Foo Fighters
– Medicine at Midnight
Medicine at Midnight was one of our picks for best rock albums of 2021. This album marks a vibrant and experimental chapter in the Foo Fighters’ storied career. Departing from their usual hard-hitting rock sound, the album leans heavily into a dance-rock influence, offering a fresh and dynamic twist while retaining their signature energy and anthemic spirit.
