Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0886970918329 Format: Extra tracks, Original recording remastered Label: RCA Manufacturer: RCA MPN: 709183 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: RCA Release Date: July 10, 2007 Studio: RCA Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk: A major criticism of the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut was its supposed lack of passion despite the well-crafted songs and well-crafted rock. This time out, if it's wreckage you want, it's wreckage you get. The Colour and the Shape grows deeper the more it's played, with the band's ripping power is more than matched by Dave Grohl's fascinating examinations of pain and divorce. There is even a convincing long slow ballad, "November Stars", whose intensity should win over doubters. If that doesn't work, then the screaming "My Hero" will.--Rickey Wright Album Description: Includes the bonus tracks Requiem, Drive Me Wild, Down In The Park, Baker St, Dear Lover and Color & Shape.

 Rating:  - lots of orginality herei wont hold this particular version of TCATS to any real standard because a lot of the songs were b-sides added in later. i can tell you its a shame 'Dear Lover' wasnt put on the original release but oh well. When i first heard this CD back in 97 it was instantly a classic and main stay and while i have had more fun with other Foo Fighters material its easy to come back to this one but only half heartedly. a lot of the songs just cant hold my attention so much anymore which is ok, so ...

"The Colour and The Shape" is far from being a greatest hits album, but to me it is THE essential Foo Fighters. You get the Foo back when, musically, they'd matured the most I've seen any band mature in a span of two albums, and yet, were still fresh enough to not have run out of all the wild ideas that make the Foo Fighters the Foo Fighters. Read More Rating: - Good, but not GreatFoo Fighters is, of course, always a good listen. But I when I bought this I expected more out of it. I guess I just like their newer stuff better. Rating: - Old Fans May Be Miffed But You Newbies Will Love ItI didn't know this version of Colour came out until I got here. Kind of sucks for us folks who plunked down $50 or more back in 1997 and 1998 for the original Colour, both X-Files soundtracks, Godzilla soundtrack and a couple of foreign Colour single CD's just to get the B-sides. Oh wait...A320 from Godzilla isn't on here, nor is Walking After You Remix that's on the X-Files movie soundtrack. Where, oh where are those two great pieces of Foo work from the Colour & Shape era on this 10th ...
