Foo Fighters Sonic Highways

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "These songs are some of the band's most ambitious moments yet. The closer, 'I Am a River,' grows from sprawling to self-righteous over seven minutes, with Grohl getting emotional on top of an orchestra."
"[T]eir most pleasurable album since THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE, with which it shares a goofy penchant for classic-rock quotation and pastiche."
4 stars out of 5 -- "'In The Clear' is a massive anthem with a thick, punchy brass section..."
Paste (magazine) - "The chunky rock elements that have become signature Foo Fighters remain consistent throughout Sonic Highways and are exemplified in lead single and opening track 'Something from Nothing'..."
Clash (Magazine) - "SONIC HIGHWAYS opens with the comparatively explosive 'Something From Nothing' a classic Grohl-into-a-froth affair, clear of visual metaphor, that treads its way into life with a steady pace before stamping its feet down and screaming at the sky."
