You've seen interviews with Dave and his short hair. You've heard about the spring tour with The Red Hot Chili Peppers. You hear them constantly on rock radio. But if you have the band's latest record, There Is Nothing Left To Lose , you might suspect that the band's glory days will soon be over. After two records with Capitol, the Foo Fighters switched labels to RCA for this one, but it's a case of different label, same old music.
Bottom line is that the band has made three very similar albums now.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. We Have Nothing Left To Say . It's just more evidence of the band's lack of creativity. It must be hard writing new material with the whole world waiting and expecting a lot, but others have done just fine in the same situation. It seems clear that Grohl is writing from a formula.
