Editorial Review:
The DVD side of disc one contains a ‘making of the album’ documentary video and an enhanced stereo version of disc one. The DVD side of disc two features a hi-res DVD audio surround sound version of disc two.
Description of In Your Honor:
It’s likely that a decade after its debut record this band now has fans who might ask, "You mean Dave Grohl was in a band before the Foo Fighters?" But they, or any Foo followers who pine for the increasingly refined vocals and polished pop-punk uniformity of the first four albums, will swallow this one whole--or at least half. For as much as vocalist/bandleader Grohl and Co. mix a similar concoction on the 20-song double CD, they manage to agitate the formula ever so slightly. Disc one follows the Foo’s classic sonic blueprint: lip-smacking melodies and enigmatic lyrics, double-barrel guitars and drums that attack. But songs take a gentle turn on the second CD, showcasing Grohl’s underrated vocals amidst a high-energy ensemble of acoustic guitars, piano and mandolin (by studio guest John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin). Singing, not shouting, Grohl flips potential teen-rock anthems like "Miracle" and "Cold Day in the Sun" (with drummer Taylor Hawkins handling lead vocals) into impending adult-oriented radio staples and, 11 years after Nirvana, the Foo Fighters may finally have their triumph. --Scott Holter
In Your Honor Reviews:
great 
2009-11-21 - I am a huge fan and this album is a must. Several great songs with a few okay at best songs. Well worth the price for a whole album verus the price for just the hits.
I really like the songs but...
2009-08-01 - I really like the songs in this album but it is so protected like a fortress that I can only listen to it using my car stereo and older cd players. I can't even put it in my iPod or Zune. I wish I can listen to it while working out in the gym but no can do. :( Lately, I am trying to find a digital download (mp3) of the album but gave up on it. I've decided to just use and overuse the cd until it dies.
Even more Foo......... 
2009-04-06 - Yummy!Dave is so hot.Wish Kurt was around to see him now.
If so,would the be a Foo Fighters?Hmmmmmmm.....
LOVE IT!
2009-03-20 - Dave Grohl is such an awesome musician. The whole band totally rocks this record. It's a favorite for sure.
and im on the mend my friend.
2008-07-06 - brilliant!! unsurpassable by Foo's standards. this CD didnt quickly become a favorite of mine until i found myself constantly grabbing it if i was going somewhere for a long drive or if it was nice out. i dunno why i just really liked it.
disk 2 stayed in its case for more than a year before i listened to it after the first time i got it. i remember thinking, ok this is good, better than i remembered and then after a few spins within a few days it hit me that it was actually AWESOME, the songs are so so good. On The Mend being a favorite of mine and undoubtly one of my all time fav Foo songs.
