Rolling Stone 50 Best Albums of 2021 - Rated 40/50!
Medicine At Midnight is the new album from Foo Fighters, and packs nine new songs into a tight-ass 37 minutes. This collection includes the smoldering new single, "Shame Shame". Medicine At Midnight is produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, and is the band's 10th album.
Frontman Dave Grohl told NME: "Since it's our tenth record and 25th anniversary, we decided years ago that we wanted to do something that sounded fresh. We've made some many different types of album, we've done acoustic things, we've done punk-rock things, mid-tempo Americana type of things. We have a lot of albums to fall back on, so you just have to go with our gut feeling and I thought instead of making some mellow adult album, I thought 'Fuck that, let's make a party album'. A lot of our favorite records have these big grooves and riffs. I hate to call it a funk or dance record, but it's more energetic in a lot of ways than anything we've ever done and it was really designed to be that Saturday night party album. It was written and sequenced in a way that you put on, and nine songs later you'll just put it on again. Y'know, songs like 'Making A Fire'. To me that's rooted in Sly & The Family Stone grooves, but amplified in the way that the Foo Fighters do it."
Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee.
Crank two amps and call me in the morning - though it breezes by at an economical 36 minutes, Medicine is just what the aural doctor ordered for the Foos to continue dominating the alt-rock playing field.
...Medicine at Midnight is a speedy, hooky, and efficient record, every bit the party album Grohl promised.
