New Foo Fighters album to be DualDisc

Well at least the acoustic disc will be. This according to the latest Foo article in Rolling Stone. For those who don't know the latest Foo Fighters album will be a double disc affair called 'In Your Honor'. Featuring one disc devoted completely to rock, the other to acoustic material.

I'm hoping that the Rock side is also a DualDisc (it would be foolish for it not to be as rock would sound more kick ass in 5.1 then the acoustic). Still awesome news none the less.

I'll definitely agree that both discs should be DualDisc. Oh well. At least it's new Foo Fighters!

The article did confirm that the Rock side does a have a DVD side which will include bonus behind the scenes stuff. So I can only assume a 5.1 advanced res mix is there too.

I hope that's true. Oh, and do you have any idea when the release date is for the new album?

Here is the cover art - a little Cake-ish if you ask me:

My buddy and fellow Htfer Nick Graham and I were just talking about. Recently in Rolling Stone, Grohl was just saying rushed they were on their last album. He said there were two or three great songs on it, but on this next album they really had time and put forth effort to make the album they wanted to make.

Well that's true and it's not. One by One was recorded twice. The first efforts were recorded in November-December of 2001 in LA (for the most part). But the band didn't like the sound - Dave was unhappy with how produced it was sounding - so they took a long break. Things happened like Dave touring with Queens, Taylor ODing, Nate and Chris going off with their own bands. Around May the band returned to the studio (although Dave's basement studio in Virginia) and churned out a new version of the record withing 2 weeks I believe. Raw, unrehearsed, and essentially no Pro Tools.

That's One by One love it or hate it. I think Dave has this stance because they've spent all this time on In Your Honor which is a really solid disc and is more polished in terms of material. But I imagine in a few years he'll come around to liking One by One again.
