If we told you that the new Foo Fighters record Wasting Light was recorded in Dave Grohl’s garage on analog gear with Butch Vig (Nirvana, Green Day, Garbage) producing and Alan Moulder (MBV, NIN, The Killers) doing the mix job, resulting in a heavy-heavy monster sound laden with hooks and overladen with a sort of radioactive mastering sheen, would you still respect us in the morning?

Well, ‘Dear Rosemary’, featuring Bob Mould on guitar, is the best song Dave Grohl’s written since ‘The Best of You’, a mid-tempo classic rock whatever-happened-to-you reverie that sounds like Boston played by Black Flag.
