10 Big Takeaways Foo Fighters: Medicine At Midnight - Album Review

10. A Bit Of Background About The New Album

So, how much blood, sweat and facial hair went into the making of The Foo Fighter's tenth studio album? Well, the recording process was certainly a unique experience with some interesting stories behind it:

The record has been finished for well over a year: Although the record was finished in January 2020, the band decided to hold off on releasing it because of the Coronavirus in hopes they would be able to tour with it in 2021.

It was recorded in a haunted house: This may sound like something that you'd hear the likes of Slipknot or Ozzy Osbourne doing but maybe not the nicest guys in rock. The album was recorded in an old mansion that Grohl used to live in which he describes as having an eerie atmosphere to it. When his daughters were growing up, they claimed to have seen and experienced some inexplicable supernatural occurrences and bassist Nate Mendel also picked up on its uncomfortable aura.

This album is super dancey - There's a full on gospel choir, drum loops and synthesizers set to "boogie" on this album but does this new musical direction work?
