From Wikipedia:

Wasting Light and hiatus (2010–2012)

In August 2010, the band began recording their seventh studio album with producer Butch Vig, who had previously produced the two new tracks for the band's Greatest Hits album.[30] The album was recorded in Dave Grohl's garage using only analog equipment. The album won five Grammys and was nominated for six. Vig said in an interview with MTV that the album was entirely analog until post-mastering.[31] Pat Smear was present in many photos posted by Grohl on Twitter and a press release in December confirmed Smear played on every track on the album and was considered a core member of the band once again, having initially left as a full-time member in 1997 before returning as a touring guitarist in 2006.[32]

The first single from Wasting Light, "Rope", was released to radio in February 2011.[33] On April 16, 2011, Foo Fighters released an album of covers, Medium Rare, as a limited-edition vinyl for Record Store Day.[34] The promotion for the album has been highly praised for its originality.[35] Wasting Light debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, being the first Foo Fighters album to do so.[36]

Does anyone here own this LP and can they comment on the music and sound?

I own this and every other Foo Fighters album. (Hey, I from Seattle!). 45 rpm on two discs. Great tunes and one of my favorite FF albums. I'd give the sonics a solid B to B+ score. It's not Black Sabbath's on a large swirl Vertigo or an original Koch pressing of Opeth, but pretty good for a metal LP.

Grohl, Smear and Novoselic jammed several tunes with Paul McCartney at Safeco last month. Grohl is OK on guitar but he's a badass drummer.
