Riding the momentum of the hit single "Learn to Fly," which hit No. 1 on the modern-rock charts long before this album's release, the Foo Fighters' third record is unarguably its most refined and poppy. The ominous riff that the opens "Stacked Actors" (which sounds like something Kurt Cobain could have hacked out on Nirvana's gnarly In Utero) is pretty much a red herring. The 10 tunes that follow are a succession of hook-laden pop songs tarted up with guitarist-vocalist (and former Nirvana drummer) Dave Grohl's thick guitars and increasingly sugar-sweet vocals. Nearly every cut on There Is Nothing Left to Lose has the potential of following "Learn to Fly" up the charts. The production is big and friendly and songs like "Generator," "Aurora," and "Headwires" just melt in your mouth. And even though the Foo Fighters' latest is seductively sweet in sound, there are just enough rough edges and lyrical angst to keep things interesting. --Adem Tepedelen

Customer Reviews

Amazing Perfect Album
I just recently got There Is Nothing Left to Lose, and I think it is one of the Foos best records they have done. It starts of good with Stacked actors, which is good, and then Generator and personaly, my favorite song, Aurora. All of the songs are really good and catchy. The last 3 songs are really good, Aint It the Life is a really good catchy song that sounds like it could be a b-side or another part of Big Me. All In all i love this album, and if you are a foo fan get it. I recentyl saw them live, and it was an amazing concert.

Strong but not that strong
while this CD has a lot of very strong material it just doesnt have enough. i found only half of this CD to be worth while and the rest acting in as filler. songs like Learn to Fly and Stacked Actors are very very quickly dismissed and songs like Break Out although very good isnt enough to hold my attention.

this CD is different from other Foo efforts because this is the first time since the S/T debut has Dave been the only one writing and playing the guitar parts.

songs like Aroura and Generator are very very catchy and worthy of praise.

IMO this is a SO SO effort from Foo Fighters.

Listen to repeatedly, then see live, then appreciate 5 yrs down the line.
What else can I say, I didn't truly appreciate this album until I saw some of the material played live, like, "Aurora." Or, simply have low expectations when you first put the album in, and make sure you've heard none of the other Foo Fighters albums beforehand.
