Critical Reception
- "The record sounds lush and epic, with a variety of genres and sounds all peeking their heads through the band's established heavy-melodic-rock sound. There are mellow, intimate tunes and amps-to-11 anthems alike, and plenty that split the difference."—Paste MagazinePaste Magazine: Review Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (September 11, 2007)
- "There's no getting away from the fact that the goofy guy who used to play drums for Nirvana just made a classic album."—Dot MusicDot Music : Review Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (September 27, 2007)
- "On their sixth album, Foo Fighters have renewed their membership in the "if it ain't broke . . ." school of songwriting. And essentially, there's nothing wrong with that."—BillboardBillboard: Review Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (2007)
