Don't credit Dave Grohl's stint in Queens Of the Stone Age for the hard rock edge of the new Foo Fighters record. According to the man himself, he's had it in him all along: "Hey man, I've been listening to Slayer since I was 13. I've been listening to hardcore since I was a little kid. Hardcore, punk rock, death metal, Zeppelin, Hüsker Dü, R.E.M. Everyone has their influences". Taking a U-turn from 1999's pop-inspired 'There Is Nothing Left To Lose', 'One By One' rewinds right back to the raw punk of the band's 1995 self-titled debut; opener 'All My Life' just might might just be the heaviest song the band have ever recorded, while tracks such as the epic 'Disenchanted Lullaby' and the muscular 'Low' are the recorded equivalent of a band pushing their potential beyond previously set boundaries.
