...evokes earlier hits like “Learn to Fly” and “Monkey Wrench.” It starts slowly but soon picks up, going on to boldly propose: “Let’s say we take this town / No king or queen of any state / Get up to shut it down / Open the streets and raise the gates.” The song marks a return to what the Foo Fighters are best at: producing songs with smooth chord progressions and catchy choruses...
...Spain, they're cutting down vast forests in order to build the Armada, with which they intend to impose that country's grim Catholic will on Protestant England. In a glum castle, Mary Queen of Scots schemes to replace her cousin Elizabeth on the English throne - if, of course, she can avoid the death sentence everyone is urging the Virgin Queen to impose on her.

Despite the seven Oscars for which “Elizabeth” was nominated, “The Golden Age” breaks with the common convention of sequels falling short of their predecessors. Rather...
