Foo Fighters' 'But Here We Are': A Heavy, Raw Act of Mourning.
TL;DR
Foo Fighters' latest album "But Here We Are" is a back-to-basics, emotionally charged record that pays tribute to the band's late drummer Taylor Hawkins. Dave Grohl returns to the drum kit while recording the album, which features soaring melodies and impassioned vocals. While some of the quieter tracks suffer from predictable lyrics, the album's closer "Rest" is a fitting eulogy for Hawkins, with bone-shaking noise and a hushed murmur from Grohl.
