(Billboard http://xrl.us/FooWheels ) - Dave Grohl quietly
rails against all things monotonous on "Wheels," one of two
previously unreleased tracks that appears on Foo Fighters'
upcoming "Greatest Hits" album (Amazon.com:
http://xrl.us/FooGreatest ). The song has a Weezer-meets-
the-Fray vibe, and it flies out of the gate with feedback-
laden riffs, well-timed stutter stops and a gentle balance
of electric and acoustic guitars. Four-chord loops nicely
underscore Grohl's frustration as he mourns life's failure
to meet his expectations. Foo Fighters' sly, ever-present
self-awareness is still at play on "Wheels," though not
quite as cleverly as it appears on the band's classics like
"Everlong," "Times Like These" and "My Hero." Grohl sings
during the opening verse, "I wanted something better, man/I
wished for something new." For an act of this stature and
talent, it's hard not to agree just a little.
