(Note: This is an advance review. Wasting Light will be released in stores and online in the United States on April 12, 2011)
Wasting Light isn’t going to surprise anybody with its sound, but that’s par for the course with the Foo Fighters at this point. What should surprise you is how tight the set is, and the hope is that the Foo Fighters can really pull off the neat trick of growing older without losing any of their fire. As far as this year goes, I’m comfortable with claiming that it’s a great way to begin the summer, and is the strongest that the band has sounded in years.
