This CD was good at first but got old real fast. "Meant to Live" was good until it was on the radio every 5 seconds. Only one song that doesnt get old on this CD is "24"

Honestly to me, none of the songs on this cd ever get old, it's probably one of my fav cds of alltime, and it rocks, fun, and is beautiful.

I would say "Meant to Live" died eventually after all the radio play (so did Stars, but that belongs elsewhere...). The best songs..."On Fire", "24", "Redemption". "Adding to the Noise" was also pretty good. And of course..."Dare You to Move" was awesome as a remix!

That was definitely a better remix, it had more passion, energy, and was just beautiful and it rocked.

Yeah. Pretty much I could listen to those songs over and over again (and have) and they don't get old Not even "Meant to Live" or "Stars", even though they were overplayed on the radio. I don't know why people have such problems with good songs getting too much airtime. If the song sucks, it shouldn't get airtime. If the song's good you can play it all you want on the radio; I'll just like it more.

I actually don't have "favorite tracks" on this cd. They pretty much are all awesome songs.

Yeah same with me, I pretty much have "flavors" whenever I listen to it, right now I've been listening to 24 and On Fire a ton for the last few days.

Switchfoot at their best.
I hate jumping on band wagons but you can not listen to this cd and say this is worthless.

Agreed. Half the songs on this CD were hits. NIS is pretty good, but a slight step down. Switchfoot is conforming to pop just a bit with NIS to reach more people, and that took away some of their musical originality. I like all their CDs though.
