As Switchfoot released its 10th studio album, Where The Light Shines Through, fans were asked a big question: Which Switchfoot album is the best? 

And through a voting bracket on Twitter, they made their voices heard with 667 votes, ultimately selecting 2003 The Beautiful Letdown as the favorite by Jon Foreman & Co.

All 10 albums were pitted against each other, leading to a Final Four of The Beautiful Letdown, Nothing Is Sound, Hello Hurricane and Where The Light Shines Through. In a vote of 42 percent to 58 percent, Switchfoot's newest offering ultimately fell to the project responsible for "Dare You to Move," "Meant To Live," "This is Your Life" and "On Fire", among others.  

Here's how the voting shook out: 
After voting was completed, the ranking of albums was as follows: 

1. The Beautiful Letdown
2. Where The Light Shines Through
3. Nothing is Sound 
4. Hello Hurricane
5. Vice Verses
6. Fading West
7. Oh! Gravity
8. New Way to Be Human
9. Learning to Breathe
10. The Legend of Chin

Surprised by some of the results of the vote, the NRT Founder Kevin McNeese and NRT Executive Editor Marcus Hathcock compiled their own comprehensive ranking of Switchfoot albums:

1. The Beautiful Letdown
2. Fading West
3. Vice Verses
4. Where The Light Shines Through
