The Foo Fighters' new single, "Rope" was released to radio on Wednesday. Hear it here. As we mentioned Friday, the new album, Wasting Light, comes out April 12. Antiquiet went to a secret show the band did in Santa Barbara and have some videos of some of the new songs.
What do you think? It's clearly in the same vein as "Best of You," "The Pretender," "In My Life," and other 21st-century Foo tracks. But there seems to be an added element of cock-rock: is that an '80s-metal solo towards the end?

Rope was...different. I tend to commend Dave when he takes a break from monotony. It was different musically, but same lyric and vocal stylings.
This album was actually a pleasant surprise. Dave is a talented guy, but I don't think he challenges himself much, or other people challenge him. Remarkably, he managed to make a great record on par with his 90s work...in 2011!
I'm proud of FF for finally branching out a bit more creatively lately. Their 2000s work was usually bland and formulaic. Their newer sound isn't really my style, but it's not the same thing recycled over and over at least.
I doubt they will ever release anything as good as Wasting Light in our lifetime, but it was a nice treat after over a decade of fairly stale albums.
