It quickly became clear I really wasn't really going to enjoy watching this documentary: this has been edited in the typical style tailored for short-attention-spans: the subject changes all the time, the person being interviewed changes all the time and music begins and stops all the time. Most of the interviews end up being just one sentence long soundbites often seemingly taken out of context. The doc spends little time trying to answer the question what actually made this studio so unique and separated it from the rest.
Then the last third takes a bit bizarre turn and the doc turns into a dragged out minidoc of a recording session, essentially becoming an egostroke of Dave Grohl and his old buddies (they literally had a product to sell - the album they made and later released as an official soundtrack). The film probably should have ended before this last segment.
