Absolutely not a letdown
This CD was a pleasant surprise. Frequently, crossover CDs have only one decent song among them or are all hype and no substance. Switchfoot blends their faith seamlessly with their music and you do not feel preached to - you feel enlightened. I liked almost all the songs - I give it an B+/A-.


They continue to blow this young, black mind almost on the daily. 4.09 stars.
I was just looking for something different, and I thank the freakin' Stars above, for leading me to this CD, which was $7+ at the time. When I think of Switchfoot, certain things, flood my thoughts;

Strained vocals, thoughtful, heartfelt lyrics and some pop-rock for the masses! \m/

This album is a surprise, and THEN some:

Some ballads, some rockers, mostly melodic and very tuneful and super-planned out lyrics, which is one of the best parts!!

I bought this in 2003: But don't ask me why. Since it was my lunch break at work, I decided to grab my trusty, rusty-red CD player, and give this bad boy a spin. I was nearly speechless listening to such grit and rawness. Never had I heard a slightly sexy man, pour out so much Heart and Pain in my Life. A true turn on for the member below, but most importantly, the heart, soul and the ever-flowing mind.

Thumbs up, Switchfoot!!
