Writing this review was a really hard thing for me to do. I have never listened to an album that didn't have a redeeming song on it, but that’s what was going on with the Foo Fighters' Wasting Light. The opening track “Bridge Burning” is definitely meant to be loud and grab your attention but it falls short just like the rest of Wasting Light. The Foo Fighters claimed in an interview that they recorded the entire album in David Grohl's basement and to me that just seems like a statement to grab the attention of the indie garage band loving kids. What the Foo Fighters seem to forget is that you can record an album anywhere and at any time and that alone does not affect whether or not your album will actually be good. You can tell the band is just making music for the money and that their heart is not really in it anymore. Wasting Light is like a slap in the face to anyone who actually makes music for the love of it and not solely for getting a paycheck. This is one of the worst albums I have heard and it’s even more disappointing to be from a band that one point in time was actually good. Wasting Light is a skip for all listeners.
Final Review- 10 (out of 100)
