Amazing Record Start to Finish!

This album is a must have. It took me several listens start to finish to realize how well it flowed together and how every song fits together like pieces to a beautiful picture. It takes you on a musical and emotional roller coaster, in a good way. Enjoy the creative vibe and pushing musical limits of what people might expect around the next turn. Keep us guessing Switchfoot.
Perhaps the best pop album I've seen

Switchfoot delivers. After albums like "The Beautiful Letdown" and "Hello Hurricane", they had a lot to live up to. But they deliver. With great pop songs like "Let it out" and the always refreshing "Love Alone Is Worth The Fight", they also deliver their usual great rock song, with "Say it like you mean it" being up there with songs like "Dark Horses", "The Original", and "Meant to live".
It's a great album to listen to on a long car trip, along with Edge of the Earth.
Different yet good

Switchfoot has always been one of my favorite bands. I don't know if it is the nostalgia talking or what, but I think they are my favorite band next to The Beatles. One of the things I like about them is how every album they put out is different. You have Fading West and then their first album, Legend of Chin. They've been around for twenty years, they don't want to keep doing the same thing.
I'll admit that this is probably my least favorite Switchfoot album. This album is more pop than the usual Switchfoot.
I guess to conclude this review I'd say it's good, but not near as good as Nothing Is Sound.
Sounds like a trend record

This record doesn't really stand out as much as previous ones. The sound is aggravating because it sounds like every other run of the mill "hipster indie record." Sadly, many bands that held a high status back in the day have gone to this level. I will say however that this record is not entirely terrible. There are a few high points. Overall, it's okay. It's no "nothing is sound, letdown or hurricane," but it's not bad.
Love these guys!

Really? I love you Switchfoot, I have since the early days behind Charlie peacock...and you have always blown me away with every album in a musical AND a cerebral expression. But honestly, this album sounds like you sold out or something. Musically speaking, I would argue it's the weakest Switchfoot installment ever. hopefully the next album will redeem.
Right up there with ‘The Beautiful Letdown'

This is my favorite album yet, boys! You still got it! In fact, somehow, you keep getting better! You topped it with this! Amazing! Thank you.

I love Switchfoot. They're one of my favorites and always have been. But this album is extremely disappointing. After the raw sound and emotion of Vice Verses, this feels like a major step back—almost like they've completely forgotten the sound that made them so successful in the past. This album sounds like any other MercyMe or Jeremy Camp album (nothing against them, though). Switchfoot has a very distinct sound that seems lost on this album. Hopefully they'll do better with the next one. :/
Their best one yet! 👍

I bought this album when it first released and it absolutely blew me away! These guys are one of my favorite bands and it seemed as if every song on this record was a soundtrack of my life. Every melody and lyric hit me in a very personal way! I love these guys! I credit Jon Foreman and the guys to helping me get to a place where I could dream again! It's not the sound I was accustomed to, but it was the sound I needed! This album is amazing! One of my favorites!
Amazing

So I actually just saw Switchfoot at BTF, (big ticket festival), and before that, I had never listened to their music. This band was PHENOMENAL. Absolutely amazing. They performed so good live I just had to buy some songs right after. I can't compare what they're like now as compared to the old, but music is music, and they not only how to write it but also perform it.
Simply Amazing

By far my favorite album of Switchfoot. Every song speaks to my soul and I'm moved to tears on more than a few of the songs. The doc was like icing on the cake. Can't wait to hear what they do next!
It's good, but only because it's Switchfoot.

Switchfoot is my ohana. But my scene is the Oh! Gravity., Nothing Is Sound, Vice Verses scene. If you're an original Switchfoot fan from the ReThink Records era, that original trilogy sounds practically prehistoric in comparison to this record. If you're looking for that solid and raw Switchfoot rock 'n roll, you won't find it in here...which is disappointing. But it nevertheless is still Switchfoot, and thus executes to be a fairly decent album. Not my favorite of their endeavors however.
Wow.

great cd and documentary

love the cd and love the documentary, they have such a good way that they can speak everyday struggles of Christians in society without alienating non believers, the way they write their music enables them to reach so many more hearts than artists under the Christian label
Worth the fight?

This was a weird adjustment or change from the edgy rock album, Vice Verses. Switchfoot has been around for over a decade, bringing in a lot of change. From their raw garage band vibe of the early Legend of the Chin to the fine tuned hits of the Beautiful Letdown (which didn't let down) to the Chaotic and fun Oh! Gravity and finally to the dark pure rock of Vice Verses. So it isn't a new concept thats been around as long as they have. But to make this change from their usual rock presence to this new alternative rock with a mix of pop, Switchfoot gave us a gift, Fading West (the movie). A film about 5 guys traveling around the world chasing waves and chasing songs. The story put you right in the middle of the songs creation and tied you to them in ways few artist can ever dream of. Watching this movie makes every note of Fading West the music so much more beautiful. Now I am a die-hard Switchfoot fan, but that doesn't mean I love everything they put out. Like i wasn't hooked on Oh! Gravity. It seemed to random at parts, musically and lyrically. But hear me when I say this Fading West is absolutely beautifully amazing. Defiantly get this and yeah it's worth the $9.99 on iTunes.
Where do I begin

I have a ton of respect for Switchfoot, met the guys three times after shows, volunteered at shows, Bro Am, and Del Mar. Lyrically speaking, good positive message and vibes; but sound and production, who the hell produced this, Katy Perry dad? If they wanted to do something different, get Rick Ruben to help produce. Where was the band? Did Jon do a solo pop album? Everyone has a flop album, I pray this is the only flop album they produce
