i'm "revisiting" this album for the first time in ages (literally years) and, by gum, i still bloody love it.
i'd almost forgotten how awesome 'Good Grief' is.

i did this a few weeks ago
it's so good.
much better than anything on the last couple of albums.
WATERSHED
I'M SKINNY AS A SPIT PAN
DEALING WITH A SHIT PLAN
Ah I love this album
But it makes me feel sad when I listen to it coz it reminds me of how RUBBISH everything since The Colour and the Shape has been :(
^ This.
No wrong ^
so so
true :) i went to see them live about 5 times on the first album tour and the second, and have never bothered since, they have yet to release another album that i want to go and see live again
Godgamn
It's a great album. In my opinion it's the best album that D Grohl put his name to since In Utero. The best thing about it is the quirkiness.
X-static is just gorgeous.
agree with the first album
and then one by one. After that its singles for me rather than whole Foos albums. Good Grief IS the nuts.
EXACTLY!
10/10 album
I cant believe they followed it with evey other piece of shit album there after. shocking.
seems grohl lost his touch sometime around 97 then.
(well not on the drums though)
It's great but it's never a 10/10 album
They've made at least two better records and plenty of better songs. Every time they play 'Weenie Beenie' live though, i get way too excited.
i just think
everything they've written since sounds like Bon Jovi. predictable ballad shite.
therefore 1st album gets 10/10 in comparision :)
BIG ME
^^
FOOTOS! THE FRESHFIGHTER!
