Foo Fighters Tow The Line Successfully

The Foo Fighters continue to be one of the brightest stars in the rock constellation. Dave Grohl has more than earned his status as one of the nicest guys in rock and his band shows no signs of slowing down. "The Line" finds the Foos at their melodic best, chord changes aplenty, Dave's voice in fine fettle as usual. Lyrically "The Line" delves into some pretty cryptic territory that diehard Foo fans will likely appreciate. Check this out..."Yes or no? What is truth but a dirty black cloud coming out of the blue? I was wrong. I was right. I'm a black moon in the dead of night. Break my bones. I don't care. All I ever wanted was a body to share. Heart's gone cold. Brush ran dry. Satellite searching for a sign of life like you. Somewhere? Are you there? The tears in your eyes someday will dry. We fight for our lives. 'Cause everything's on the line this time. Stern words from a man who has been through the wars and lived to tell the tale. Pat Smear keeps on laying down the guitar licks sweet as honey and passes the savings on to us. Never has he sounded more crisp. Taylor Hawkins drum work has seldom sounded better than it does here. Collectively the band lays down a smooth sheen on "The Line" that defies description. There's no shortage of polish. No note is wasted. No lick is wasted. No chord progression goes by the boards. In short "The Line" lights up like a Roman candle and explodes with similar passion.
