Nothing Is Sound

If one is a Switchfoot fan, this CD is a must have. If one is a fan of "A Beautiful Letdown", this latest release from Switchfoot is a must have. If one has never heard of Switchfoot, or "A Beautiful Letdown", this CD will open a whole new realm of fresh rock music with poetic, insightful, and questioning lyrics. "Nothing is Sound" is like a walk through Ecclesiastes, where "everything is meaningless", yet has optimism and hope, and leaves the listener wanting more. There is more depth lyrically on "Nothing is Sound", it is well-produced, well written, and maintains the raw rock style of the Switchfoot sound. With works like "A Beautiful Letdown" and "Nothing is Sound" in the Switchfoot repertoire, not only will Christian rock music be measured by these standards, but Switchfoot is etching a measuring line for popular rock music as well.

Nothing is Sound" will be the flagship album in the Switchfoot library. It is solid musically, lyrically and conceptually. This is one of those albums that while a single song can be representative of it, it is not whole if one song is absent from it. This Cd will challenge you philosophically and spiritually, and it will entertain as well with wonderful, emotionally charged melodies, catchy hooks and rhythm, and thought provoking writing. Switchfoot has moved beyond "A Beautiful Letdown" and raised the bar another notch with "Nothing is Sound".
