Printed simply on the back cover of the new Foo
      Fighters album But Here We Are are four words that
      pretty much say all one needs to know about its
      reason for existence: “For Virginia and Taylor.”

Taylor, of course, is drummer Taylor Hawkins, whose
      sudden death in Colombia in March 2022 rocked the
      band to its foundation. Virginia is Dave Grohl’s
      ever-supportive, rock’n’roll-loving mom, who is
      believed to have also died last summer at the age of
      84. Although there’s been no official word from
      Grohl or his representatives about it, her inclusion
      in this fashion would seem to confirm it as true.

The notion that the Foos would find themselves
      paying simultaneous tribute to not one but two
      pillars of their very essence is eerily evocative of
      the circumstances that created the band in the first
      place nearly 29 years ago. At the time, Grohl was
      still just the lanky, long-haired former drummer of
      Nirvana with a solitary b-side songwriting credit to
      his name. Most fans had no idea he knew how to play
      guitar, let alone sing in a way that would later
      fill stadiums and dominate rock radio airwaves.

Hunkering down alone in a Seattle studio following
      Kurt Cobain’s April 1994 suicide, he summoned equal
      parts rage and beauty on a no-nonsense album he
      planned to release anonymously as Foo Fighters
      through a tiny run of vinyl and cassettes. The music
      industry had other ideas, and ever since that self-
      titled project’s 1995 arrival, the Foos have been
      one of the most reliable, commercially successful
      live rock bands in the world, even if their recorded
      output has been uneven over the past decade.

In that respect, it’s somewhat pointless to compare
      the Greg Kurstin-produced But Here We Are to any
      other Foos album besides the debut, since both were
      written in the shadows of profound, unthinkable
      loss. And while filtering every turn of phrase here
      through that prism may render the album an
      impossibly heavy listen (especially for hardcore
      fans), Grohl (back on drums for the first time on a
      Foos record since 2005’s In Your Honor), bassist
      Nate Mendel, guitarists Chris Shiflett and Pat
      Smear, and keyboardist Rami Jaffee have imbued But
      Here We Are with new levels of depth, maturity,
      songcraft, and storytelling, ensuring it is far more
      than just an album about grief.

That said, if you don’t have a big, fat lump in your
      throat or head-to-toe goosebumps all over your body
      while listening to But Here We Are, you may not have
      a pulse. But don’t get distracted by wondering
      whether each lyric is meant to be taken literally.
      Instead, give in and follow the 10 songs as they
      trace the peaks and valleys of life and love in
      these modern times until you reach their beating
      heart, the 10-minute epic “The Teacher.”

Initially balancing one of the Foos’ most wicked,
      detuned guitar lines against a poppier, uplifting
      chorus, the song builds mightily in intensity as it
      progresses, as if Grohl is mentally psyching himself
      up to finally be able to scream “goodbyeeeeeeeeeee”
      atop an absolutely massive, cathartic riff which
      explodes into a vortex of bit-crushed digital noise.

“I can feel what others do / can’t stop this if I
      wanted to,” he sings, inviting multiple
      interpretations as to the identity of the track’s
      narrator(s). Could it be Grohl himself,
      acknowledging his own inability to save his bandmate
      and mother? Could it be an otherworldly spirit
      simply charged with transporting souls to the
      afterlife? Or could it be Hawkins and Virginia (who
      was a high school English teacher for 35 years),
      looking down from above to playfully ask those
      they’ve left behind, “Hey, kid / what’s the plan for
      tomorrow? / where will I wake up?”

And although most songs here don’t stray appreciably
      far from the Foos’ hearty, meat-and-potatoes rock
      offerings, a couple of experiments are revelatory.
      One is “Show Me How,” which reimagines Grohl and
      company as a reverb-drenched dream pop band beamed
      into their L.A. studio from 1986. As with “The
      Teacher,” the lyrics at first read like specific
      farewells, but as Grohl harmonizes low and high with
      his teenage daughter Violet, a resigned but hopeful
      path forward from despair emerges: “You need not say
      anything to me / I hear you loud and clear / I’ll
      take care of everything, from now on.”

Elsewhere, “Under You” has the goofy, gum-chewing
      charm and phased-out guitar tone of vintage tracks
      such as “Generator” and “Breakout,” while the
      distortion-heavy title track finds Grohl elongating
      his syllables to a throat-shredding degree before a
      fusillade of pure rock thunder drowns him out. “Hear
      Voices” is another beneficiary of the newfound
      variety in song arrangement, from a sturdy acoustic
      guitar melody and Mendel’s funky, vaguely mysterious
      bass line to Grohl’s uncharacteristically new wave-
      ish enunciations during the chorus: “No one cries
      like you / no one lies like you.”

The lighter- and roof-raising rockers are here too,
      such as opener and future live staple “Rescued,” the
      “I’ll Stick Around”-adjacent “Nothing At All,” and
      “Beyond Me,” a righteous, “Can’t Fight This Feeling
      Anymore”-style power ballad which may make you reach
      for your nearest loved one and never let go. It’s
      the kind of irony-free touch Hawkins would have
      positively loved, and just about the best way
      possible to honor the omnivorous taste in music he
      frequently indulged in side projects and impromptu
      cover bands. After all, this is a guy who wouldn’t
      even take a night off from drumming while attending
      one of his own bandmates’ weddings, and instead
      jumped onstage with the evening’s entertainment.

Following nine songs woven through with references
      to ripping cigs and blaring songs, passing storms
      (real or imagined), and reluctantly releasing what
      we hold dear, But Here We Are ultimately ends where
      it had begun 45 minutes earlier: reckoning with the
      conundrums of human existence through the sheer
      power of music. Grohl strums an acoustic guitar as
      the subject of album closer “Rest” is about to be
      buried in his or her specially chosen “favorite
      clothes,” until the full band emerges with a wall of
      sound mighty enough to pierce the most jaded heart.

If you possess a strong constitution, close your
      eyes and you can clearly picture Hawkins on the
      stage of a sold-out arena - his dirty blonde hair
      flying, his arms pounding the cover off of his snare
      drum, his original Synchronicity tour tank top stuck
      to his sweat-drenched chest - only stopping to let
      Grohl have the last word, at least for now: “waking
      up / I had another dream of us / in the warm
      Virginia sun / there I will meet you.”

In this way, But Here We Are is less of a send-off
      than a see-you-next-time - 10 songs brought to life
      by the promise of something greater, beyond this
      proverbial mortal coil. Whatever or wherever that
      is, we may never learn. Until then, it warms the
      soul to know that Foo Fighters are still � here.
