There Is Nothing Left to Lose

There Is Nothing Left to Lose is the third studio album by American rock band Foo Fighters, released on November 2, 1999, through Roswell and RCA Records. It marked the first studio credit for drummer Taylor Hawkins, and is often seen as a departure from the band's more abrasive previous work. It showcases a heavy emphasis on melody with a softer, gentler sound. Lyrically, it is one of their more mature albums. The album's lead single, "Learn to Fly", was heavily promoted and became a smash hit, peaking at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and cementing itself as a staple of rock-oriented radio. The singles "Stacked Actors", "Breakout" and "Next Year" from the album also became hits for the band. Other songs from the album such as "Ain't It the Life", "Aurora", and "Headwires" achieved success on alternative radio formats.

Vocalist and guitarist Dave Grohl has stated that the album was "totally based on melody" and that it might be "[his] favorite album that [they've] ever done." The album was recorded in Grohl's basement studio at his home in Alexandria, Virginia using only three musicians; Grohl, Hawkins, and bassist Nate Mendel.

There Is Nothing Left to Lose won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2001, marking the band's first ever Grammy win. The band would go on to win the Grammy for Best Rock Album for three of their next four studio releases (One by One; Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace; and Wasting Light).

There Is Nothing Left to Lose is Foo Fighters' first album to be entirely released and marketed by RCA Records since their departure from Capitol Records after the release of The Colour and the Shape two years earlier. Their two previous studio albums, originally distributed by Capitol, were since then distributed by RCA.
