Rating: 3/5 Not quite Rock for me, worth a listen all the same
Switchfoot – Vice Verses
Another Album that has been in my 'Unheard' Folder in Spotify for so long, I cannot for the life of me remember how I came across it.
I must admit, I had to look these up on Last.fm, embarrassingly for me these have been around since 1996, and if this Album is anything to go by, I shouild really check out there older stuff, not my idea of Rock though
The Album contains a few good tracks, mainly in the first half to middle of the album, I found 'The War Inside' a good tune, and 'Blinding Light' was annoyingly catchy, even 'Selling the News', despite the voiceover instead of singing has something about it, 'Dark Horses' will wake you up if the previous, more mellow tracks were not doing it for you.
I like Jon Foremans (yes, I did some research) Vocals, whether the heavier/rockier tracks on the album, or the crooning variety, not forced, just easy on the ears.
In all, a half decent Album, that could be played from start to finish, without any dreadful tracks getting in the way, although the last couple of songs are not as effective as the rest.
This Album is by no means for everyone, but I would recommend listening at least once, and all the way through. I will definitely be saving into one of my folders, but it certainly won't be in the one named 'Rock'.
