Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Inspired by the American public that Dave Grohl met on the trail while campaigning for John Kerry during the 2004 US Election campaign, In Your Honour could easily have fallen flat, a casualty of George W Bush’s triumphant return to the Whitehouse. That it isn’t is thanks to Grohl’s garrulous enthusiasm and skill for songs that vibrate with Everyman optimism – after all, who else in rock could snarl a line like "It’s a shame we have to die my dear/ No-one’s getting out of here alive" ("DOA") and still sound like they’re beaming from ear to ear? Sprawling across two CDs – one ‘rock’, one ‘acoustic’ – In Your Honour perhaps suffers from the overarching ambitions common to the double album format: despite gems like "Hell" and "The Last Song", the first disc is a little one-paced to hold your attention to the end. The acoustic disc, however, is a surprisingly eclectic success. "Friend Of A Friend", written back in 1992 while Grohl was still drumming in Nirvana, broods with a dark intensity, while the presence of guests Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones and chanteuse Norah Jones – who duets with Grohl on gently intriguing lounge-jazz number "Virginia Moon" - lend In Your Honour an intriguing extra dimension. --Louis Pattison Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of my favouritesI love this album! At first I thought the second cd was boring, but after having heard it a few more times I liked it more and more, and now I think I like the quiet one even better than the loud one. I love the melodies and the calm sound, it`s great! Rating: - Just ignore the dull 2nd cd and you've got a first-class albumThe 1st cd is full of energy, thought and emotion, expertly crafted and never repetitive. The 2nd cd is quiet and boring and forgettable. However, this does not mean that the album overall is bad, as there is no compulsion to listen to the 2nd one and I've often forgotten that there is one as the first cd is so damned good! Rating:  - Slightly disappointing departure from a winning formulaThere is a saying: if something isn't broke, don't fix it. Unfortunately the Foo Fighters have dramatically departed from their highly successful and enjoyable usual style of music in order to explore more acoustic, slow music. A few experimental tracks like this would be okay, but the band have badly overdone it, and as a result, the band's usual fan base will not enjoy this album. The album is slightly saved by the excellent tracks "DOA" and "In your Honour", but apart from that, I would recommend you give this a miss if you are a genuine fan (you can always download the two better tracks on iTunes or equivalent, which is cheaper than buying the whole mediocre album), but it may appeal to you if you are a fan of slow acoustic guitar. Rating: - 2 discs is great if they are full of great songs...Sadly this album like most foos albums is more miss than hit. Tracks like DOA and best of you are really good, sadly I can scarcely remember the others. Don't get me wrong I do like the band, I just find the inconsistancy of the albums frustrating. Rating: - John Kerry would be proud to have inspired this...The first song sounds like Ned's Atomic Dustbin. This is not always a good thing. That said, the rest of it doesn't. Like other Foo Fighters albums, "In Your Honor" sound like the work of a thoroughly nice bloke who likes rockin'. The problem here, as always, is that whenever Dave Grohl can fulfill the promise of his work, the mind-crunching riffola of Black Sabbath covering The Beatles, he still sounds as if he's faking being the baddest bad-ass rocker ever. No doubt Grohl is a stupendous musician. One of the best drummers on the planet, and an excellent guitarist and songwriter, who singlehandedly elevated Nirvana from being promising to perfect, and the current, definitive Foos lineup is an excellent collection of musicians ...
