In response to people wondering about the first single, "Best of You", I came in to this album thinking that was the worst Foo song i'd heard. It was boring and monotonous, and I was glad to hear in the video interviews on NME.com, that they had originally left this song OFF of the album, but thier A&R guy or whatever was like "hey i wanna hear that song, the best the best the best whatever. Thats the first single". I don't think they would have even put it on the album otherwise.
Anyway, after my first listen through I didn't think much of the album, a few songs that stuck in my head a bit, but other than that I didn't think too much. It's definitely grown on me since then, and while its not a big of a change as the new White Stripes album, it is a bit of a new focus for the Foos and I love it, especially with the acoustic album.
