I would classify Switchfoot as alternative and not Christian, although nothing in lyrics conflicts with a christian worldview. Music enjoyed by my teens that I love too. Their newest album "Hello Hurricane" is terrific too.

Interesting Story
Teh topics that are discussed in the CD are of great and pivitol importance to the fundemental structure of a teen's descions. As a young Christian I found all of their CDs especially helpful and inspiring.

Best Album Ever Made
This is simply put, my favorite album ever. and just so you know Switchfoot is NOT a Christian band. their messages do tend to to sync up with Christian teachings, but that does not make them a Christian band

Deffinatly not a Letdown
It's always nice to have the praise music where somebody sings how great god is, but sometimes you just want some good music with christian values. Switchfoot isn't "Adding to the Noise" once again with their best CD so far. This one includes both Meant to Live and Dare you to move, which are two of their most popular songs. The other songs on this CD are also amazing, making this a great buy. If you havn't expiriences Switchfoot yet, make this your first CD.

Mostly Boring
Not that great. It has some good songs like "Meant to Live," "Dare You to Move," but other than that is pretty average. Has some very annoying songs like "gone."
