"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. 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. 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!!

"Frequently, crossover CDs have only one decent song among them or are all hype and no substance. This CD was a pleasant surprise. 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-."
