One by One is the fourth studio album by the Foo Fighters . It was released on October 22nd, 2002 and in the same year received a Grammy Award for best hard rock performance (for "All My Life"). In 2003 the band received another Grammy Award for best rock album.

meaning

Although the album was the first number one in Great Britain for the Foo Fighters, according to Dave Grohl it is his worst album: “Four of the songs were good, and the other seven I never played again in my life. We rushed into it, and we rushed out of it. ”He is probably referring to the first four songs on the album, which are all the single releases from the album.

One by One is the Foo Fighters' first studio album with Chris Shiflett as the official lead guitarist.

Times Like These is part of the soundtrack of the film American Pie .
