July 9: Switchfoot - The Beautiful Letdown
Hm... Michael W. Smith crossed with Collective Soul... is actually quite good.
I'd been dithering (yes, dithering) over whether or not to buy this for a few months now, then finally knuckled under when I saw it at Target with a bonus DVD AND a free sticker for only $9.99 (the sticker is really what did it). Supposedly, Switchfoot are a Christian band: Kit and Brandon vaguely remember them coming through Edmond several years ago and playing a church somewhere. But the only thing Christian I notice about the CD is the aforementioned Michael W. Smith influence, which actually gives these post-post-grunge songs an interesting twist. It's certainly better than Evanescence, that's for sure.
