In Your Honor, released in the United Kingdom as
In Your Honour, is the fifth studio album by
American alternative rock band
Foo Fighters, released on June 14, 2005 by
RCA Records. It is a
double album, with one disc containing heavy rock songs and a second disc with mellower
acoustic songs. Frontman
Dave Grohl decided to do a diverse blend of songs as he felt that after ten years of existence, the band had to break new ground with their music. The album was recorded at a newly built studio in
Northridge, Los Angeles, and featured guests such as
John Paul Jones,
Norah Jones and
Josh Homme. The lyrics deal with both resonating and introspective themes, with a major influence from Grohl's involvement on the campaign trail with
John Kerry during the
2004 presidential election.
