Music review: foofighters' new album ButHereWeAre grapples with loss after the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins
"But Here We Are" sounds like the most grown-up of the 11 studio records from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band, a vintage recipe of relentless guitar riffs, unsettled yet subtly sweet melodies, and the raging, raspy vocals of frontman Dave Grohl.
Grohl's grappling with loss -- the album is dedicated to Hawkins and his mother, Virginia -- is painfully palpable and artfully woven throughout the 10 songs. There's no escaping each facet of grief in these characteristically uncomplicated lyrics that are about coping, reflecting and realizing life must go on.
