Bassist Nate Mendel replied that the songs' uncharacteristic sound was "why should go on the record." Grohl decided against an acoustic record, saying "I have to have loud rock music in my life somewhere", and decided to make a double album, with "one CD that's all the really heavy rock shit" and another "that's really beautiful, acoustic-based, lower dynamic stuff", which Grohl described as "the bottle and the hangover", and also with the rock record being "my Jack and Coke record" with songs that "I realise I cannot live without that", and the acoustic being "my Sapphire-and- Martini-with-Kylie record". Grohl, not wanting to make a solo album and accepting the drift from his usual style, brought the songs to the Foo Fighters – "who's to say what we should sound like?".

Grohl considered a possible film score, and began writing acoustic songs, eventually amassing a full album's worth of songs. He felt that rushing to do another record would not be creatively rewarding. In Your Honor also broke the band's consecutive streak of Grammy Award for Best Rock Album wins that began in 2001 with There Is Nothing Left to Lose.Īfter touring in support of One by One, Dave Grohl was uncertain on what to do next with the Foo Fighters. The album was also nominated for five Grammy Awards, and topped the charts in five countries-including Australia-and reached the top five in five more, including number two in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Reviews for In Your Honor were mostly positive, praising the composition and sound, although some critics found the album overlong and inconsistent. The promotional tour for the album included both rock shows in stadiums and acoustic gigs in smaller venues. It was the first album to feature keyboardist Rami Jaffee, although he would not join the band as full-time member until 2017. Its lyrics deal with both resonating and introspective themes, with a major influence from Grohl's involvement on the campaign trail with John Kerry during the 2004 presidential election. The album was recorded at a newly built studio in Northridge, Los Angeles, and features guests such as John Paul Jones ( Led Zeppelin), Norah Jones, and Josh Homme ( Queens of the Stone Age). Frontman Dave Grohl decided to do a diverse blend of songs, as he felt that after ten years of existence, the band had to break new ground with their music. It is a double album, with the first disc containing heavy rock songs and the second containing mellower acoustic songs. In Your Honor is the fifth studio album by American rock band Foo Fighters, released on June 14, 2005, through Roswell and RCA Records.
