I like the Foos but i bet the two new songs will be dreary ballads. They;ll never make an album as good as the first two again.Self Titled , Colour & Shape were both awesome.

That's weird. Grohl once said a greatest hits would be pointless because anyone can make their own greatest hits these days.

often a greatest hits release is a way of getting out of a record deal - say if they signed a 5 album deal and after 4 if things were not going well they could just put this out and move on. on the other hand the record company may want to do this and not really the band
