Why are older Foo Fighters songs more memorable?

I've been listening through every Foo Fighters album recently and found that their earlier albums, especially their 1995 debut and One By One, are far more memorable than anything on Concrete and Gold or Sonic Highways. Songs such as Learn To Fly and Times Like These have a melodic and slightly jangly feel, while non-single songs such as Good Grief have a great beat and strong riff/bassline. What's up with their newer stuff, which is better produced but lacking in memorable hooks and too variant in beat?

    That's how it is with most bands and artists, that being said, 'Best of You' is my favorite song by them.

    Maybe they wanted to change their style a bit. Their earlier days saw the band energetic and loud, the songs definitely more edgier. Learn to Fly is my fave.

    Because its their better stuff. Now they have gone downhill, and its not pretty. Grohl needs to change or they need to consider breaking up. Its been awful and painful to watch their decline. They have become more commercialized.

    Because they are past their prime. Happens to most music acts, especially those with longevity.
