Which Foo Fighters album was released on October 22, 2002?
Answer
One by One
One Foo Fighters album released on October 22, 2002, was One by One.
One by One is the band’s fourth studio album, issued through Roswell and RCA Records. It followed 1999’s There Is Nothing Left to Lose and preceded 2005’s In Your Honor. The album includes “All My Life,” “Times Like These,” “Low,” and “Have It All.”
Its creation was unusually difficult. The band spent months recording in Los Angeles, but the sessions became tense and produced music the members felt lacked energy. Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, and Chris Shiflett then rebuilt most of the record during an intense, roughly two-week period at Grohl’s home studio in Virginia. The final album’s heavier sound was intended to capture the force of the group’s live performances.
A common mix-up is confusing One by One with the band’s later albums: Wasting Light arrived in 2011, Sonic Highways in 2014, and Medicine at Midnight in 2021. One by One also won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2004.
