'Best of You'

So my brother bought the new double disc Foo Fighters album 'In Your Honor' a few weeks ago. Besides the novelty of one disc being all rock and the other being all acoustic, I wasn't that eager to give it a listen. The Foo Fighters, despite being a great band, had been in steady, boring decline ever since their amazing 'The Colour and the Shape'.

I finally listened to both discs a couple of times and haven't been blown away, but the first single, 'Best of You,' is a keeper. The drums are thunderous and the song has a bounce and energy that's been missing in their work recently. What really sets it apart though are Grohl's vocals: raw, angry, and desperate. Grohl's always been a great screamer, but here I think he really shines. There's so much emotion in each verse, and he just keeps coming and coming, finally winding down back into the opening verse. I wish I could better explain why I like the song so much, but frankly, I don't know what I'm talking about. But the damn song is stuck in my head (I've listened to it about 20 times today).
