Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "Best of all is the title track: containing strangled notes, choral sequences and one of Grohl’s most affected -- and affecting -- vocal performances to date. Rarely have the Foos sounded this big, or this bold.", "Kurstin’s stylistic fingerprints -- lush synths, reverb-steeped vocals, tightly-woven harmonies -- are smeared all over Concrete and Gold, rendering this the Foos’ most textured, nuanced release to date.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The glistening sonic flare that is ‘T-Shirt’ sets the tone for a blistering, high-gloss CONCRETE AND GOLD, a record that features some of the band’s most vital and impressive tracks in years.", "The guitarists go whole hog for arena-sized rock, shiny punk, buoyant Beatles jangle and rough-edged soul -- to say nothing of big, sweaty emotions -- without apology or worry about alternative genre-fication.", "CONCRETE AND GOLD feels more interested in the granular details of rock songwriting and craft of rock album-making than anything the Foos have made in years.", "Beginning with the deliberate-to-dizzying smattering of album opener 'T-Shirt,' Grohl lyrically questions almost everything around him. First single, the blistering 'Run,' is as raw as anything the Foos have written.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Musically and emotionally, CONCRETE AND GOLD is their most balanced record yet – from stadium-punk dive bombers like 'Run' and 'La Dee Da' to the acoustic soul that opens 'T-Shirt'...", "'Dirty Water’ climaxes with a heavy riffing groove that Josh Homme would be proud of and ‘Sunday Rain’ is serviceable enough while making good use of Taylor Hawkin’s throaty vocals."
