Foo Fighters - Wasting Light Lyrics

- Release date: April 2011 -

Wasting Light is the seventh studio album by American alternative rock band Foo Fighters, released on April 12, 2011. Although guitarist Pat Smear has performed live with the band since 2006, Wasting Light is the first album to feature him as an official member since 1997's The Colour and the Shape. The album's title is taken from the lyrics of the song "Miss the Misery." Guest musicians include Bob Mould, Krist Novoselic, Rami Jaffee, Butch Vig, Jessy Greene.

Recording of the album began August 16, 2010 with producer Butch Vig, who had previously produced the two new tracks for the band's Greatest Hits album. The album was recorded in Dave Grohl's garage using only analog equipment. Vig said in an interview with MTV that the album was entirely analog until post-mastering.
