Nothing is sound

After a few listens I can say that the new switchfoot album is worth the wait and the money. Is it as good as their last album? The melodies aren't as immediately catching. Is it as good as Learning to breathe? The lyrics arent as unified or in depth. Is is as good as Legend of Chin? dream on, Legend of Chin will never be touched. Is it good? All signs point to yes. Is it different? Yes in that there are some new influences at play. I see some POD and Nickelback influences in the first song, some Audioslave in the third, and some Mutemath throughout. How intentional is this? I don't know. But the album is good and I trust Jon, Tim, Chad, and Jerome enough to know that the more I listen, the more I will love.
