I'm excited about the video tomorrow! i keep listening to the song and humming 'shame shame' all day. The only part i don't like as much is the 'oooh oh' at the end,i agree about the build up. i thought that it would be more of a 'dance' type song but it has a dark vibe and i'm listening now to Dave's interviews (thanks FFL) saying this, why they chose it and that the rest of the album is like what i had read so far. Looking forward to it!
The first track played from IYH was 'Friend of Friend'...technically ๐
'Razor' was written and first played for a benefit show 6 months before the album came out. I'm not sure if the studio version was played before we heard 'Best of You' though
So far, I'm not totally digging this as the 1st single of their new album. I also agree with those that think vocals could have been pulled up a bit more in the mix. Maybe it'll grow on me like Rope did, but i have a feeling it's going to fall more in the category of The Sky Is A Neighborhood. It'll end up being fine, just not near the top of my favorite Foo Fighters songs.
What I keep thinking about, is how is Dave going to pull this song off live after being on tour for months? The last time I saw them in St. Paul in 2018, Dave's voice was so shot, that i can't see a way he could have pulled off this song at any point during the show.

Yes - it feels like a mid album track which makes it an odd choice to be the initial release from the album.
I'm looking forward to the album and hearing the song in context with the other tracks.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the video tomorrow! Super excited!!
Me too! Definitely
it's like kicking off with 'See You' as the lead single for TCATS, or 'Razor' as a lead single, or 'Tired of You'.
๐ We're just not used to this!!!
Wasn't Razor actually the first track played from IYH?
I wouldn't be surprised if another single is released before the album is released in February as there's plenty of time for that.

Fair point.

And the award goes to Radio X - took about 24hrs.
yep ๐
That was pretty grim though. More importantly what's the cats name.
Opp! Don't forget to tune into youtube for the premiere of the music video! It is quite nice they are using the premiere feature for this.
think we've got another 18 hours, perhaps?
If it helps, I'm in the middle of the usa here in Kansas, and it says 9am for the premiere tomorrow.
I’m not sure what time it is now for you, I believe the email suggests it to be 3pm GMT (I’m guessing 6 hours ahead of you?)
2am Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Oochie.
That’s my break time! Perfect ๐

Oh, I'm a bit scared that they'll pull off another Walking After You.
Looks very melodramatic and stuff, very unfoo-y.
Is it 3pm UK for the video?
Yes ๐
'' they'll pull off another Walking After You''๐คฃ
It does look unfoo-y! Waiting๐
i enjoyed the 'Walking After You' video at the time. Stylish Foo, can't beat it. โบ๏ธ
Been looking forward to watching some Cinematic Foo!
Didn't know about them at the time๐ now it kinda makes me giggle
Cinematic Foo, yes that's how i picture it๐
I still like it ๐
Walking After You is probably the funniest Foo video
t minus 20.
