“**💭 Thoughts:** Foo Fighters’ 1997 studio album *The Colour And The Shape* is the band’s second record—on which the music became much more polished and ambitious.

Doll 🔵 2.) Monkey Wrench 🟢 3.) Hey, Johnny Park! 🔵🥉 4.) My Poor Brain 🟢 5.) Wind Up 🟡 6.) Up In Arms 🟢 7.) My Hero 🔵🥈 8.) See You 🟢 9.) Enough Space 🟢 10.) February Stars 🟢 11.) Everlong 🔵🥇 12.) Walking After You 🟡 13.) New Way Home 🟢 14.) The Colour And The Shape 🟡 ──────────────────── **🤔 Track Rating Scale** 🔵 Loved — Thoroughly enjoyed it and will revisit often. 🟢 Liked — Enjoyed it, but it’s not one I’d revisit often. 🟡 Mixed — Enjoyed it somewhat, but some aspects held it back for me; most likely won’t revisit. 🟠 Disliked — Didn’t enjoy it very much; won’t be revisiting. 🔴 Hated — Didn’t enjoy any part of it; no desire to revisit ever again. ⚪️ Interlude, etc. — Not rated as an actual song. ──────────────────── **🏅 Ranking Scale** 10 — Perfect 9 — Exceptional 8 — Great 7 — Good 6 — Decent 5 — Average 4 — Below Average 3 — Poor 2 — Bad 1 — Awful 0 — Unlistenable”

“At the end of the day it just feels like a rock album. Does have the three bangers but the rest isn’t anything crazy”
