On July 4th, 1995, the world was introduced to the Foo Fighters through a pivotal, post-grunge LP that became a turning point for alt-rock.
will be revisiting albums that came out before the magazine was founded in July 2002 and assessing its current cultural relevance. This week, we’re looking at the birth of the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl’s solo project formed through his search for purpose and clarity after Kurt Cobain’s passing—which arrived on Independence Day in 1995 and became a pivotal, post-grunge turning point for alt-rock in perpetuity.
“Big Me” is the album’s heavy-hitter—which is ironic, considering that it’s the softest entry on the entire tracklist.
“Floaty,” “Weenie Beenie” and “Oh, George” are interchangeable, as they are different shades of the same punk rock strain Grohl has embedded in his DNA. “Weenie Beenie” is the outlier of the bunch, though, as it brandishes a lot of hardcore textures—including some mutated, mangled, indecipherable singing from Grohl. It’s legitimately a menacing track, especially when juxtaposed with the more melodic, simmering “Oh, George.
