Foo Fighters' seventh album has become its first to
hit #1 in the band's native U.S., selling 235,000 in the week since its
release --more than double the week's #2
seller (Adele) and more than the combined sales of the three other Top 5 debuts.
In addition to the stellar sales story, Wasting
Light has generated some of the most positive critical notices of Foo Fighters'
16- year career.
In a four star Rolling Stone lead review, David Fricke called Wasting Light "the best Foos album
since the first two," while Us Weekly hailed the album as proof that
"rock is not dead," while People's four star lead review lauded the
Foos' "undiminished intensity," and Entertainment Weekly awarded it
an A- summing up "Here's the miracle, though: Foo Fighters never feel like
a backward-looking band. Light is a muscular rock & roll throwdown,
featuring the Foos delivering exactly the kind of catchy, pummeling anthems
they're known for, with total disregard for the whims of the
masses."
