Hello Hurricane (Deluxe Version) – SwitchfootView More By Switchfoot Our ReviewRoaring back on a new label with a retooled sound, Switchfoot turns Hello Hurricane into a triumphant statement of purpose. It's not that the album is free from fear and doubt — lead singer/songwriter Jon Foreman grapples with a host of inner afflictions in these tracks. But the strength of Hello Hurricane comes from its sense of spiritual victory in the face of overwhelming odds, aided by some of the brawniest rock the band has laid down since its inception. Distorted guitars and clattering rhythms lend urgency to “Needle and Haystack Life,” “The Sound (John M. Perkins’ Blues),” and “Bullet Soul.” Foreman takes on a desperate edge in tracks like the galvanizing title song, snatching joy from impending disaster. Emotional breakdown — and the promise of spiritual rebirth — is a reoccurring theme, captured with fevered eloquence in “Free” and “Mess of Me.” In contrast, “Your Love Is a Song” and “Enough to Let Me Go” are more contemplative visions of man’s relationship with God. “Always,” a delicately wrought expression of love between parent and child, may be the album’s most affecting moment.. Customer ReviewsItunes aversion to Switchfoot? (5 stars)Does itunes have an aversion to promoting Switchfoot? This is seriously one of the better cds to come out in a long while and itunes is stuck promoting Adam Lambert, the 2nd place American Idol performer. I wish itunes would quit falling in line with MTV and Rolling Stone magazine and go where the good music truly is. BEST WORK YET!! (5 stars) I never thought an album could get any better than Oh! Gravity...but this one is a completely different breed of Switchfoot, in a new amazing way of course. The trials and tribulations they went through as a band really show through on this album; the emotion is heart-wrenching, yet inspirational....some of the songs even made me cry, and I'm pretty sure Sing It Out is the best song I have heard in my life, no kidding. I get emotional just t Switchfoot's Best Album Since The Beautiful Letdown! (5 stars) Switchfoot’s 7th album (3rd after their mainstream hit Beautiful Letdown) signals a rebirth for the band that in many ways parallels Beautiful Letdown. Like that album, this was their first time recording independently without the pressures of a major record contract (they had parted ways with Columbia in 2008 and negotiated their current deal with Atlantic only after finishing the album). In fact, it was a challenging 2 years working on t BiographyFormed: 1996 in San Diego, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s After gaining a foothold in the contemporary Christian music scene, Switchfoot went mainstream with 2003's The Beautiful Letdown, a double-platinum album that straddled the line between sacred and secular rock music. The band spent the rest of its career appealing to both camps. Years before Switchfoot's commercial breakthrough, though, the group struggled to make a dent in the San Diego area, where singer/guitarist Jonathan Foreman, bassist Tim Foreman, and drummer Chad Butler began playing together...
