The acoustic tracks aren't that great and feel a little out of place. The other tracks are all good, especially the singles, which are some of the best rock singles of the decade. And than there is "Everlong", one of the best tracks of the 90's, easily in my top 20 of the decade. Regardless of "greatness", it's easily one of my all time favorite songs

Contains most of my favorite Foo Fighter songs like Everlong, My Poor Brain and Hey! johnny Park. In my opinion the best album of Foo fighters.

Definitely a good album, but the huge variation between hard and soft makes it a little uncomfortable.

By far the best album by the Foo Fighters. It starts off great slow with Doll, then Monkey Wrench blasts open the record. It only gets better from there with Hey, Johnny Park and My Poor Brain. The album finishes with a close-to-perfect song, Everlong.

@shanespear I respect your opinion, but personally I think you have to look beyond the singles to find the gems on this album. Songs like New Way Home, Hey Johnny Park, and Up In Arms are what make it great. I suppose I can understand thinking it's a little boring, but you have to respect the song writing at least.

I used to defend this album a lot more than I do now. I think the fact that there has been album after album after album of the same exact thing over the last 15 years hasn't helped. If you take a step back, there's really nothing that makes this album stand out except for the fact that we were conditioned that this was automatically one of the best albums from the 90s. Everlong has been prven to be better as an acoustic, the big hits My Hero and Monkey Wrench now seem pretty boring and have been beaten like a dead horse over the years, and I can't think of much else on this album that saves it.

I'm not saying they're Nickelback or anything, but this is very boring to me now.
