4 Stars Out of 5 -- "'in the Clear' Is a Massive Anthem with a Thick, Punchy Brass Section...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "These songs are some of the band's most ambitious moments yet. The closer, 'I Am a River,' grows from sprawling to self-righteous over seven minutes, with Grohl getting emotional on top of an orchestra.", "The chunky rock elements that have become signature Foo Fighters remain consistent throughout Sonic Highways and are exemplified in lead single and opening track 'Something from Nothing'...", "Teir most pleasurable album since THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE, with which it shares a goofy penchant for classic-rock quotation and pastiche.", "SONIC HIGHWAYS opens with the comparatively explosive ‘Something From Nothing’ a classic Grohl-into-a-froth affair, clear of visual metaphor, that treads its way into life with a steady pace before stamping its feet down and screaming at the sky."
