Amazon.co.uk Review
Every Foo Fighters album, up to and including their fourth studio disc, IOne By One/I, fluently merges rock menace with unabashedly cheery melody and thoughtful if somewhat cryptic lyrics. So while insistent, guitar-terrorised tracks like "All My Life" and "Times Like These (One-Way Motorway)" don't expand the Foos' oeuvre, they're as catchy as hell and well worth the proverbial price of admission. p Those searching for veiled Nirvana / Courtney Love references will no doubt unearth them (or unearth what seem like veiled references), while longtime fans can relax in the knowledge that a seasoned pro like Grohl knows better than to meddle with a truly winning formula. True, there's a certain sameness to the spiky, percussive bursts of punk-pop tabled by the Foo Fighters. Yet it's pretty hard to fault players as palpably enthusiastic as Dave Grohl and his gang. --IKim Hughes/I

 One by One hidden up my sleeve... October 25, 2002

Following Dave Grohl's appearances this year on the Tenacious D album and as drummer on the new Queen of the Stone Age album, The ex-Nirvana man gets back to regular business with his band the Foo Fighters, and gets things going pretty quickly with rock anthem 'All My Life'.p'All My Life' is definitely the standout track, for being so heavy and for being so straight rock.brBut don't get worried; there are a few more straight hard rock songs along this record as well.p'Times Like These' and 'Overdrive' stand tall above the other songs, and are as straight rock as 'All My Life'.brThese are great rock songs, and mix well with the slower songs played in-between them.pThis album is simply a rock album, and each song no matter how slowly it starts always soars into some sort of monstrous riff, or heavy sound, or provides a strong anthem like chorus that Grohl seems to pull off well with his powerful voice.pEvery track is great, and is definitely Foo Fighters best work to date.pSo if you#8217;re a Foo Fighters fan don't hesitate in thinking about buying this, it really is great stuff.pApart from the excellent album, the DVD that comes with this provides the funny still clip audio for 'The One' (which is a track that can only be found on the 'All My Life' single release or the Orange County soundtrack, so this is the only Foo Fighter album so far you'll hear it on), along with the unreleased video for 'Walking A Line', and the funny, but serious video for the leading track on this album, 'All My Life'.brThe DVD also features a photo gallery of the band backstage, playing live and clips of them in the video for #8216;All My Life#8217;.pGoing back to the CD, the inside case will give you a code to use on the Foo Fighters website to gain access to a secret site that contains exclusive songs.pSo apart from the amazing album, this comes with plenty of extra features to have fun with.brEnjoy.

Copy Protection? September 13, 2007

After reading the review about this being a copy protected disc, I wasn't sure whether to buy this album or the original version as I listen to a lot of my music on my mp3 player. I took the risk anyway as others had not mentioned it and am glad I did. Although the disc does say that it is copy protected, I had no trouble playing and ripping it to my pc using media player. It is a brilliant album and also includes a bonus disc which has some really good tracks on too. Do not miss out on this great bargain.

this is a great album which shows off the the foo fighters talents as song writers and performers. there are some rocky songs like #x27;all my life#x27; which makes you bang your head to. then there are the slower songs like #x27;tired of you#x27; and #x27;halo#x27;/ this is a great album and a great way to start off or carry on your foo fighters collectionbrbuy it

The Foo Fighters fourth album is possibly their best yet. Heavy yet melodic, I think they're finally away from the constant Nirvana references have made their own place in rock n' roll.p'All my life' is a good starting point, with a great chorus that should have fans singing along happily on tour. 'Low' is a powerful second track (great drumming on this one) and 'Have it all' could be another single.p'Dienchanted Lullaby' 'Tired' (which features Queen's Brian May) are slower tracks, 'Tired' is a moodier piece and the quietest track on the album. 'Halo' is currently my favourite song on it, melodic verse with clean sounding guitars which lead into a bigger, louder chorus. It's an anthemic number and would make both a great live track and a great single.pThe album closes with 'Overdrive', 'Burn away' 'Come Back' 3 strong tracks. The album doesn't drop at any point - it's strong throughout (admittedly their previous 3 CD's had weak points).pDave Grohl has been busy lately with Queen's of the stone age some new posthumous Nirvana releases but it's good to see him focused on this band. Overall it's energetic, enjoyable rock n' roll!
