I heard it's that they're going to strip it down and make a really accessible arena rock album. Something true rock fans have been waiting a long time for. No bullsh*t, just some rock n roll.
Isn't that what they already did with Wasting Light?

Well you better pop a cold one and get some extra napkins, cause you're about to get Foo'd all over you. And it's gonna be messy.

I fucking hate puzzles.
I'd be down for Wasting Light 2 if they can keep up the quality. With sonic highways I felt like I really liked the first 3 songs and could not give a gently caress about the rest of the album.

For all we know it could be a wildcard announcement. Them Crooked Vultures 2! An album where Dave is drumming and Taylor Hawkins is singing!

The result in reality unfortunately probably won't be near as exciting.

Woah, they just dropped a finished EP without announcing it first? Nice move, Foos! I'm downloading the WAV version now.

Just noticed it's on iTunes for free, too. Never seen a free EP on there before. Genuinely didn't think they allowed it.

This is how I feel after Saint Cecelia!

Even the silly, bouncy Sean is way more listenable than God as my Witness. Sonic Highways was incredible to watch come together, but half of a great album.

I listened to all of St. Cecilia once and got the impression that it wasn't half as good as Sonic Highways, which wasn't even my favorite Foos album or anything :shobon:

It's real cool that they put it out for free but I didn't find the songs to be very good or memorable. Sonic Highways was disappointing as an album, but I still remember all of those songs and they get stuck in my head from time to time.

Lots of rumors that the band is breaking up. I'm guessing a new album, though.

I'm surprised that's a "rumor", given that it seemed pretty well spelled out in the Saint Ceciliae EP note that Dave wrote a few months back.

quote:

And, the music? Maybe these songs are the breadcrumbs that will help us find our way back when it’s time. We could use a nice wander through the woods right about now. Another empty journal, another tap on the shoulder...those things are never far behind. It’s what lies ahead in those woods that excites me now....

So tonight, as I sit in my Berlin hotel room on our final tour for this album, counting down the days until we return home, I can’t help but wonder when we will see each other again. Who knows? But, with everything Foo Fighter related, it will only be when it feels right. And that’s a feeling that’s easy to feel.

Dave's been talking about this for a while, since at least the end of the Wasting Light tour. Seems like he's always looking for something fresh and interesting to do for the band, and if he can't find anything right now, I don't mind them breaking up for a bit until they figure it out.

I certainly wouldn't mind if Dave decides to chase his filmmaking/documentarian instincts with his newfound free time. Dude's a GREAT storyteller.

(Also I need to actually go see the Foo live already.)

Maybe they've already defeated all of the Foos and can't continue without lying to their base.
