The Colour and the Shape is the second studio album by Foo Fighters, an American rock band. It was released on May 20, 1997 by Roswell and Capitol Records. The Colour and the Shape is the first album by the Foo Fighters with a full band. This is because their first album, Foo Fighters, was only made by Dave Grohl. After the album became very popular,[1] Grohl let Pat Smear, Nate Mendel, and William Goldsmith join the Foo Fighters.
The album's singles are "Monkey Wrench", "Everlong", and "My Hero". They all went into the top ten on US rock radio charts.[2][3] The album went to number ten on the Billboard 200, and number three in the United Kingdom. It was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1998.[4] The album has sold more than two million copies in the United States. It is the band's best selling album. It was remastered in 2007.[5] The Colour and the Shape was the band's last album that was released by Capitol Records.
