Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
A major criticism of the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut was its supposed lack of, you know, passion among the well-crafted songs and well-crafted rock. This time out, if it's wreckage you want, it's wreckage you get. The Colour and the Shape grows deeper the more it's played, with the band's ripping power more than matched by Dave Grohl's fascinating examinations of pain and divorce. There is even a convincing long slow ballad, "November Stars", whose intensity should win over doubters. If that doesn't work, then the screaming "My Hero" will.--Rickey Wright

CD Description
Forgoing the autocratic approach of FOO FIGHTERS, THE COLOUR & SHAPE allows the other members of the band a greater amount of influence, which quickly becomes evident. The punk-pop nuggets outnumber the thrashier moments on this record. Nevertheless, Grohl's time on the D.C. hardcore scene is neverfar from the creative process, whether it's the first squeals and squawks that pop up around the hooks and screaming vocals of "Hey, Johnny Park" and "My Poor Brain" or the alternating, Nirvana-like dynamics of "Enough Space". Elsewhere, the dreamy pop of "Walking After You" recorded in one take byGrohl at Washington, D.C. radio station WGNS) and "Up In Arms" rubs shoulders with the Catherine Wheelish sheets of guitar flowing through "My Hero".

5.0 out of 5 stars The Colour and the Shape, 5 Oct 2007
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This can easily be classed as one of the Foo's best albums and now with the extra tracks this album has just got better! It has some brilliant tracks, 'Monkey Wrench', 'My hero' and the anthem 'Everlong', which are all simply outstanding. The whole album is superb though, very uplifting and just great rock, perfect for those summer days out. This is a great place to start if you're new to the foo's and an excellent addition for any existing foo fans, a must have album!

5.0 out of 5 stars shinin' foos!, 20 Jun 2007
By L. M. Drumm "bookworm2211" (york, england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Though I obviously havnt perchased this yet (but i will be doing) i have all the B - Sides inclued and the original album. I have to say, it is not only the definitive Foo album - with incendiary tracks such as Hey, Jonny Park, Monkey Wrench and the always incredible Everlong - but it is one of the best albums of its genre (and perhaps all genres!) ever! As well as this the B - Sides included - all off the singles of this albums - are all very good, though some better than others. The Colour and The Shape is easily the best of all. Its is a shame that the song Normal has yet to released in a pack like this and if you havn't heard it, it is the best unreleased foo song ever. Nevertheless i urge you to buy this Fan (the B - Sides are worth it) or not (An incredible album anyway). You will not be disappointed. Long Live Foo!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly their best ever album, 6 Oct 2007
By M. McManus - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This album is probably the Foo Fighter's best album, and really show cases the talent of the backing band and lyricist. The album's best tracks are "My Hero" and "Everlong", both of which are absolutely superb, and there are strong tracks like "Monkey Wrench" and "Up in Arms" to keep our blood flowing nicely. The main feature of this album is the fact so many different approaches are tried to tracks and sound, without ever losing the distinctively rocky feel to the whole album, and Grohl's lyrical flair is well exercised by the different types of track. This is strongly recommended to Foo Fighter's fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to the Foos?
I bought this album as I knew bits of the Foos but hadn't really listened to them before. The music is brilliant in parts but vocals a bit too "shouty" for my taste personally.
