You have Nothing to Lose

Advantages: It's a good album with plenty of pop appeal
Disadvantages: But it's not their best - the poppier direction may alienate some

...If you’re already a fan of Foo Fighters (or Nirvana) then I reckon you’re probably going to like this, the latest offering from Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters. Yes, just in case anyone doesn’t know, I’ll provide some background… Ahem. Once upon a time there was a band called Nirvana that practically ruled the planet. Well, that’s not really very good is it? No, but everyone must know this bit. More importantly, for anyone who lost interest after Kurt’s suicide (or otherwise) is the fact that drummer of said band (the aforementioned Dave Grohl) has since continued with his own band under the moniker Foo Fighters. Their self-titled debut (really little more than a glorified one-man demo) was released within a year of Kurt’s death. Despite this, it was a very good record and the Foos were...

Review of There Is Nothing Left to Lose - Foo Fighters

What have you left to lose

Advantages: Very good album with wide appeal
Disadvantages: Probably not as good as 'The Colour...', poppier, could be longer, not sure about 'lastability'

Review of There Is Nothing Left to Lose - Foo Fighters

they had nothing left to lose

Advantages: Great music
Disadvantages: A little 'poppy'

...I borrowed this album from a friend after downloading a few of the songs of the net. At first I was a bit disheartened, as the CD has no track listings. This seems soooo strange, why include no track listings?? Anyway, after listening to the album I was soooo happy. I can safely say that all of the songs are good. I was a bit disappointed that some of the heavier punk rock music has disappeared, there are no songs like 'Monkeywrench' on this album. The album seems a little on the pop music side. But it is still very good. Favourite songs are, 'Gimme Stitches', 'Breakout' and 'Aurora'. But all of the other songs are still great! The videos to all of the songs which have been released are also extra good.
