Wasting Light as far as I am concerned is their best material since "The Colour and the Shape".

Self-Titled is still my favorite by Foo Fighters, "The Color and the Shape" was good, but had it's share of that arena rock mediocrity that they would go onto after that one and just get worse and worse in quality.

To be honest though, i think even the best stuff by Foo Fighters is not even as good as the worst stuff by Nirvana, who of course they will always be tied to cause of Grohl.

But "Wasting Light" is an album that is the best they have done since 1997. Not really a return to form, still has some of the cliches that held them back on the last few.. but better than I expected it to be. It is at least worth a listen.

Plus, a guest appearance by Bob Mould never hurts either.
