The Foo Fighters, now a tight threesome, is in love with '70s guitar rock on its third release, "There Is Nothing Left to Lose." From the crunchy, anthemic opening riffs of "Gimme Stitches" to the talk-box effects on "Generator," the album is straight out of classic rock radio. Dave Grohl & the gang are still having a good time on tracks like the mini-epic "Aurora" and the first single, "Learn to Fly." They even have a few choice words for Hollywood celebrities on "Stacked Actors."
