"Concrete and Gold" was released recently. I listened to it a few times over the past few days.
Firstly- I like the Foo Fighters. I think they're one of the best (radio friendly) rock acts out there. I've seen them live loads of times and think that their back catalogue is superb.
Unfortunately I must confess to being underwhelmed by this offering. I think the songs are solid (if unspectacular) but I really dislike the production.
Several of the songs have a weird distorted sound to them, particularly on the bass and vocals, that I don't think sounds great.
Anyone else got any thoughts? I know the Foo Fighters seem to be (unexpectedly) divisive here...

It sounded a bit more "grown-up" to me, but not in a bad way.
This came up on my YouTube feed too...

His drumming really is incredible.
Honestly, when I first heard T-Shirt I was like oh shit what happened... And then I heard the rest of it. Was an instant hit from me. There's not a song I skip on it. Even T-Shirt has grown on me.
Concrete & Gold, Sky is a Neighborhood... man those songs sound fucking huge. Dave's not wrong man... I dig what the guy does all day every day.
Yeah, I appreciate him as a drummer too, in Nirvana and QOTSA. But I also love Foos so...
They're playing in Australia next year, early next year - just saw Weezer are lined up as the opener for the stadium gigs. I really wanna go but I can't afford it. Sucks!!!
