Best of or Greatest Hits - the Foo Fighters at their very be
Kenny A | Perth, Western Australia | 11/03/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Many think a Greatest Hits release is just the record company cashing in on music that fans already own or that the Greatest Hits omits what they consider to be the best tracks and for some the Foo Fighters Greatest Hits may be looked on in this way. You will never please everyone!



For me, if most of the tracks are ones I would include in a playlist taken from the band's many albums, then the Greatest Hits is probably just that and with this release that is certainly the case.



The good thing about the Foo Fighters music is that whether released as a single or not their "Hits" ar really the best of their album tracks, some happen to have achieved commercial succcess, other great songs getting no air play at all but all are great examples of the band's music.



From hit tracks like the 'Pretender from Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace through to This is a Call and Big Me from their debut release, Foo Fightes, this is the band at their best, a great representation of the Foo Fighter's first 15 years and a great cd for those that want a first taste of the band, are casual fans or already have the music but want a listen to the best without changing from CD to CD.



To top it off, and selling in Australia at the same price as a normal new release CD, comes a second DVD disc containing all the Greatest Hits Videos so you can listen while watching your heros and enjoying the warped humour that has become a trademark of the bands releases over the years.



Great value and highly recommended!"
So-so compilation, better if you get the videography
E-ROCK | Milwaukee, WI USA | 11/03/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)

"FIrst off, it's always disappointing that bands are required by their labels to release a greatest hits compilation, especially with such a great band as the Foo Fighters who have enough solid albums that they don't really need a greatest hits compilation.



This disc is great for people who want an introduction to the past decade + of Foo Fighters music but in all honesty, with the catalogue the Foo Fighters have, they should have had a double-disc Greatest Hits. From this is missing the singles: Walking After You, I'll Stick Around (yeah I know the Foos don't care for it, but truth is, it was a single), For All The Cows, The One, Generator, Tired of You, Low, and No Way Back.



The bonus tracks are highly disappointing as I was pumped to hear them after the Foo Fighters website was promoting them as the Foos next giant arena rock tunes.



And the Everlong acoustic version is a bit unnecessary. The best acoustic version of that song recorded was from the 2 Meter Sessions; I would suggest checking it out on Youtube if you've never seen it.



The Videography is nice and long sought after for my personal collection. The Foo Fighters have always had fun and artistic videos to compliment their songs.



So yeah, overall, unless you're buying the Deluxe edition with the videography, the CD isn't really worth the time for true fans and might be worth it for new listeners!



Greatest Hits (Deluxe CD/DVD)"
A Great Introduction

"I bought this for my boyfriend because I already have almost every Foo Fighter song there is. It is a really great introduction and I especially love the DVD with all the videos because they are hilarious!! You know what you're getting with this CD, and you already know it's great. I would recommend this for new fans of the Foos, as an introduction, or just something for a casual fan to listen to. Not one bad song on this CD/DVD. I love it!"
