    Your Favorite Toy is a ferocious reaffirmation of the Foos’ initial post-grunge power that will overjoy diehard fans, and it hits the ground racing. [Jun 2026, p.70]

    It’s a tremendous return, and all the more gratifying for its honesty.

    An album that’s unlikely to make too much of a dent on the band’s epic career this far, ‘Your Favourite Toy’ is a lot of fun all the same.

    Your Favorite Toy won’t be remembered as one of Foo Fighters’ essential albums, but it is maybe the most honest — or at least the most self-aware.

    Grohl claims the title track set the tone for this self-produced set, which squares with its adrenalised, garage-rock push, though not its cheeky nods to Quo and ZZ Top. Variety is the byword. [Jun 2026, p.29]

    There’s some filler – If You Only Knew and Window come across as a bit anonymous compared to the more ferocious tracks such as the title track or the almost feral-sounding Spit Shine. Yet, for the most part, Your Favorite Toy sounds like a band with a renewed sense of purpose, and one that is ready to use the pain of the last few years as an inspiration.

    Foo Fighters’ second record following the death of co-frontman Taylor Hawkins, Your Favorite Toy, shows an artist struggling under the weight of overwork.
