The Best Yet by Switchfoot

The Best Yet is an Alt/Indie album by Switchfoot, originally released in 2008. On Gatefold: 8 pressings tracked.

About

Switchfoot's first greatest-hits compilation illustrates the pop-rock band's knack for thoughtful, versatile songwriting. Grungy soul-searchers like "Meant to Live" and rowdy pogo-pop headbangers like "Oh! Gravity.” alternate with quieter moments like the piano-sparkled "On Fire" and the hushed, orchestral "Only Hope." It’s on songs like "Dare You to Move” and “Twenty-Four,” however, that they reveal their true prowess, splitting the difference between their soft and loud sides with chiming acoustic guitars and choruses that crash like high tide.
