Foo Fighters - But Here We Are
Beats Per Minute
73

But Here We Are is such an honest and raw record that it’s hard to judge but easy to feel and empathise with, especially if a listener has been anywhere near the grieving process.

Field Music - Plumb
Beats Per Minute
77

Quite simply, Plumb is how pop music should sound.

White Denim - D
Beats Per Minute
73

They aren’t breaking any new ground at all, but sometimes that doesn’t matter if the music is good enough to hold its own.

Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
Beats Per Minute
81

Given their status, it wouldn't have been a surprise if Wasting Light had been a by-numbers affair for Foo Fighters.

Yuck - Yuck
Beats Per Minute
82
Yes, it's clearly obvious what Yuck's main influences are; they're placed very firmly on the band's sleeve. But with sounds that tie the band to modern indie as much as alt-rock, Yuck have crafted something incredibly refreshing, and more importantly, good.
