SpazzyMcGee Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 I feel like they'll have a sale for their titles do I'm going to wait and save a couple or wait until it's resold from a third party for cheaper. SRC always has different colors up if one sells out so I can chill even though I'm really excited this is a real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I've always wondered if the grooves on those things are real, I'd assume not. Ditto on that question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'll wait for someone on here to sell their copy or wait for it to go on clearance with SRC. I've waited a long time for this and I can wait some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 WELCOME TO THE FALLOUT. I try not to go into threads just to talk shit about a band I have little-to-no interest in, but this made me laugh pretty good. So bad. I read this and instantly heard that cheesy butt-rock guitar riff in my head. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Oh yeah, Switchfoot is kinda terrible, but this album was rotated constantly by me when it first came out... and it really is well done (for what it is), buddy from Mortal was probably featured most prominently on this album and it added an atmosphere that was very unique (to the genre). And the involvement of Daniel Victor (of Neverending White Lights) is always a plus (and probably what tipped this from a waffle-buy to a must-buy, if I'm being honest with myself).

daegor Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (had to look his name), Jerome Fontamillas, one half of Mortal, involved in projects like The Echoing Green and Fold Zandura as well. He did Guitar, Keyboards, and backing vocals on this album. I was mainly referring to his contributions via keyboard. He's been on again off again with the band, it looks like he was on Beautiful Letdown, Hello Hurricane, and Fading West He's been with the band since The Beautiful Letdown, which (I think) most prominently displayed his contribution to the band (I haven't listened to anything since 'Oh! Gravity.'). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The music biz, especially people who started in Christian music, is quite incestuous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The music biz, especially people who started in Christian music, is quite incestuous. This. Though in some veins I consider this a good thing (pretty much anything related to the Argyle Park project, for instance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Not in this specific case, but yes, I get it. If Jason Martin all of sudden joined Radiohead, I would start buying Radiohead albums. But it's nice to see guys in bands I liked as teenagers grow into professional musicians and get the opportunity to do what they love and get paid for it handsomely (I assume).Also, since we share an affinity for many bands, I did like some Fold Zan. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmhmm Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 My sense is this hasn't sold well enough to spark significant interest in pressing more Switchfoot albums...which is sad. On a side note: why, oh why, isn't Fading West available on vinyl? It's possibly their best album..in years/ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF answered some questions a couple months ago about it, they said Fading West should be coming in December but I'm thinking more Jan/Feb I know I emailed BandFarm about this because when Switchfoot was on Letterman he held up an LP size cover and I got excited. At that time of the email BandFarm told me that it wasn't on vinyl. So I hope it does come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy plays bass Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I thought Fading West had a couple good songs (the last two on the album, specifically), but besides that it was pretty bad. Maybe a slight improvement over Vice Verses, but both of those albums are such a huge dive in quality even from Hello Hurricane and especially from their best work. That said, I'm very stoked about TBL finally getting pressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazzyMcGee Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Just got my blue copy. Really excellent job on the mastering. Very satisfied with the whole thing. The bass, backing vocals, keys, strings and other nuances are more noticeable now. Definitely hearing things I've never heard before. mmhmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
