This is how rock music should be, or precisely, how I liked
it to be. Loud guitars, propulsive drumming, hooks and catchy choruses – these
were the things I’ve always wanted but never got among the records I had at that time. Then came The Colour
and the Shape, and it’s got more than what I’ve been looking for. It has parts loud,
abrasive, and unruly and parts quiet and tender. It’s got Monkey Wrench, Hey
Johnny Park, Everlong, and more importantly, it’s got Dave Grohl. Grohl, who not
only wrote the songs, sang and played guitars, he also played the
drums on almost all of them. It’s chock-full of post-grunge goodies that comes in
big radio-ready packages, some of which would become Foo Fighters’
biggest hits. ****
