Having commemorated their tenth anniversary with a year-plus run commencing with a double studio album hailed by the New York Times as an unexpected magnum opus, a sold out arena tour built on that first discs rock foundation followed by a toned down and intimate theater trek that highlighted the softer side showcased on that records second half and capped off by a headlining gig at Londons Hyde Park for a crowd of 85,000, the question looms larger than any in the Foo Fighters career to date: What do they do for an encore?
The answer is the bands sixth studio album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. Dave Grohl, bassist Nate Mendel, drummer Taylor Hawkins and guitarist Chris Shiflett have crafted a 12-track milestone that showcases and reconciles the bands every strength and sensibility in the most complex and confident Foo Fighters album to date.
With pre-release shows already selling out and a long road ahead of the band, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace stands as testimony and tribute to both of Grohls families: the one he records and tours with and the one he returns to at the end of the day.
