Foo Fighters are about as safe a bet as you can place in rock and roll. They don't do anything new here or take any significant risks, but they still continue to churn out good music. They're like that old reliable friend that you know is going to be there no matter what's happening around them.
Queens of the Stone Age worked with Mark Ronson to create their most accessible album yet, while still providing the depth, nuance, and wit you've come to expect from them. This is contemporary hard rock done the right way and an absolute must listen.
