Overview Edit

There Is Nothing Left to Lose is the third studio album by the Foo Fighters, released November 2, 1999. The album marks the first appearance of drummer Taylor Hawkins, and is often seen as a departure from the band's previous work, showcasing a softer, more experimental sound bordering on pop rock. In a 2006 interview, Dave Grohl states that the album is "totally based on melody" and that it "might be his favourite album that they've ever done." More recently, Grohl has stated he regards the album track "Aurora" as his favorite Foo Fighters recording to date.

Early pressings of the disc included a temporary tattoo, similar to the one featured on the album cover. The album was also re-released in 2001 in Australia as a two-CD edition which offers a second VCD disc of four videos and one bonus track, "Fraternity." This edition has a picture of the Australian swimmer Michael Klim on the front, wearing the temporary "FF" tattoo on his neck.

The album is widely available as an "Enhanced CD".

5 stars The Unexpected From The Foo Fighter's!
I have listened to this album at least thirty times already and I wake up in the middle of the night singing some of the songs. All the songs on this album are very "catchy", but seem to maintain a perfect amount of the raw edge I enjoy from The Foo's. A lot of people who have liked the The Foo Fighters harder work may tend to be misled that the Foo Fighters have "SOLD OUT" to a softer sound. I call B.S. Besides, who else in the last 20 yrs. has used a voice box on his guitar. This is one of the…

3 stars Nothing Left To Lose...Not Now Anyway
The Foos do it again! Erm...um...well maybe not.

After an impressive self-titled debut in 1995, and a strong follow up in 1997 (The Colour And The Shape), the Foo's third long player is somewhat of a disappointment. The Grohl growl and snarl that punctuated the Foo's prior albums is achingly absent here. Grohl trades in the boot-stomping rockers with FM radio melodic pop. The results themselves aren't entirely disastrous, but from what the Foo's have shown us, this album is a step in unknown ter…
