About this album
Dave Grohl didn't just hop on the kit for this record; he treated the drum tracks like a holy mission. The guy tracked the whole thing in a frantic, two-week blitz, refusing to use a click track because he wanted the band to sound like a car careening off a cliff at 90 miles an hour. That looseness is exactly what keeps this from being another sterile, over-produced rock record. It’s got that desert grit that refuses to settle, making it the perfect noise-filter for a long, hazy 4/20 session. You’ve got a mountain of 2000s alt-rock in your racks, but this one sits apart because it actually sounds dangerous. It’s got a desert-dry production style—everything pushed right into the red—that makes the heavy stuff feel immediate. You aren't just hearing the music; you’re feeling the room shake. Keep the volume high and let the record run side-to-side without skipping. That’s the only way to hear it.
