Just when Rickrolling went away, comes a soft-rock non-entity that just never gives up but consistently lets you down. It’s frankly hilarious to think of Dave Grohl and his cohorts thrashing out chords and whining lines like ‘when you feel that its all over, there’s another round’, in the numb-headed belief that repetition is a virtue. It would be one thing if their hammy chorus followed genuinely ‘epic’ stadium verses, a guilty pleasure the likes of which Foo Fighters rarely deliver. But ‘Wheels’ doesn’t even make for good driving music. Rather it’s the perfect accompaniment to watching paint dry.
