soundtrack, so this is the only Foo Fighter album so far you'll hear it on), along with the unreleased video for 'Walking A Line', and the funny, but serious video for the leading track on this album, 'All My Life'. The DVD also features a photo gallery of the band backstage, playing live and clips of them in the video for ‘All My Life’. Going back to the CD, the inside case will give you a code to use on the Foo Fighters website to gain access to a secret site that contains exclusive songs. So apart from the amazing album, this comes with plenty of extra features to have fun with. Enjoy.

Copy Protection?, 13 Sep 2007
After reading the review about this being a copy protected disc, I wasn't sure whether to buy this album or the original version as I listen to a lot of my music on my mp3 player. I took the risk anyway as others had not mentioned it and am glad I did. Although the disc does say that it is copy protected, I had no trouble playing and ripping it to my pc using media player. It is a brilliant album and also includes a bonus disc which has some really good tracks on too. Do not miss out on this great bargain.
