September 16, 20222 yr Author No new songs on there? I doubt they’ll want to be promoting anything new at the moment, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is just a label decision - they’ve not even posted about it on their Instagram.
September 16, 20222 yr May as well have just went to Apple Music and add their Foo Fighters Essentials from there!
September 16, 20222 yr Author May as well have just went to Apple Music and add their Foo Fighters Essentials from there! Yes, that is the point of an ‘essential’ album! But now it has a physical release.
September 16, 20222 yr Looking at that list, for the most part they are great songs but they're one act who are guilty of so many sounding exactly the same.
September 17, 20222 yr Nothing from Sonic Highways, and I’m surprised that Run isn’t on here! Same, I really think Something From Nothing and Run should have been included!
September 17, 20222 yr Home and Next Year are my two favourite Foo Fighters songs, I've always liked their ballads. Not that I'd ever expect them to be compiled on albums like these.
September 19, 20222 yr This feels like an odd release. Lots of tracks that were already on the last GHs. As someone mentioned, wouldn't be surprised if this was a complete label decision. And GH... Part II release would make more sense in my eyes!
January 3, 20232 yr Author It looks like this has now replaced 'Greatest Hits' as the GH Foo Fighters album forever appearing in the album chart Top 100, with their previous one dropping out the week this entered. I'm not complaining, I probably prefer the tracklist of this one overall.
January 3, 20232 yr Oh that's interesting, I hadn't noticed that. I remember 'Greatest Hits' was still in the midweeks around the same position as it was the previous week when this one was first entering which led me to believe most of their catalogue streams were still going to that with the new album charting mostly on physical sales, but I guess they must have changed their mind midweek. (and indeed just checked and 'Greatest Hits' was #49 in the album streaming chart the previous week, but then dropped out with 'The Essential Foo Fighters' entering at #44).
