Album Of The Day: Where The Light Shines Through by Switchfoot
"Your wounds are where the light shines through." Released 9 years ago today, this is the tenth album from Switchfoot, one of my all-time favorite bands. This is definitely not my favorite album from this band, but it by no means has caught the boys napping. The band are seasoned musicians, and they each play their parts making great rock/pop music. Songs like "Holy Water", "If The House Burns Down Tonight" and "Bull In A China Shop" give guitarist Drew Shirley opportunities to show off his guitar prowess, and the title track has some beautiful blues licks mixed in with it. "Float" is a really fun pop song and is a hit at concerts, plus an excuse to turn on the bubble machine. Songs like "I Won't Let You Go", "The Day That I Found God" and "Live It Well" do have some religious language which some fans like and others do not, but they're still solid slower songs from Switchfoot. It's not their best album but it's still a first-class collection of songs from five guys who like to entertain and ask some of the deeper questions about life.
