Switchfoot Oh! Gravity CD

 Oh! Creativity.
This is a solid record. A few of the songs are the reliable, good ol' Switchfoot that we've grown to love. However, they also experiment with some fun, exciting, new elements for your listening pleasure and appreciation. It's a good album for people who like to be able to hear a song multiple times and still pick out new little bits every time. But it also works for those who like to be pulled in on the first listen. As usual, we're not let down in the department of meaningful lyrics from Jon Foreman. All the different tracks also present a good variety musically. Overall, there is less polish, but no loss of quality. (Actually, the lack of overly-produced songs is quite refreshing). Bravo, Switchfoot. You've done it again.

 Good
This album is good. I love Faust, Midas and myself and American Dream!!! Although it is a good album i still feel that their best would have been The Beautiful Letdown! Just can't beat Meant to Live! But go and try this cd out and see their creativity. Certainly interesting =)

 Excellent Release (Five Stars)
An excellent release by a band I consider to be one of the best bands of the 2000s. They are very creative and their songs have great lyrics. Switchfoot is a very talented group and this album is one of their best by far. I just bought this in the store a month ago and I've already listened to it several times.

 I love Switchfoot
They do take a gutsy approach to Christian rock, with post-grunge nods to punk and 1990s alt-rock, and introspective lyrics that neither oversimplify the mechanics of faith nor preach to the converted. Their 2003 major label debut, THE BEAUTIFUL LETDOWN, exposed them to a big secular audience, as emo fans embraced their vivid songcraft, ignored or accepted their gospel background, and supported their many live shows and subsequent recordings. This proves to be no exception! This is as "stripped" that I've both seen and heard. Names that are behind this production, Tim Palmer & Steve Lillywhite, were big names in the eighties. They give a big boost to the industry with this release since Beautiful Letdown came out back in their 2003-04 campaign. Strong!
