A major criticism of the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut was its supposed lack of, you know, passion among the well-crafted songs and well-crafted rock. This time out, if it's wreckage you want, it's wreckage you get. The Colour & the Shape grows deeper the more it's played, with the band's ripping power more than matched by Dave Grohl's fascinating examinations of pain and divorce. There's even a convincing long slow ballad, "November Stars," whose intensity should win over doubters. If that doesn't work, then the screaming "My Hero" will. --Rickey Wright --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Like reliving a childhood!.......2007-07-19

I won't deny that the primary attraction of this rerelease is the amount of nostalgia I felt for the first release--it was released during a bad time in my life, and, in addition to being the first rock album I ever purchased myself, remains one of the only happy memories of the year 1997 for me.

That being said, there is a short piece in the CD's accompanying booklet by band member Nate Mendel, in which he writes, "This is I think the album we'll always be judged against. But, why?"

His answer is that the album is the most "lived in." I agree with that sentiment, and I'll elaborate my theories. Of all the Foo Fighter's works, TCATS has the most depth and range--it tackles issues like loss, relationship struggles, and feeling oppressed--in short, all the topics any angsty teen (as I most certainly was) has no trouble identifying with. Yet, at the same time, the album runs the gamut of emotions. There's the quiet angst of the opening track, 'Doll,' the dramatic reverence contained in 'My Hero,' the whimsical lightheartedness of 'See You,' and the full-out edge of rock tracks like 'Enough Space,' and 'Hey, Johnny Park!' It's as much a roller coaster ride as an album, and while no single song can stand on its own as well as later Foo works such as 'All My Life' or 'Learn to Fly,' every track is an integral part of the whole experience.

The addition of the six bonus tracks on this rerelease only adds to the experience--the four covers are all b-sides from the original album's singles, and the two additional tracks are planned tracks for the album that were left on the mixing room floor, so to speak. The title track, in particular is of note--it's the closest you'll hear Foo Fighters to sounding like Grohl's previous band, Nirvana, with all its fuzz, distortion, and beautiful disharmony.

All in all, it's a highly recommended purchase, whether you own the original or not--in addition to bonus tracks, the entire original album is remastered, and it sounds crisper and more energetic than ever.

classic cd.......2007-07-18

this is the cd that put the foo fighters on the map. they hadn't quite distinguished themselves as a rock band yet, so they were looking for an identity,and got one with this album. there are the popular songs like "my hero", and "monkey wrench", but there are great unknown songs like "hey johnny park" and "new way home" that really bring this album to life. and as if this album wasn't great enough ten years ago they re-released it with great b-sides as extras. "baker street" is a great cover and so is "down in the park." "dear lover" is a nice love song, and "requiem" is a cool, trippy tune also. all in all the foo fighters put out an excellent album a decade ago, and made it even better with the re-release. get this cd if you remotely like the foo fighters. this is their best record.

great album.......2007-07-15

I didn't really buy this again for the re-mastering because lets face it, it didn't really need to be re-mastered(you can barely make out the sound difference except for it being a little cleaned up) I bought this again for the six bonus tracks which were all b-sides. I also bought it for the packaging. Foo Fighters are a great band.

Great album - Exta tracks just a bonus.......2007-07-14

The Foo Fighters' second album, their first as a "real band" (the first was just a Grohl solo project, essentially) has stood the test of time remarkably well. It has the all-too-rare combination of hard rock and melody. From the outstanding "Monkey Wrench" to the dramatic closer "New Way Home," the cd works as individual songs and as an album as a whole.

This edition with bonus tracks doesn't really offer anything new, but only enhances an already excellent cd by conveniently gathering together the b-sides from this era. I wouldn't describe the b-sides as necessary for anyone other than the hardcore fans (though, if you don't already own this album, you might as well get this edition.)

For those new to the Foo Fighters, this is a great place to start, but don't let the "special edition" stuff fool you: the real greatness of this cd is the main album itself.

So glad I bought this!.......2007-07-13

To say that I am a big fan of the Foo Fighters is an understatement. I have all their albums, and a few singles. This is definetly worth getting.

Now I will be 100% honest. There Is Nothing Left To Lose is still my personal favorite cd. The Colour And The Shape is a very, very close second. Don't get me wrong. I love Colour, and some people like this album the best.

This cd however is still one of my favorite cd's of all time. My hero and everlong are just so perfect, not to mention see you and new way home.

The extra tracks are awesome. I don't like requiem and drive me wild. Never have. But the rest I love! Very great b side tracks.

If you are a border line fan and don't really have one of their cd's, get this one first. You will be blown away. And even if you have the original, this is definetly worth the buy.

rock on dave grohl.......2007-07-18

ya dave was the drummer for nirvana but he still went on to form his own band and make GREAT music. he is a true musical talent. on the inside sleeve of this album it states he does vocals, drums and guitars! (with the exception of bass). that is a true musician. surprisingly his voice is pretty good. the big hit here is monkey wrench but they are all pretty good.

The second album=same excellent rock.......2007-03-08

This album it is the beginnig of the big success of this band, you will find songs like MY HERO and EVERLONG, Foo Fighters mix the fun with rock with sad love history, if you like an alternative rock music buy this album

The second best alternative band ever.......2004-09-18

Oddly enough I thought that Nirvana, the band that Dave Grohl drummed for from '91 - '94 was the greatest grunge\punk\alternative band of all time. When Dave decided to be a frontman I was a bit concerned since he was such a great drummer and I thought thats where he belonged. When Dave released the Foo Fighters self-titled debut album it went platinum even though Dave didn't have a band and the album was just made up of demos written by Dave during the Nirvana era. There is no question that Dave learned some things from grunge god Kurt Cobain, but in this album the student becomes the master.
This album is much more powerful and melodic than Daves first, now he has a band! Dave Grohl has now decided to be lead vocalist and rythem guitarist with Pat Smear, a person who used to tour with Nirvana on lead guitar and some other great musicians on rhythem. A songs that really stands out is 'November Stars' which in my opinion is the albums best song, mainly because its a ballad! I've really never heard a ballad from an alternative band before. Dave is one of the most talented musicians ever, like Alice Cooper said before me, quote "Dave... What a drummer and then he puts down the drum sticks and decides to be lead singer" unquote, that alone makes him great. This is probably the second best Foo album next to 'Theres nothing left to lose'. Buy it if you like Nirvana, grunge, late eighties\early ninties music, alternative or just rock in general.

Magnitude warps space and time..........2004-07-20

"Colour and the Shape" is plain and simply one of the best albums I have ever heard. Dave Grohl's musical genius should never be discounted, and his talents far surpass almost anyone in the business today - simply put, he is a living legend. CATS is simply awesome, from the mellow opener 'Doll' to the sonic assault that is 'Monkeywrench'. Sonic assault is the perfect word to describe this album. The setup is interesting, as it goes from a series of short songs, that lead up to big ones. 'Up In Arms' is one of the small songs (great one at that) but its message and length is perfect as the drum intro to 'My Hero' begins. The last 4 tracks are an absolute treat and 'Everlong', 'Walking After You', and 'New Way Home' is about a strong a 1-2-3 punch to finish of an album as I have ever seen, rivaled by none other. "Colour and the Shape" is an absolutely essential album. Many years from now, the ripples left behind by Dave Grohl will be alongside names such as Dylan, Lennon, and Morrison, as the true legends of rock music. Very highly recommended.

Foo Fighters.......2004-04-14

I thought this was a great album. I have heard many of their albums but the guitars on this are splendid. In some ways after listening to Nirvana for so long I hear a bit of them in this album. Even the drumming sounds a bit the same. I could never compare the two. Kurt will be sorely missed, but Dave is still going strong.

Solid.......2007-03-19

Great album, catchy but not overtly so, from soft silly vocals on "doll" to the semi metal screams of "enough space". Even though my hero and everlong have been played millions of times they're still great songs and all the other songs on the album are just as good, if not better. Play it right through, there's no slow spots.

There best work.......2007-02-26

I've never been and probably never will be a massive Foo Fighters fan as much as I loved Dave Grohl in Nirvana, The Foos never struck a chord with me, this however is there best album, I think there latter material has been rather weak but The Colour And The Shape the groups second record rocks!

Monkey Wrench is the best song Dave Grohl has ever written if you not heard it check out Daves scream at the end it's wild, great song really catchy chorus.

Hey Johnny Park, My hero, Everlong and Walking after you are also high points of the album.

There some neat guitar playing between Dave and then guitar player Pat Smear, some smart bass from Nate Mendall and of course Dave's drumming is always great althought William Goldsmith plays on a couple of tracks here.

Although not every song is great, this is still a damm good record they were defitnatly at their peak when they made this record. Give it a listen!

Foo's Colour and Shape.......2006-07-22

THE COLOUR AND THE SHAPE is an example of how a record brings a rock band into the public spotlight, but is not cosidered to be a breakthrough. This album is a great piece of work, because it displays progression of Foo Fighters' sound before they hit it big. Tracks from this album brought the band millions of listners, but the actual record was not thought to be good enough to promote internationally. Those tracks however, would later lead Foo Fighters to their fame. With Grohl originally from Nirvana, this band would would definately have an awesome sense of time, rhythm, and sound. And they do; Foo Fighters perform well together, keep a steady pulse, and use dynamics to their perfection. This record is mostly a light rock sound, but there are times where there is a good head banger quality present. This album is also some of Foo Fighters best work and rightfully so. Once heard, there's no denying it. With rock classics thrown deep within this record, THE COLOUR AND THE SHAPE is a most have for any rock fan.

Stand out tracks include:
"Hey Johnny Park!"
"Wind Up"
"My Hero"
"Everlong"
"New Way Home"

Great CD.......2006-06-26

This is the CD that made me fall in love with the Foo Fighters. It's great to listen to on a long commute because you can sing along with every song and forget about the traffic!

Highpoint for the Foo Fighters.......2006-03-04

I was a true Foo Fighter's fan. Ok, I didn't do more than listening to their music, but I was a non-concert-going fan. That was before I listened to anything other than your average tv music channel music. During this period, I bought TCATS and loved every bit of it, just as I did with every other FF album that came out.

Now, a couple of years later, I know better. All those albums are not of that same quality I thought they were. Yet, after listening to TCATS again, it IS a wonderful piece of work. It's the only album of FF I would rate above 3.5 stars, and for a reason.

Try comparing all the albums. All of them miss the close to inteligent vibe which surrounds this album. Take "My Hero". Take "Everlong". Take "Monkey Wrench". Ok, I've picked the pure rocksongs. Take "My Poor Brain". I'll never forget the giant feeling of satisfaction I felt the first time the raw guitar noise at the start turned into the melodic riff supported by the air-like vocals of Grohl. As with most great albums, TCATS outclasses many others by having each song complement another. It's a whole, with variaty that lets you breathe for a second before going into the atmosphere of another class rock song.

This record stands far above anything FF made, it's like it's from a complete different band, a band who can make more out of a couple of notes. It's that intelligence that let the songs rise above a certain level. It's that bit that make the songs more than your average riff followed by a hook. It's that aspect that is lost in the other albums, it's that tiny thing that makes the big difference between 'ok' and 'wow, let me listen again'. If you were to own one FF album, you know what to do.

love this album.......2000-11-20

this alnum is really awesome. i love the song everlong the best it has so much word and stuff that i want to express to my bf that only this song casn do

Okay, but nothing great.......2000-06-25

This album may not be worth the price. Especially if you have already bought the american version of the album. There is simply not enough here to justify shelling out over thirty dollars in cash. The greatest flaw of the album is that it fails to include the track Baker's Street. Which is possibly one of the best covers in recent years. The album follows the common pattern of the foo fighters, more flash than substance. The foo fighters is a pop band and should not be confused with that other band David Grohl was in. If you are the ultimate Foo Fighters fan and do not own the american version, I would suggest picking this one up. Otherwise, you might as well buy something you do not already own

More punky than Nirvana.......2000-01-16

»The Colour And The Shape« is the last VINYL new-release I have been able to get hold on. That in itself makes it a record I treasure.

But the music is very good rock too. Don't expect to hear Nirvana Part II or somethin'. The roots are the same, but the Foo Fighters play more punkish grunge rock than Nirvana. It's ore straight forward, and especially less self-destructive than Nirvana.

Apart from the great hits »Everlong« and »Monkey Wrench«, the track »February Stars« is an absolutely great song. I'm gonna play it on my birthday...

Clearly the best album the Foo Fighters have released!

The Colour and the Shape.......1999-11-27

The Colour and the Shape is a tidier effort from Dave Grohl's first solo Cd, titled Foo Fighters. Dave's style is one to be marveled at, as his songs have great start, bridges and finishes. The guitar riffs are amazing, fast and direct in Everlong, slow and sweet in Walking after you.Hero is especially poignant as Dave is vocalizing his pain over the loss of Nirvana front-man, and bandmate, Kurt Cobain. The lyrics are about pain, lost love, and coming home. They are always positive and upbeat, and there is not one Foo Fighters song I dislike.

One of the highlights of my CD collection!! Buy it!!.......1999-05-27

This CD tells a story from start to finish. Each song retains universal elements that can be applied to any period of time. It starts off with "Doll," a subtle and innocent expression of fear. It ends with "New Way Home" and "Dear Lover" saying the words "I'm Not scared." Every song between falls into place. Whether you enjoy songs about love, conflict, admiration, or fury, it's all rolled up into this incredible album. My advice is that you buy it. This CD rocks!! NOTE: THE GUY (supposed bob_dylan@aol.com) THAT WROTE THE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK HAS NOT LISTENED TO THE ALBUM. HE/SHE IS FULL OF CRAP AND REEKS LIKE IT TOO.
