Rather than take themselves too seriously, Foo Fighters have experiments and pushed the musical and cultural boundaries to their limits and have returned with absolute lightning in a bottle.
That's not to say Hail Satin is some kind of classic. Rather, it's a lark, a bunch of covers of disco-era Bee Gees tunes performed by a band who never have demonstrated great affection for either pop or disco.
Dave Grohl’s six-piece finds common cause between gaudy disco-pop and willfully absurd arena rock on an album-length collection of Bee Gees covers and live-in-studio Medicine at Midnight cuts.
This is actually pretty good for what it is, haters gonna hate I guess. Let them have fun <3
Dave Grohl does disco. This is ridiculous but this is fun and also incredibly authentic although plainly vanilla with no innovation or stamp of originality to be found on these arrangements.
Perhaps too niche for Foo Fighters fans but certainly a respectable recreation of disco’s flamboyant aura.
I’m just rating the disco songs here FYI and feel this should have just been a snappy EP.
