Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace

ROSWELL/RCA, 2007

To their credit, the Foos tried to push beyond their comfort zone with Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, to the extent of re-hiring The Colour And The Shape producer Gil Norton to bust their balls once more as they attempted to integrate all the dynamics of In Your Honor on a single disc, but following the adrenaline jolt of opener The Pretender, the most thrilling Foo‘s album opener since This Is A Call on their debut, the album never really catches fire as one might hope. That said, it brought them a Grammy for Best Rock Album, which indicates just how high they’d previously set the bar.
