Switchfoot's The Early Years: 1997-2000, a double-jewel-case, three-CD set featuring the band's complete original albums, The Legend Of Chin, New Way To Be Human and Learning to Breathe continues to receive rave reviews. Released Nov. 2, YouthWalk says in an upcoming (April '05) review, "Before Switchfoot was the mega-selling, hot new band all over MTV, these guys were delivering consistently good, thoughtful tunes. They didn't just become great, they've been good all along and this boxed set compiling their three previous releases proves it. If you love their latest CD, The Beautiful Letdown, you will be so into The Legend of Chin, New Way to be Human, and Learning to Breathe…Switchfoot is awesome—both today and yesterday."
