I got a hold of an advance copy of In Your Honor, the latest album by the Foo Fight­ers. I must say, as a pure rock album goes, I haven’t heard any­thing thing solid from start to finish in quite some time. In Your Honor is a double album, with the first being more ‘classic’ Foo Fight­ers, heavy on the rock and filled with Dave Grohl’s sig­na­ture vocals. The second disc is slower paced, acoustic tracks that com­pli­ment the first set of songs very well. I always enjoy bands that can rock as much as Grohl and com­pany can, but still can write very beau­ti­ful songs as well.

In Your Honor starts off with the title track, and it’s one of the best songs on here. Very fast, very hard and it really gets you excited about the rest of the album. From the first minute or so I knew I was going to enjoy this 20 song CD. The pace slows down a bit, but I’m really impressed with this entire col­lec­tion of songs from start to finish. I’m really look­ing for­ward to get­ting a hold of my pre-​ordered copy when it comes out.

Pre-​Order this album from iTunes and receive 2 bonus tracks and some other goodies.

   The I-tunes “bonus” tracks weren’t included with the pre­order. Apple adver­tised this to hook people and simply deliv­ered the reg­u­lar album.

   That’s awful - have you talked to cus­tomer ser­vice about it? I’d hope they’ll remedy that for anyone who got shafted.
