Switchfoot
Comment:
A true U.K. vet (U2/the Cure producer Tim Palmer) stepped behind the boards for Switchfoot's sixth effort, a leap-forward of an album called [i]Oh! Gravity.[/i]. Unafraid to take risks from beginning to end, the band seized every song by its hooks and verses, including the crashing, stop/start chords of "Dirty Second Hands" and the piano-led glam-rock leanings of "Amateur Lovers." Not that Switchfoot didn't push their sound in the past — whether we're talkin' the hazy, hushed melodies of "You," the grinding guitars of "Company Car," the punchy percussion of "You Already Take Me There," or the shifty synths and deftly tweaked vocals of "The Beautiful Letdown."
