Foo Fighters There Is Nothing Left to Lose

3.5 stars out of 5 - "...marks a departure [from earlier albums] with a greater emphasis on melody and actual singing....Some grunge romantics may even hear it as a touching...hymn to his splintered former band..."
"...their most accomplished yet....sleekly crafted and lyrically resonant...reveals a sensitive streak that meshes nicely with Grohl's more aggressive inclinations." - Rating: B+
Included in Q's "50 Best Albums of 2000".
4 stars out of 5 - "...demonstrates Grohl is getting even better at the art of the four-minute single....the Foo Fighters still rock out....But it is the out-and-out pop songs...which make this one of the smarter and better rock records of 1999."
4 out of 5 - "...a rock album that actually makes you feel good....pure sunlit power, a sprawling and melodic album that one-ups its two predecessors....Timely and timeless...the Foos' finest work to date..."
"...reckless and optimistic....sly, classic-rock references poking through the post-grunge....the best Foo Fighters record to date."
"...recalls the emotional weightiness of its predecessor....the band ropes in the full-throttle immediacy that characterized its earlier songs...but the group also pays more attention to dynamics and variety....they still pack a wallop."
"...Grohl is still a dab hand with scuzzy riff, and his voice is in fine shape on the sunny choruses....A spirited album which finds Grohl fine-tuning his pop instincts."
