Good record, great band!
5 out of 5 stars
Good record, great band!
Great record! Foo Fighters rock! I had to return the first one because of a LOUD rumble on the first track of both records. Had me thinking the bearing on my vintage DD TT was going. Tried another album, dead quiet....replacement is quiet also. No matter which direction I load the photo it is sideways. LOL....effin' Amazon!

    5.0 out of 5 stars "There's a world out there, don't you deny me"

    Bought this about a year ago when I first heard "The Pretender" on the radio. The CD was the best one I bought all year and I still play it often. Every track is awesome and there is a lot of depth and variety. There is nothing weak here. It was the first Foo Fighters CD I bought (I know, where have I been?). I knew some of their songs, of course, but never liked any enough to buy the albums until "The Pretender." Since then, I've bought "The Colour and the Shape" and "One By One." Both are great especially with the extra tracks (I'm a Gary Numan and Psychedelic Furs fan, so I was pleased to see them do covers by those artists), but "Echoes..." is still my favorite (the CD title reminds me of the Husker Du song "Charity, Chastity, Prudence, and Hope"). If you haven't bought this yet, what are you waiting for, extra tracks? This one is too good to wait.

    "The Pretender"--The song that turned me into a Foo Fighters fan! Rocks and has a unique sound. The lyrics always makes me think of that Sesame Street tune "One of these things is not like the other..." I'm just cooky that way.
    "Let It Die"--OK this is getting A LOT of play on the radio. Usually I get sick of songs that get so much play, but this one is so amazing I don't mind hearing it two or three times a day on the rock station. I really like the delicate guitar at the beginning, especially during the repeating "Why'd you have to go and let it die." Then, of course, it explodes! Vocals are excellent, too.
    "Erase/Replace"--I like the whiny guitar opening and the high octane riff. Almost punk until it gets to the slower chorus.
    "Long Road To Ruin"--Sounds a little more pop and mainstream. I thought it makes a good candidate for a single (which are not always the best songs on the albums, of course), and doing some research, discovered it was the second single. I haven't heard it on the radio which is a good thing because I could see myself getting sick of this one. Good song but probably my least favorite on the CD (besides the instrumental) because it lacks the edge of the other tracks.
    "Come Alive"--Nice, relaxing, laid-back track that builds up tempo and explodes at the end. I really like this one.
    "Stranger Things Have Happened"--Slow, acoustic number about loneliness.

    "Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running)"--Drums kick on this one. The beginning sounds like the song is about to explode but it settles down and turns into a very accessible track along the lines of "Long Road To Ruin" but with an edge.
    "Summer's Edge"--This one has kind of a country rock sound: "Sweet Virginia countryside, I will meet you there, bloody lips and cherry wine, moonshine in your hair."
    "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners"--Very impressive guitar work on this instrumental.
    "Statues"--Great track! I like the laid-back feel with the piano and the drums that beef up the sound as well as the lyrics: "We're just ordinary people you and me, time will turn us into statues eventually."
    "But, Honestly"--Mostly just vocals and strumming guitar until the other instruments kick in to the repeating "Give it to you." I like the scale guitar solo. This one is not as memorable as the others, probably because it is near the end.
    "Home"--Quiet, slow song with soft vocals and piano built up with drum and orchestra. Pleasant way to end an excellent album.

    You know what to expect from a Foo Fighters album: catchy riffs, belted out choruses, and some acoustic guitar here and there. Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace has all that and a little more.

    1. The Pretender 10/10: This song was amazing the first time I heard it, but subsequent listens made me realize there really isn't more to it than I heard on the first listen. It's still a really great rock song, very radio friendly.
    2. Let It Die 9/10: Following in the steps of "February Stars" and other Foo Fighters songs that start soft and end screaming, this song would be perfect if the lyrics weren't so repetitive.
    3. Erase/Replace 6/10: I didn't like this one the first time I heard it. The verses aren't bad, but the chorus really doesn't work. It is starting to grow on me a bit though.
    4. Long Road to Ruin 7/10: These days, subtle war songs work better than obvious ones, and this song works; I suppose.
    5. Come Alive 8/10: The "Come Alive" constantly in the background toward the end help to ruin the potential this song had to be one of the Foo Fighters' best. The demo version on "The Pretender" single isn't as good as this album version, just in case you were planning on buying "The Pretender" single.
    6. Stranger Things Have Happened 9/10: Gee, you think Dave likes to smoke? Though rather mellow, it's a very catchy song.
    7. Cheer Up Boys (Your Make Up Is Running) 8/10: Makeup is one word. While we're at it, there should be a comma after "Patience" in the album's title, and no comma after "But" in "But, Honestly."
    8. Summer's End 9/10: The classic rock influence is very obvious here. The lyrics have the same meaninglessness as the Foo Fighters' first album, but it's still an enjoyable song.
    9. The Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners 2/10: An acoustic instrumental, yeah... that's why you buy a Foo Fighters album.
    10. Statues 5/10: It's an okay song, but it's just not my thing.
    11. But, Honestly 6/10: It's an okay song, but it's nothing special.
    12. Home 3/10: This one is way too artsy. Much like "Friend of a Friend" from the last album, it attempts to impose a greatness that it really doesn't have.

    In general, this album has two weak points:
    * Some of the songs just aren't very captivating, namely the last four
    * Just about all of the songs are rather repetitive, but that's nothing new
    It's still a really good album, and it's rather versatile, but it's not really a legitimate candidate for the Foo Fighters' best.

    Mit Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace haben die Foo Fighters 2007 ein Album geschaffen, das ihre Vielseitigkeit und ihr Gespür für Emotionen eindrucksvoll unter Beweis stellt. Produziert von Gil Norton, gelingt ihnen eine perfekte Balance zwischen roher Rockenergie und introspektiver Feinfühligkeit, was das Album zu einem ihrer vielseitigsten Werke macht.

    Der energiegeladene Opener „The Pretender“ ist eine kraftvolle Rockhymne mit treibendem Riff und einer unvergesslichen Melodie – ein Song, der sofort ins Ohr geht und dort bleibt. Mit „Long Road to Ruin“ beweist die Band, wie eingängig Alternative Rock klingen kann, während sie in „Let It Die“ eine faszinierende Dynamik zwischen zarten Akustikpassagen und explosiven Ausbrüchen aufbauen.

    Besonders beeindruckend sind die ruhigeren Momente wie „Stranger Things Have Happened“ und „Home“. Diese Songs zeigen Dave Grohls Talent für emotionale Tiefe und beweisen, dass die Band weit mehr beherrscht als reine Rockhymnen.

    Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace ist ein Album, das sowohl mitreißende Energie als auch nachdenkliche Ruhe bietet. Es ist ein reifes Werk, das zeigt, wie die Foo Fighters sich weiterentwickelt haben, ohne ihre Wurzeln zu vergessen.

    com um set que mais parece uma coletânea, esse disco ainda vem numa capa dupla, com encartes com fotos, e uma qualidade de áudio excepcional.

    Só senti falta das letras completas, a banda optou em colocar somente a letra dos refrões.

    Ótima compra, ótimo preço e envio rápido, recomendo.
