Sound City

"Why can't it always be this easy?"

Filmology Rating: 3 out of 4

I’ve wanted to see this movie since it was released, and am sad I waited this long, but it was definitely worth the wait!  Sound City covers the history of the Sound City recording studio, a popular recording studio that stayed true to their analog roots even during the digital revolution.  The movie is directed by and stars Dave Grohl, the former drummer for Nirvana, and current lead guitarist and singer for The Foo Fighters.  Grohl also brought in other music professionals, including Paul McCartney, Barry Manilow, Tom Petty, Trent Reznor, and Rick Springfield, who had ties to Sound City.  Grohl is absolutely dedicated to this project, and it shows in how well the movie is put together and the wide scope of the studio it covers.  This is definitely a must-see for anyone who considers themselves a music lover or an aspiring musician.
