Switchfoot 1-10

[Blackbird VIII]

Well i use to listen to their cd THE BEAUTIFUL LETDOWN until i traded it in.But then about 3 weeks ago i found their 3 cd set with their first three cds and then i bought their new one oh gravity so as you can see im back into them.So what i wanted to know is what does everyone here think of them.I personally give them a 9/10.

Back in the day, I heard Switchfoot's very first album, and thought it was crap. The years went by, I'd hear something by them and think it was actually okay. Finally the album "Nothing Is Sound," I think it was called-the one after The Beautiful Letdown-came out, and with it came the single "Stars"-I think it was actually a b-side off the last album-which my brother and sister-in-law used for my nephew's baptism. It really struck me; I liked it a lot. The following new year, I got that first three album set, and found I liked their first album more than I'd originally given it credit for.

While a lot of their stuff is slow and mellow (and I generally don't like that) I've come to appreciate it a lot more than I would have before. As far as a rating for the band goes, I don't know. I guess I'd give them somewhere between a 7 and an 8.5 out of 10. Anyhoo...

Y that three cd set is the one i got a few weeks ago and i was impressed mainly with the album learning to breathe.
