The Colour and the Shape remains Foo Fighters’ most cherished record, a passionate high not only in the band’s largely-temperate discography but among all releases directly following Nevermind’s unforeseen success. These days a new Foo Fighters record is essentially a guarantee of consistency, but 25 years ago, Grohl’s future was as unformed as the act that would form the baseline of rock music in the current decade. Today, Foo Fighters dependably sell out arenas, tour the world in luxury, make movies that aren’t just biographical nor promotional, and enjoy the comfort that comes from serving as a generator currently keeping a long-tired genre from total obsolescence.
