Average Rating: (3.8 out of 5 stars)
Somewhat dated but not dull
If all the Golden Earring you've heard is Moontan, Switch will really please your ears! Well crafted songs, played by experts, with a really outstanding singer fronting it all. Sure some of the synth stylings betray it's age, but overall this is a great album.
The remastering was well worth the effort: everything is clean & dynamic with a truly excellent drum sound.

Underdog Album
This music on this album is flashy, and even brilliant at times, with a certain idigenous Earring flair for syncopation. The problem is that it seems to fall on deaf ears. Every song on the album is unique. Even though "Switch" was really just a bunch of good songs that show them flexing their sound,it was sort of presented as a concept album, thinly veiled, and this album was just ignored. But I think it's a really good point in the bands history, and I know that some of the music on "Switch" gives premonitions of "To The Hilt" which is a fine moment for Golden Earring, so this one gets extra credit with me.

Not my thing
To be honest, I never listen to this one. It sucks for the most part, just like Contraband. I've always been more into their 80's-present stuff. If you have to have 70's Golden Earring, go for Moontan and Together, not Switch or (Ugh!), Contraband. I suggest you pick up Last Blast Of The Century, Bloody Buccaneers, Cut, NEWS, Prisoner Of The Night, Moontan, Together, Face It, The Hole, Something Heavy Going Down, The Naked Truth, Naked III, and Millbrook USA.
