Dave GrohlÂ’s sixth album fronting post-grunge rockers Foo Fighters finds him softening his game somewhat, although not in the manner of 2005Â’s In Your Honour, which countered the FoosÂ’ stadium metal moves with a second disc of acoustic songs. Rather, Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace sees Grohl taking cues from his beloved Led Zeppelin, penning a record that incorporates muscular rock shapes with piano ballads ("Statues"), picked acoustic moments ("Come Alive") and free-wheeling, classic-tinged jams like "SummerÂ’s End"--a song about romantic dalliances in the "sweet Virginia countryside". While itÂ’s undoubtedly a mature sort of record for the Foo Fighters, however, thatÂ’s not to say that their edge has been blunted. With the band reunited with producer Gil Norton, whose skill for quiet/loud dynamics did a lot for 1997Â’s The Colour and the Shape, tracks like "The Pretender" and "Erase/Replace" are muscular, dynamic rockers that balance subtle, atmospheric moments with epic bursts of rage. The track "Cheer up Boys (Your Make-Up Is Running)", meanwhile, feels like a jibe at the emo hordes whoÂ’ve tried, but failed, to dislodge GrohlÂ’s crown. ItÂ’s the sound of a band growing into middle age gracefully.
