The Colour And The Shape is the second studio album by Foo Fighters. Produced by Gil Norton, it was released through Capitol Records and the group's own Roswell Records on May 20, 1997. The album grows deeper the more it's played, with the band's ripping power more than matched by Dave Grohl's fascinating examinations of pain and divorce. There is even a convincing long slow ballad, "November Stars", whose intensity should win over doubters. If that doesn't work, then the screaming "My Hero" will.

ReviewsRanked #46 in Nme's 1997 Critics' Poll., 6 (out of 10) - "...That's Dave Grohl, a simple rock guy in a simple rock band who occasionally manages to write some really good songs. He'll probably never come up with a godhead masterpiece, but then again, he already played drums on one.", "The first of THE COLOUR AND THE SHAPE is a furious dialogue/duel between old-guard stadium rock and DIY guitar bashing. Plus, former Sunny Day Real Estate bassist Nate Mendel adds artful dimension, throwing in hooks...", Ranked #21 on Melody Maker's List of 1997's "Albums of the Year.", "...The band heard on THE COLOUR & THE SHAPE is not a ragtag slacker unit but a bunch of confident, powerful pros--brawny, metallic, able to shift gears and tempos on a dime....In fact, the album often feels like the new-wave metal Metallica should have but didn't concoct with LOAD..." - Rating: B, 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...COLOUR has a big, radio-ready, modern-rock sound....gives the impression that Grohl is working out some romantic issues--there are lots of relationship tunes both about breaking up and about a new love...", Included in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums Ever"
