Beautiful Letdown | Posted May 12, 2008
This CD isn't the best from Switchfoot to be honest. I liked Nothing Is Sound better. the best songs off this album are probably all the radio hits: Gone, This Is Your Life, On Fire and Meant to Live. "Dare You To Move" just got really old. but I also really like their song "Adding to the Noise". the worst songs have to be the title track and "Twenty-four". other than that, the whole CD is pretty good.

Switchfoot cd review | Posted March 08, 2008
I love Jon Foreman`s unique rock sound. This is Swichfoot`s best cd! Every song is amazing, from the fun sound of 'Gone', to the worship sound of 'On Fire'. Great lyrics, every song has a message.

Switchfoot's Finest | Posted February 14, 2008
I've been listening to Switchfoot about a year now and I have all of their records but none of their previous albums compare to "The Beautiful Letdown". This album's overriding message is redemption with a little antimaterialism mixed in. My favorite track would have to be the worshipful "On Fire". Every track on the album is good but especially: "Meant To Live", "Redemption", "Gone", "Twenty-Four, and "Dare You To Move". Like I said earlier on in the review I greatly enjoyed this CD, I can't recommend it enough.

Beautiful Letdown is a Beautiful Hit. | Posted January 28, 2008
The major label debut from Switchfoot garnered these guys fame in Christian and secular audiences after this album came out. This is one of the best Christian albums of all time. Any music fan MUST, I repeat MUST have this album in their music collection.
