I'm a cynical bastard

I'm trying hard to like the new Foo Fighters album. And why shouldn't I? Dave Grohl was in Nirvana. Dude's a drummer (I was once) who plays guitar (I want to learn) and who sings (I can't). Then there's this thing about the record being a Grammy-nominated album of the year. But I just want to hear the rocking songs, the ones with those hugely massive guitar hooks the Foos are really good at. I mean, these are the guys who created a hook that absolutely REQUIRED air guitaring: All My Life, the first track of One by One, at 3:26. Tell me that song doesn't make you want to slam some fake power chords on your steering wheel while stuck in rush hour traffic. But on Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace, while I appreciate the nice piano-accompanied, well-sung pieces, in the end, I'm just eh, meh. Those songs may get critical acclaim, but to me they mean fewer guitar hooks on an album. I want my loud guitar, even if you're really good at the other stuff. Sorry Dave.
