Big riffs battle with the kind of nagging singalong choruses the band have avoided over the years, a combination that makes Medicine at Midnight rush by with the intoxication of a good night out

This is a characteristically strong, uncharacteristically sloppy (in a good way!), album by one of the few remaining shining lights of rock music. Greatness is almost a given at this stage

Celebratory to the bone, the tenth Foo Fighters recording adventure is a bit like finding yourself on the best rollercoaster ride in town on a hot summer day, joyously terrifying in places, it ends well

It's slinky. It's shimmery. It gets a bit Bowie and boasts one of the best songs they've ever recorded. Album 10 is the soundtrack to the summer we all crave

Whilst the record may take a few listens for it to be fully appreciated, there are some innovative sounds and overall it’s fun to listen to. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely

For the most part, Medicine at Midnight isn't good because of the ways it pushes the envelope, but because of how upholds the band's status as rock torchbearers. This is the Foos doing what they do best

Medicine at Midnight finds Foo Fighters flirting with danceable rhythms and pop melodies. It's a fun album but might be polarizing just the same

Strangely impersonal, with little to declare beyond its maker skill at the form. The lyrics, meanwhile, are often undercooked. Print edition only
