"Dave's 2nd album is more elaborately fleshed out both musically and lyrically. This album really bridged a shift in style from the 1st album to the rest of their output. (i felt subsequent albums just haven't been as good, and i just found out that dave grohl created most of the songs of the 2nd album -- i already knew he did the whole first album himself.) It's not as abrasive as his post-grunge-fest debut, but grohl still rips and bangs this mutha. Doesn't sound that way from the outset though, as "doll" eases us in to the rockin' splendor, beginning with lead single "monkey wrench" ("whatever happened to innocence?") . It's a fun song amidst a serious topic of relationship problems and despite sounding like a standard rocker -- i love the raging scream-fest at the end. "hey, johnny park!" plays the quiet/loud game nirvana helped make popular. "my poor brain" is more fun, again punctuated by a lil ending rage. "see you" is short and sweet. The other highlights for me are "my hero", "everlong", "enough space" and "walking after you", with "everlong" being the gem. The song is seductive and philosophical, wondering "If everything could ever feel this real forever"."

"While I I'm not that big into Foo Fighters, this record was pretty cool to listen to. Obviously the tracks Everlong, My Hero, and Monkey Wrench are fantastic singles. Walking After You and February Stars are cool tracks too. Front to back is a straight up rock album. It does the job well..."
