Details Lead Performance: Foo Fighters; Genre: Rock

Ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl's combo deals in streamlined alt-power-pop, and their third album is their most accomplished yet. Medium-heavy tunes like ''Learn to Fly'' and ''Breakout'' are sleekly crafted and lyrically resonant, while the sly ''Stacked Actors'' and the Badfinger-esque ''Ain't It the Life'' reveal a sensitive streak that meshes nicely with Grohl's more aggressive inclinations. B+
