Pros: A couple of genuinely catchy tunes and a lot of self-restraint.
Cons: Nothing exciting, nothing all that memorable.
I could easily see how Switchfoot could get a lot of flack from the buying public at large. In every way, shape, and form they are the blander alternative to alternative music. And to make things worse, they are a Contemporary Christian group. In a ...

Pros: upbeat, tasteful, excellent lyrics.
Cons: Some songs can be cheesy in parts.
Last year as a gift my friend Shelly took me to a Switchfoot concert. This was my first real concert. The pre-show band used only the electric guitar and I wasn't impressed. Then Switchfoot came. Switchfoot uses both the electric and the acoustic ...

Pros: Great Sound, Meaningful Lyrics
Cons: Somewhat Disjointed Theme, Only 11 Tracks
Beautiful Letdown was released in 2003 as the biggest misnomer of the millenium. The much anticipated album was exactly what Switchfoot fans were wanting. It really took the positive elements of L

Pros: Lyrically deep, catchy, introspective. Four outstanding tracks.
Cons: Some vocal issues, some boring moments, and some just plain stupid ones.
Welcome, readers, to my latest review miniseries: the Classic Christian Albums. This is where I finally go over some of (not all, so don’t be mad if I skip an artist or seven) Christian rock’s most famous, popular, and/or critically acclaimed ...

Pros: Lyrics, Bigger sound and production than the past, theme, lyrics...
Cons: Redemption...
No one, not even Switchfoot, was ready for the massive success that came with The Beautiful Letdown. With The Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot broke away from their former quirky side and made a hard hitting, mature rock album that captured the ...

Pros: Almost every single song
Cons: None really..
Intro My grandparents usually give me one of those Christian Music Samplers every year, which is great - it keeps me updated on the CCM front. On one of them there was this incredibly catchy song called New Way to Be Human. That song was, ...

Pros: If I find one, I'll let you know.
Cons: Appallingly awful in every respect. Far and away, the worst album of the last decade.
There are two methods of torture that I would do absolutely anything to avoid. The first is a truly terrifying method, used frequently by the Japanese in World War II. It’s a type of psychological torture where victims are subjected to a kind of ...

Pros: Fun and catchy, but it still keeps its maturity.
Cons: Why is "Dare You To Move" on here?!
I stand in front of a crowd of thousands upon thousands of people, who are all staring at me, waiting for me to make my first move. I clear my throat, which incites feedback from the microphone. The people in the crowd cover their ears, and the ...

Pros: Very interesting, nice voice, good ballads.
Cons: "I Dare You To Move" didn't need a cover...
Switchfoot has been quite popular in the past in the Christian Music Industry. Their past three albums were all distributed and promoted on Christian record labels. However, the rights to this release are owned by Columbia Records. This could have ...

Pros: Each song has a moral.
Cons: One song is just too vague.
I got this album because I was a fan of the hit songs Meant To Live and Dare You To Move. I was in for a very pleasant surprise when I put this in my CD player. Each song here has a message, teaching morals as simple as the fact that God's ...

Pros: Everything except for a few songs.
Cons: A few songs
Oh my goodness. I really like this album, I really do. It's just that whenever I think about it, or even look at the cover, only one thought pops into my mind: THEY PUT "DARE YOU TO MOVE" ON TWO ALBUMS!!!!!!!!!(plus a movie soundtrack, which makes ...

Pros: Strong lyrics, catchy songs, and a great message.
Cons: A bit repetitive after a couple of listens.
Formed in San Diego and quickly signed to the now defunct Re:Think label, Switchfoot has gained a fairly large following over their eight plus years as a band. It was only about two years ago that I started listening to Switchfoot's music. Sure, I had ...

Pros: Nothing major that is wrong. Very strong album as a whole.
Cons: "I Dare You To Move" didn't need another remix. Some songs are out of place.

by blindsider  in Music, - Top 1000, Oct 26 '04
Pros: "Meant to Live", "This Is Your Life", "Dare You to Move"
Cons: When they try to go upbeat and clappy ("Redemption", "Ammunition"), it's a huge mess.
Upon my first glimpse of Switchfoot in early 2004, my first reaction to "Meant to Live" was "Whoa - this song is amazing!" I highly anticipated hearing and seeing more of them. And who wouldn't? This summer, I bought The Beautiful Letdown, ...

by PacManY2J in Music, - Top 500, Oct 04 '04
Pros: Solid songs with uplifting messages
Cons: May be too polished for some; not enough really strong tracks
If Switchfoot thought they were in for another letdown, they were greatly mistaken. This California band had released three albums since the late-'90s, but it wasn't until this year that the success started pouring down like the Pacific waves these ...
