    A double album was always going to be an ambitious project from a band who generally have 2 types of songs - rockalongs and the occasional acoustic love song. Although there are some shakey moments, overall it's a success. Some of their best tracks are on this and the acoustic disc has some excellent tracks on it.

    I Love This Album. I Didn't Love the Foo's till This Album. It Showed they Were Willing To Do Things To There Music And Experiment! It Makes Them Better Than Half These Other Bands and Groups Who Are topping The Charts! There Music's the Smae all the Time. the Foos Deffinetly Produced One Of There Greatest CD's.

    Excellent album. Could have done without the 2nd disc. The first five tracks are a whirlwind tour de force that carry the weaker tracks.

    I'm one of the people who prefers the second CD (very good hangover music) to the first; parts of which are forgettable. If you could take the best songs from both sides and make one album out of them it would easily get a 9,5 out of 10 from me.

    Honestly did you all not listen to this? It is a fantastic album in every aspect. The rock (CD1)and ballads (CD2) are a great balance to suit your mood. I guess you would need an IQ of more than 20 to understand CD2 but the guitar playing is great, musically it is far more interesting than CD1. The words are even pretty deep and certainly helped me find hope during a dark period when I Honestly did you all not listen to this? It is a fantastic album in every aspect.

    This is what rock 'n roll is about. Simple, cathcy and loud. You can't invent the wheel in every song you write, because it has already been invented time and time again. And in my opinion Grohl is the best rock singer of the present. Excellent stuff. The ayatollah of rock 'n rollah.

    In your honour is probably 1 of the best albums that the foo fighters have brought out. the rock disc i love because of the songs they have on it like "DOA" "iN YOUR HONOUR" AND "NO WAY BACK". The acoustic disc contains some of the best 1s i have heard ( i also own all the foos albums and acoustic songs) from tracks like "cold day in the sun" and many others.

    In Your Honour is some of the Foo Fighters best work, the rock disc is great and takes their sounds to a new level with hard hitting rock songs like "No Way Back" to the speaker blowing anthem-like tunes of "Hell" and "Free Me".

    The rock disc is great with classics such as "Best of You", "The Last Song", "DOA", "Resolve", and "End Over End". The acoustic dist is also great with classics such as "What If I Do", "Friend of A Friend", "Miracle", "Another Round", and "Cold Day in The Sun".

    Great great album. The songs on the rock CD are amazing, particularly End Over End. Dave Grohl is the one of the best rock music artists ever.

    On the rock side of things, I would have to say that There Is Nothing Left To Lose and The Colour and The Shape are better. There are no particularly stand-out songs on this album; I love it anyway. This is definitely a good album. All of the Foo Fighters work has been good overall. The acoustic side is something else altogether, it is amazing.

    Overall good Album. The Accustic disk had some great songs. The rock disk had a mixture of OK, good, and great songs. "Resolve", and "Friend of a Friend" are awsome.

    this album is good. the acoustic side is awesome but the rock side is something you listen to and think yeh they've done it before. not their best work. a lot of the b-sides they released should have made the final album cut cos they are a lot better than some of the really plain things that are on there

    all the panty waste reviews from the so called pros try to get so fu@king deep inside peoples' heads. In the end they over analyze the shit of everything to the point they've forgotten what they heard in the first place. This is a great album - simple as that.

    The rock CD overpowers the acoustic one. Yet among the quieter songs, there are enough supple melodies and hypnotic guitar patterns to suggest fine prospects for a follow-through album that would dare to mix plugged-in and unplugged. [12 Jun 2005]

    Loud, anthemic, joyous and bitter, it's easily the best Foo Fighters album in a decade. [12 Jun 2005]

    It is clean, polished rock with a vaguely punk edge that stays within a clear set of boundaries but in doing so manages to appeal to indie-kids and metal-lovers alike.
