That sense of craft is evident in all the songs, whether it's the subtly sly suite of the opening "The Pretender" - after a slow build, it crashes into a crushing riff into a chorus, building to a typically insistent chorus before taking a slightly surprising bluesy boogie detour on the bridge - or the sweet melodic folk-rock "Summer's End," a song as warm and hazy as an August evening. Echoes never lingers too long in either camp, as it's sequenced with a savvy professionalism that only veteran rockers have. Here, the Foos gently slide from side to side, easing from delicate fingerpicked folk (including "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners," an instrumental duet between Dave Grohl and guitarist Kaki King) to the surging, muscular hard rockers that have been the group's modern rock radio signature. It's not quite right to say that the Foo Fighters only have one sound, but why does it always feel like the group constantly mines the same sonic vein? Even on 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace - their sixth album and first with producer Gil Norton since their second, 1997's The Colour and the Shape - the Foos feel familiar, although the group spends some palpable energy weaving together the two sides of their personality that they went out of their way to separate on 2005's In Your Honor, where they divided the set into a disc of electric rockers and a disc of acoustic introspection.
