Album Preview: The Foo Fighters’ Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace

Live Earth hero Dave Grohl has mentioned Steely Dan as a big influence on the Foo Fighters during the making of their sixth album, and after an advance listen to September 25’s Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace, we know why: Echoes has a distinct ’70s-rock undercurrent. There are sonic references to early-’70s Zeppelin, late-era Beatles and Bruce Springsteen tossed throughout the otherwise typically loud, brawny and stadium-ready power tunes. Opening track and likely lead single “The Pretender” is a classic Foos tune — all tight, urgent structure building to expansive, choral crescendos. We’re big fans of the more mellow, magnificently Springsteen-like summer jam “Long Road to Ruin” and the spare, almost confessional “Stranger Things Have Happened.” Other noteworthy tracks include “The Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners” (an instrumental Grohl wrote and put on the album, as promised, for two men who were trapped in a goldmine in Tasmania earlier this year) and “But Honestly” and “Home,” the last two tracks on the album, which feature Grohl playing piano for the first time ever on a Foo Fighters record.

Foo Fighters Roar Back Into the Spotlight With New LP, Anniversary Re-Release

According to Rolling Stone’s Austin Scaggs, Foo Fighters were the undeniable highlight of Live Earth London, and though the band was certainly there to raise awareness about global warming, they wisely seized the weekend’s internationally telecast moment to announce to the world that they are back. We’re going to be hearing a lot from the Foos in the next few months: Tomorrow the band will re-release its smash album The Colour and the Shape in honor of the record’s tenth anniversary, and their forthcoming sixth album, Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace, now has a September 25 release date. Echoes was produced by Gil Norton, and Dave Grohl has described it as a mix between Steely Dan and NoMeansNo. Check out the tracklist after the jump: “The Pretender” “Let It Die” “Erase Replace” “Long Road to Ruin” “Come Alive” “Stranger Things Have Happened” “Cheer Up Boys, Your Makeup Is Running” “Summer’s End” “The Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners” “Statues” “But Honestly” “Home”
