But Here We Are is the 2023 album from Foo Fighters, and marks the band's return after a year of staggering losses, personal introspection and bittersweet remembrances. A brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters have endured recently, But Here We Are is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family. Courageous, damaged and unflinchingly authentic, the album opens with "Rescued," the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between.
But Here We Are is in nearly equal measure the 11th Foo Fighters album and the first chapter of the band's new life. Sonically channeling the naiveté of Foo Fighters' 1995 debut, informed by decades of maturity and depth, But Here We Are is the sound of brothers finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life.
Grohl doesn't dwell in the darkness; he faces his bereavement directly, with as clear an eye as he can muster. The candor in the lyrics is matched by the immediacy of the music....[But Here We Are] sometimes recalls the brawniness of The Colour and the Shape. That 1997 record was the last time Grohl drummed on a Foo Fighters album, a role he takes here out of a matter of necessity, but his presence behind the kit gives But Here We Are a distinctive pulse, lending it muscle and heart. While the former is expected from Grohl, it's the latter that makes the album compelling. In its grand gestures and small touches...But Here We Are keeps its focus on human connection, a distinction that separates it from other Foo Fighters albums.
