The Colour and the Shape is the second studio album recorded by Alternative Rock band Foo Fighters. It was released through Roswell Records and Capitol Records on May 20, 1997.Foo Fighters was the one-man project of Dave Grohl during the creation of the self-titled debut album, so he recorded all instruments on the album himselfnote barring a guitar solo contributed by Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs in addition to singing. In the wake of that record's runaway popularity, Grohl decided to turn the personal project he created to deal with his grief over the death of former bandmate Kurt Cobain into an actual band.You know, with other people playing the other instruments.Fortunately, Grohl didn't need to look far for bandmates. He retained the services of the musicians who assisted when he performed songs from his first album live: guitarist Pat Smear, who had been a backup guitarist since the days of Nirvana; and Nate Mandel and William Goldsmith, the bassist and drummer for Sunny Day Real Estatenote Goldsmith later left, however, since Grohl rerecorded most of his drum tracks.The lyrics of this album deal with breakups and divorces, homesickness, and mental health; the tracklisting was designed to resemble a "therapy session," in Grohl's words. What resulted is an album considered by many as the Foos' best. It certainly backed that up commercially, going Platinum in both the United States and the United Kingdom.note Technically, it has enough sales to be double-Platinum in both markets, but only has single certifications officially.The album was supported by four singles: "Monkey Wrench," "Everlong," "My Hero," and "Walking After You". While they got screwed by the Billboard Hot 100's rules once more,note Perfect example: "Everlong" went double-Platinum in the US, and Platinum in the UK. the first three were Top Ten on the Billboard Alternative and Mainstream Rock charts, and all four were hits on the UK Pop chart."Walking After You" was quickly re-recorded for the soundtrack to the 1998 film The X-Files: Fight the Future. By the time they re-recorded it, they had several more new additions to the band—including drummer Taylor Hawkins and guitarist Franz Stahl. | |

Emo Music | |
| The Colour and the Shape (Music) / int_1f59f683 | comment |
Emo Music: The whole album is frequently the 90s variety, carrying over some of the melodic style of new recruits Nate Mendel and William Goldsmith 's previous group Sunny Day Real Estate. The album, particularly "Everlong," was influential on the 2000s emo scene, although the group has become both simultaneously heavier and more acoustic-oriented over time, thus only bears traces of the style. | |

Title Track | |
| The Colour and the Shape (Music) / int_23b0d78 | comment |
Title Track: While they did have a song called "The Colour and the Shape", it was cut from the album because Dave felt its "Weenie Beenie 2.0" vibe didn't fit with the record (it was released as a bonus track on the 10th-anniversary edition). | |

Boléro Effect | |
| The Colour and the Shape (Music) / int_3096c919 | comment |
Boléro Effect: The latter half of "New Way Home" is essentially building upon the same riff and getting louder and quicker before exploding into the coda. | |

Uncommon Time | |
| The Colour and the Shape (Music) / int_38da8916 | comment |
Uncommon Time: "Enough Space" is in 6/4. Dave states in the "Back and Forth" documentary that he wrote the main riff backstage on tour, around a beat he pictured the audience in London bouncing to, and the band had a mostly complete song by the time they came out onto the stage. | |

Metal Scream | |

Metal Scream: The entire bridge of "Monkey Wrench" is yelled out in seemingly a single breath. The title track, which appears on some pressings of the album, consists entirely of screamed vocals. | |

Careful with That Axe | |
| The Colour and the Shape (Music) / int_9da3227a | comment |
Careful with That Axe: "Enough Space"'s chorus consists of Grohl screaming "SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE, SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE" at the top of his lungs. "The Colour and the Shape" takes this up to eleven. God wonders how Dave Grohl's lungs survived this song. | |

Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Walking After You", which comes directly after the rocking "Everlong". The intro to "Up in Arms" also brings down the energy after the hard-hitting "Wind Up." | |

Surreal Music Video | |
| The Colour and the Shape (Music) / int_ecf2949f | comment |
Surreal Music Video: "Everlong". Takes place partially in dreams, but not All Just a Dream as such. It involves giant phones, band members discarding false skins to reveal their true identities, and Dave Grohl (in-character) gaining a massive right hand with which to administer bitch slaps of death. It's directed by Michel Gondry, one of the kings of surrealist videos. "Monkey Wrench" is also pretty weird, with the multiple versions of the band. | |

Fading into the Next Song: The whole album subtly fades into each other, but "Hey, Johnny Park!" —> "My Poor Brain" is the most obvious. This was done to make the album seem like a therapy session. | |
