There Is Nothing Left To Loseby Foo Fighters

After their break through album "The Colour and the Shape", the Foo Fighters kept rolling with a new three-man lineup composed of Alanis Morissette drummer Taylor Hawkins, and the two original members Nate Mendel on bass and Dave Grohl doing the vocals and lead guitar. Despite the lack of firepower with the normal two guitars, the Foo Fighters put up a pretty solid album. Key tracks include 1-3,5-6, and 8-11.

The Foo Fighters are one of my favorite bands and the album " there is nothing to lose" has a special place in my past. I previously served in the United States Army and was deployed to Iraq at the same time that the album came out. I can't help but think about my time there when I hear songs from the album. Learning to Fly and Breakout were the main singles from the album but I really like the underrated 'next year.' The vibe on the album is more mellow than any Foo Fighters album to date. There is not one bad song on the entire disc. The songs are melodic and catchy. I highly recommend "there is nothing to lose.'
