Sometimes out of personal challenges and struggle comes enlightenment and great art. That is certainly the case here. On this, the Grammy-winning Switchfoot's 10th album, and first for Vanguard, they’ve produced a concept record of epic proportions. Seemingly centered on indomitable spirit and will, the California-based quintet delivers a cache of testifying hits. “Holy Water” features an anthemic chorus and huge sound wall, “Float” is uplifting and grooves like no other and “The Day I Found God” is appropriately peaceful and serene. In the process, perhaps, of casting a magnifying glass on themselves they should, undoubtedly, connect with fans.
