Foo Fighters - Wasted Light album

Over the last 12-months, there is no album that I have listened to more than the Foo Fighter album Wasted Light, according to my account at last.fm. I am posting the video to their song These Days as it has so far been my favorite from the album, although it is an album that has MANY songs that I absolutely love. The tracks I Should Have Known, Walk, Rope, Arlandria, and Dear Rosemary also get played on heavy rotation in my media players.

Wasting Light is the seventh studio album by American alternative rock band Foo Fighters. It was released on April 12, 2011 on RCA Records. As frontman Dave Grohl wanted a record that would capture the essence of the band's earlier work and lack the artificiality of digital recording, the group recorded in Grohl's garage in Encino, California with only analog equipment. The sessions were supervised by producer Butch Vig, with whom Grohl had worked on Nirvana's Nevermind. Since the old equipment did not allow for many mistakes to be corrected in post-production, the band spent three weeks rehearsing the songs, and Vig had to relearn outdated editing techniques. The band went for a heavier and rawer sound to contrast with the musical experiments in the previous albums, and most of the lyrics were written as Grohl reflected upon his life and possible future. Guest musicians include Bob Mould, Krist Novoselic, and Fee Waybill.
