The Colour and the Shape

The Colour and the Shape is the Foo Fighters second album. It was released May 20, 1997 through Roswell/Capitol Records.

This album was the debut of the Foo Fighters as a band, as Dave Grohl had recorded almost all of the first Foo Fighters album by himself, but since William Goldsmith left the band during the recording of the album, Grohl ended up playing drums for most of the tracks.
