âRescuedâ from Preparing Music For Concerts Video Live Now
Foo Fightersâ brand new 11th album, But Here We Are, unanimously hailed as one of the bandâs strongest to date, has become its 10th album to break the Top 10 of the US Album Chart. But Here We Are also marks Foo Fightersâ sixth UK #1, ninth Australian #1, #1 spots in Switzerland and New Zealand, and Top 5 debuts in nearly a dozen more territories.
Released June 2 on Roswell Records/RCA Records, But Here We Are has landed at #8 in its first week on the Billboard 200, while entering at #1 on the Alternative and Hard Rock album sales charts. The new albumâs Top 10 debut continues a trend that began with the back to back Top 10 positions achieved by The Colour and the Shape (1997) and There is Nothing Left to Lose (1999), and has since included the #1 charting Wasting Light (2011) and Concrete and Gold (2017), as well as the Top 3 placings of One by One (2002), In Your Honor (2005), Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (2007), Sonic Highways (2014) and Medicine at Midnight (2021).
Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, But Here We Are has received the warmest of welcomesâfrom the capacity crowds singing along to every word of âRescuedâ and âUnder Youâ during the bandâs current tour, to a still growing torrent of acclaim for the album and its songs including:
âA moving collection that balances raw emotion with the bandâs signature determination to see the light through the darknessâ âBillboard
âExplosive, emotional and inspired⦠Grohlâs melodies are as soaring and anthemic as theyâve sounded in yearsâ âThe New York Times
âA truly formidable rock record⦠so catchy and vibrant, so brimming with wild-eyed wonder. Itâs heavy in every sense of the word, but make no mistake: Itâll still get stuck in your head for days⦠âRescuedâ and âUnder Youâ open But Here We Are with singles that seem to have emerged directly from an alternate-universe greatest hits packageâtheyâre hard-driving career highlights that sound both timeless and utterly of the presentâ âNPR Music
âDave Grohl gives himself over to arena-sized grief, reckoning, and resolve on the bandâs most propulsive and purposeful music of the last two decades⦠offering earnest hope, find reminiscence, and skyscraping choruses⦠the most inspired Foo Fighters record in recent memoryâ âPitchfork
âIâll join my fellow critics in praising it as their best work since the late â90s⦠it deserves the accoladesâ âUproxx
âAching directness and wounded sweetness make a potent combination hereâ âVulture
