Excellent Album - By: S. Harris, 05 Jan 2008 
This album is really good. Come on - as if you didn't already know that! With the Foo Fighters there is a certain level of quality that you expect- & they always deliver.
The BEST songs on the album are 'Breakout'(I Love the screaming!), 'Learn To Fly'(A pop song, but still good), 'Live-Skin'(A good song for various reasons). There are other songs that are good as well. Such as 'Gimme Stitches', 'M.I.A, ect. but the first three songs I mentioned are really good & you will remember them for years to come.
The album only has a few bad songs which suffer from being very boring('Generator').
The album also has some acousic(y) songs to offer such as 'Next Year' & 'Ain't It the Life'. So basically, if you like the Foo Fighters - buy this album!!
Solid offering - By: M. McManus, 06 Oct 2007 This album is a very solid offering, & alternative rock fans will definitely enjoy it. The lyrics of the opening track are almost whispered for everything but the chorus, which is an unusual departure, but the rest of the album is true joy. The tracks "Learn to Fly" & "Generator" being the best on the whole album, & "Next Year" is good for those who want to indulge their nostalgic, sensitive side, showing a breadth of talent many bandsin this genre simply do not possess. As ever, the backing band's performance is a magnificent compliment to Grohl's lyrics. The only weaknesses are the tracks "Stacked Actors" & "Ain't it the Life", both of which are rather disappointing. Allin all however, this is a must for any alternative rock fan.
Something Extraordinary - By: I. Graham, 11 Jun 2007 
I actually got this cd by accident. i headed up to the tills to pay for an offspring cdin "Sanity" years ago. i got home opened the box & this cd was there, i thought id give it a try anyways before i took it back to exchange it for the offspring cd & to be honest i wasnt all that impressed, i put that down to the fact that i was far to young to know truely kick ass music when i heard it.
In the end anyways i took this one back & got the offspring one & 'went back to reality' but it was when i got into the Foos first album (which i think is probably the best cd they'll ever make) that i thought i would investin this, as i had heard lots of good things about it. As soon as i put it on 'Stacked Actors' hit me hard making me think "where the hell have i been?" & to be honest the whole album is like that, simply put... it makes you happy no matter what mood you're in!
Listening through the album as a whole leads you to a song that i think is the second best song (only just behind Everlong!) the Foos have ever recorded - M.I.A.
The album is very summery sounding as its all sorta light & breezy & jammed full with some excellent songs. Make sure though that if you do listen to the album as a whole you dont miss out on M.I.A as it truely is kick ass & caps off the album perfectly!
It doesnt really sound like the rest of the Foos records when you compare them but dont let that put you off, if you appreciate all kinds of music you're sure to be open-minded enough to like this cd, just take it as it is - a brilliant cd, a cd that any other band can only dream of making!
Change of direction - By: tinuva200, 05 Dec 2006 
This third album by the Foo Fighters shows a definate changein directionin terms of their sound.
Its a pleasent enough album but for me too often lackingin excitement, I will be suprised if more than 3 tracks from this album make it to the greatest hits.
A decent album thats just lacking alittle something.
Pleasently Surprising - By: Stegofreak, 28 Nov 2006 Credit where credit's due, I wasn't expecting this album to wow mein any great way having not been a particularly large Foo Fighters fan before purchasing it, but it turned out to be a great buy.
From the outset `Stacked Actors' had me wondering why I'd never bothered with the Foos before. Quickly followed by the excellent tracks `Breakout' & `Learn to Fly' I was all but converted & that's before the amazing ballads `Aurora' & `Next Year'. With songs like these, the album needs only a few filler tracks to earn a passable grade but it goes one better with `Gimme Stitches', `Generator', `Live-in Skin', `Headwires', `Ain't it the Life' & `M.I.A' being exceptional tracksin their own right.
Whether you enjoy a softer sounding rock melody or a more hard-hitting on, `There is Nothing Left to Lose' has what you're looking for. Starting with a true classicin `Stacked Actors' & working its way through the noteworthy `M.I.A', `There is Nothing Left to Lose' proves to be a quality album packed with some real gems.
