Foo Me Once...

The reappraisal—or just plain cashing in—of the Foo Fighters’ catalog has begun with the expanded, 10th anniversary edition of the band’s sophomore release The Colour and the Shape which includes 6 bonus tracks. Among these are the covers of “Requiem” (Killing Joke) and “Down In the Park” (Gary Numan), previously available as b-sides; and the raucous, unreleased title track. Like the guys at Pitchfork we prefer the self-titled debut to this one, but, oh well...their review of the expanded Colour and the Shape is here.
