Free Music Review: This Band Is Sending Out Music For A Revolution
Hit: 5 Stars
Can a rock band change the world? If there is ever a band that is making an effort, it is Switchfoot. The message of their music is positive and engaging, spiritual and uplifting, and never dull.
And now, by the Track:
#1. Meant To Live - Great entry into the song. Hard guitar licks and drums are solid - a little unique actually. Great lyrics that really make the listener think about how messed up things can be when we walk without direction.
#2. This Is Your Life - Strange entry that just proves the band is not one-dimensional. The lyrics in this song are a wake-up call for everyone who is not living life to the fullest. We can't go back and correct our mistakes, but we can change...today...now. It isn't easy to realize our faults and change our attitude. Are you who you want to be?
#3. More Than Fine - Catchy little tune. Not as gritty as some of the other songs on the CD, but still good. I've heard this song a lot, as the Christian radio staion in our area plays this song quite a bit. We should never settle for "just fine". People need to reach for the best they can deliver.
#4. Ammunition - A little rough around the edges. A little too fast. Sounds like the Muppets doing a Steven Curtis Chapman song. :-)
#5. Dare You To Move Me - Wow! I am a big soccer fan. Imagine how cool it was to tune in to the MLS Cup Championship and see these disciples of Christ playing this song at half time. A touch of heaven indeed. Jesus, Rock music, and soccer! This song is so good, my review could only drag it down - so just listen to it...LOUD!
#6. Redemption - Okay stuff. Some of the singing seems forced and doesn't flow as well as most of Switchfoot's creations. Still better than a lot of stuff out there.
#7. The Beautiful Letdown - Slow, slightly strange, and a little dreary entry, followed by some strange musical change-ups that show this band is not going to be stuck in a box and made to stay there. This song gets better as it goes, and it carries such a wonderful message of hope...hope when we are at the end of our rope - the end of what society (but not the Lord) deems worthy.
#8. Gone - I have to believe my daughters have listened to this song one-thousand times or more! This song is very catchy and fun. They even managed to get Frank Sinatra and Elvis in on this one. Some songs really just flow out like they always existed and were just waiting for someone to find them...this reminds me of one of those songs.
#9. On Fire - Slow song dealing with how we feel inside, and can anyone really understand what we feel inside our own heads. There is indeed One who understands our mysteries - even more than we can understand or comprehend His mysteries.
#10. Adding To The Noise - Choppy, forced, and maybe not ready for this CD. Interesting lyrics about life today, though.
#11. Twenty-Four - Haven't made up my mind about this one yet. I basically have no opinion on this song because I need to listen to it a few more times to decide if I like it or not. Sorry to any possible buyers who may now be delayed in making a choice. :-) Maybe I'll update this when I figure out what I think about this one...
Overall - an excellent CD!
See ya next review.
