Grade: A-
At a little more than four minutes long, Foo Fighters’ new single, “Rope,” delivers listeners to pure bliss. With an alternative sound, the Fighters have come back after a two-year absence that can be a quality product in multiple genres. The song is more commercial than the band’s earlier material. Lyrically, it’s nothing new and is about sex, telling the listener to give some rope to pull another into bed with him. Melodically, the Fighters have outdone their previous singles. Listening to this song builds anticipation for the band’s new album “Wasting Light,” which will be released April 12.
