Foo Fighters is the self-titled debut album from the Alternative Rock band of the same name. It was released through Roswell Records, and distributed by Capitol Records, on July 4, 1995.Dave Grohl, the band's sole member at the time, recorded every song on the album by himself, except for the guitar solo on the song "X-Static," which was done by Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs.Originally intended as a one-off side project, the album garnered a ton of support from popular artists such as Tom Petty and Eddie Vedder, leading Grohl to hire a full band out of former Nirvana tour guitarist Pat Smear and the bassist and drummer from the recently disbanded Sunny Day Real Estate. The album had three successful singles, "Big Me", "This Is A Call", and "I'll Stick Around", along with "For All the Cows" in Europe, and the radio-only "Alone + Easy Target".A lot of the songs feature nonsensical lyrics, disparate song style shifts, and even minimalist 8-track recording. Grohl has stated that this was intentional, since he mostly recorded these songs to help himself get through the depression he felt after Kurt Cobain's suicide. While the songs do resemble Nirvana's style, Grohl did things that set himself apart from Cobain's songwriting such as double- or quadruple-tracking his vocals, adding happier tunes such as "Big Me" or "Floaty", and introducing Punk Rock influences, as heard in the songs "X-Static" and "Wattershed".The album was a commercial hit, going Platinum in the United States and United Kingdom. It peaked at #3 on the Official Charts Company album chart. While the singles didn't qualify for the Billboard Hot 100 due to Billboard's rules at the time regarding non-commercial singles, "Big Me" hit #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. All three US singles hit the Top 10 of the Alternative chart, and all four UK singles were Top 40 hits on the UK Pop chart, with "This Is a Call" peaking at #5.Foo Fighters became extremely popular thanks to its humble beginnings, and it allowed the band to continue to carry on Cobain's legacy through his influence. It was even nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, and it lost to MTV Unplugged in New York, Nirvana's acoustic album released the previous year, which Grohl and Krist Novoselic accepted on Cobain's behalf. | |

| Foo Fighters (Album) (Music) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Happens in most tracks, even if "Alone + Easy Target" is "I'm alone and I'm an easy target", "Floaty" doesn't use the exact word (only "floats" and "float"), and "X-Static" is "All the static". | |

| Foo Fighters (Album) (Music) / int_2719ab04 | comment |
Special Guest: The aforementioned solo on "X-Static" was done by Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs, a friend of Grohl's who was visiting the studio. "How I Miss You", even if not as straight an example (it was an old recording, not done in the Foo Fighters sessions), has Dave's sister Lisa playing bass. | |

Break the Haughty: "Big Me" is about how Grohl's new wife would keep him humble when his ego would get the best of him. (the less we think about how they broke up during the following album, the better) | |

Grunge: This has a lot more grunge elements than subsequent Foo Fighters albums. The songs "I'll Stick Around," "Weenie Beenie," "Wattershed," and "Exhausted" are prime examples, as they wouldn't sound out of place on a Nirvana album, minus Dave's vocals. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Foo Fighters (Album) (Music) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The album's entire tracklist can be seen as making prominent use of this, since it was constructed without a specific trajectory in mind. The first three songs are most frequently cited under the trope, from the moderate "This Is a Call", the intense "I'll Stick Around", to the Surprisingly Gentle Song "Big Me" (which in turn is followed by "Alone + Easy Target", another intense song). "Floaty," the softest song on the album besides "Big Me," is followed by "Weenie Beenie," which can be considered the album's heaviest song. | |

Grief Song: While the album as a whole counts, given Dave wanted to record the songs to escape his post-Nirvana depression, the songs themselves aren't straight examples given only four, none too sad to fit the trope, were written after the disbandment: "This Is a Call", "I'll Stick Around", "X-Static" and "Wattershed". | |

| Foo Fighters (Album) (Music) / int_e91cc721 | comment |
In the Style of: Most of the songs are based on Kurt Cobain's minimal, unpolished style. This caused some critics to assert that Dave Grohl was band-wagoning off of Nirvana's fame, despite the fact that this wasn't the case at all. "Wattershed" is an homage to Mike Watt of Minutemen, with a Punk Rock style similar to that of Minutemen. | |

Surreal Music Video: "I'll Stick Around", intentionally. The band wanted a Devo feel, and hired Jerry Casale to direct because who better to imitate his band? Grohl even went so far as to suggest that the video feature a bloated female heroin addict in order to represent Courtney Love, but management stepped in and sampled some stock scientific images (of an HIV virus, no less). | |
