This is their worst album yet. Uninspiring music produce for a simple buck. What happened to the old Switchfoot?

Okay! I can get with this. Their last albums lost me honestly. Like I stopped listening right after Vice Verses lol. So this is a great, sweet return. Thank you Switchfoot 🤍

If you are Switchfoot fan, this album should NOT change that. The lyrics are honest, contemplative and, as always, uncompromising. The songs are melodic, and the whole album flows nicely. Kick back and enjoy! However, many other reviewers do have a valid point: this is a pop album. For the most part, Jerome’s keyboards are front and center, and he delivers gorgeous moods and textures on every track. But if you wanted to rock, this is not the one. Yes, there are a couple of up-tempo jams with great hooks…and I’m sure SF will rock them live. But the guitars are not prominent in the studio mix…a few songs seem not to have a guitar at all. The way the guys talked about this one, I thought this would be more of a gritty-sounding “live in studio” album. Again, it is not. And now that I’ve listened several times and am over myself, I’m enjoying what they did do rather than worrying about what I thought or hoped they’d do. Their music really is a gift. And this one is as thoughtful as any they’ve given us. Thank you, Switchfoot!

I’m as big of a Switchfoot fan as they come, so this album was a huge disappointment. Come on guys, you can do better. This was relatively boring and uninspired. It’s their worst album in 20 years. There isn’t a single hit or memorable song on this album. I hope this was a COVID mistake. Sorry, but I had to give my honest opinion. I barely want to listen to it twice…
- Switchfoot Rocks!

These guys still have it, no matter what the haters have to say.
- everything is right about this album; let the haters hate

Sad and disappointing. I’ve been their biggest fan since the beginning, but in honesty, this isn’t the Switchfoot that I’ve loved for 24 years
- So, so good

Folks, this is a fantastic Switchfoot album. Yes, it's different than their last few albums, but the heart is the same, the musicianship is fantastic, and the lyrics range from clever to introspective. The reviews that have commented on the pre-release tracks are silly because this truly is an album with a theme - namely, we need each other even if we disagree. Good message for our times. Doesn't hurt that there are some real bangers on here, too. If you quit following the guys in the last decade or so, this is a great point to jump back in.

I saw you guys in PA last weekend and your show (like many others I’ve seen of you) was amazing!! I loved the new songs so I came and bought your album. It’s been a long time since I’ve found an album where I like almost every single song but you guys nailed it with this one!! Your music has been playing in my car and home all week! Love it and awesome album guys!!

They pushed themselves to make an album outside of their comfort zone, and this is exactly where they thrive. SF just being SF, not catering to any one specific taste and making an album only they could. Writing about loving your enemy, in a time when even love and grace seem controversial. You’ll pick up on new things with every listen, both musically and lyrically. Keep it up guys, we’re loving it.
