Foo Fighters: In Your Honor (RCA/Sony BMG) 

One thing is for certain: no one can accuse the Foo Fighters of lacking ambition ever again when it comes to making records after checking out the sheer scale and scope of the band’s latest album. Featuring 20 songs spread out over two discs, In Your Honor arrives with one loud album and one not so loud album. Conceived as an adventurous punk rock exercise in extremes, the hefty double album – the Foos’ fifth so far – finds Dave Grohl and co pushing the musical envelope as far as they can in a bid to deliver a record that manages to alter the perception of the Foo Fighters as a one-dimensional rock band.
