    Anything done by Dave Grohl is bound to be Great, including In Your Honor. The intro IN YOUR HONOR is great, and it really Pumps you up for the rest of the album!

    My favorite Foo Fighters since the Colour and the Shape. The acoustic CD is my favorite though, I can't seem to stop listening to it.

    First off, let me say that I had high expectations of this album. For months leading up to the release Dave Grohl has been touting that "In Your Honor" is the album he wants the Foos remembered by. I have to say that my expectations have been met. This is a great album by a great band. The first disc truly does rock as hard as Grohl has hyped and the second disc has some stunningly First off, let me say that I had high expectations of this album.

This is a great album by a great band. The first disc truly does rock as hard as Grohl has hyped and the second disc has some stunningly beautiful tunes. It's too early to tell if this is going to be my favorite Foo album.. but, I must say it's a real possibility. Current favorites on Disc 1 are No Way Back, DOA, Free Me, Resolve... Disc 2 - What If I Do?, Miracle, Razor... and call me a sissy, but I think Virginia Moon is a cool-ass, groovy tune, too.… Expand

    Critics actually know nothing, that's why they're critics and not musicians.

    This is the best album of Foo Fighters. Every song is just so good. At first I didn't even want to listen to the acoustic CD because I have never liked the slower songs of Foo Fighters but then I tried it and now I can't decide which one is better, the rock or the acoustic CD. The rock CD begins greatly with In your Honor and the quality of the songs doesn't drop even once This is the best album of Foo Fighters. Every song is just so good. At first I didn't even want to listen to the acoustic CD because I have never liked the slower songs of Foo Fighters but then I tried it and now I can't decide which one is better, the rock or the acoustic CD. The rock CD begins greatly with In your Honor and the quality of the songs doesn't drop even once during the album. Deepest Blues Are Black is probably my favorite so far but as all the songs are really good, I really don't want to choose my own favorite song. The acoustic CD is at least as good a album as the rock album. I have really hard time when I have to choose which one to play first. Norah Jones sound really good and the drummer of Foo Fighters is suprisingly good at singing. It gives a little change for the never ending singing of Dave.… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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". While the acoustic disc shows Foo Fighters' soft side that we have all seen in songs like "Next Year" and "Aurora".

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.

    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.

    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".

    Sounds great! I There isn't a bad song on these two records and I couldn't care less about that FF makes music that isn't exciting enough for critics. The songs are great - period! And there are 20 of them which is damn impressive to me anyway... So the guy played drumns in Nirvana. Ok, can we drop that now? It would be nice with a review of FF that doesn't compare Sounds great!

    Not since the 'Colour and the Shape' days have the Foos been on such fine form. Forget the last 2 albums, Grohl and co. act as if they nevert happened, and the musics better for it....can't get a 10 because there ain't no such thing as a perfect album, but this is tantalisingly close!

    This is an excellent album. In fact, I actually went to the store and bought the real CD rather than buying from iTunes. It's worth it. The rock is fine, but the acoustic stuff will surprise you.

    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]
  2. Los Angeles Times

    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.
