Love the song, hate that it's the lead single. Their lead singles are usually straight-up rockers, but this one is build up then explosion. The build is what makes the song.

#5 on iTunes right now! It's because of the pre-order inflation, but still. #1 please? I'm starting to really like this with each listen.

This song is awesome, though I question its choice as the lead radio single. Haven't heard anything else so it's hard to judge but I think it's not the radio friendliest song in the world since it takes so long to get to the best part. Killer track though, I'm sure it will grow on me more in the future.

Oh no, I'm definitely not worried about Foos doing bad on the charts, they could've released Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners as a lead single and it would've gone #1. I just think this fits more with "Let It Die" than any lead single they've released.

I love the song as I expected to. It seems to flow differently than much of their other material. Dave can seriously do anything.

Top 40 on Alternative: 0 32 FOO FIGHTERS Something From Nothing 322 0 322 2.131
Top 50 on Active: 0 43 FOO FIGHTERS Something From Nothing 175 0 175 0.948
On first impression, I like it. Not as much as I did "Rope" or "The Pretender" or "Best of You", mind you, but still a solid effort from the band.

Definitely glad to hear some new rock on the radio again. My local alt station only really plays the top 5 heavily and you have to get lucky to hear the rest. (No active station here anymore.) So I've got to root for this hitting a good peak.
After just one and a half listens, I enjoyed this, but it wasn't as immediate as, say, Walk.

Love the song, hate that it's the lead single. Their lead singles are usually straight-up rockers, but this one is build up then explosion. The Pretender, which is by far the best song they ever recorded (let alone best lead single), features a quiet intro as well. Granted, it gets to the rock portion very early and then holds there, but there is indeed a build to it. -- In any event, love Something from Nothing. I don't think it would have KILLED them to have a more legitimate guitar solo (so annoyed that this element is no longer a priority in rock songs), but it's a great song nonetheless.

Great track! Look forward to full cd. And the greatest FF single of all time remains "Everlong"...and it's not even close.

Imo the best Foo track is The Pretender, followed closely by Everlong, All My Life, Learn To Fly, and Rope. So many good tracks though, it's really hard to pick favorites.

My faves:
1. "The Pretender"
2. "Everlong" 3. "Monkey Wrench" 4. "Best of You" 5. "Walk"
The first four were easy to pick, but there's probably a whole bunch of them that could be in the #5 spot.

I feel bad for not putting Everlong there, but if we extended it to a top 10...

Top 5 singles:
1. Everlong 2. All My Life 3. Monkey Wrench 4. The Pretender 5. Times Like These
It's funny that One by One had some of their best singles, but was one of my least favorite albums of theirs. Anyways, I love pretty much everything Dave does and this new song is no exception.

1.) Everlong 2.) No Way Out 3.) I'll Stick Around 4.) My Hero 5.) All My Life
First 3 are pretty locked in...it gets more difficult after that.
