Switchfoot – Rise Above It [NEW Album 2011]

On September 27th, Credential Recordings/lowercase people and Atlantic Records will release Vice Verses, the eighth studio record from multi-platinum rock band Switchfoot. Working with producer Neal Avron (Weezer, Linkin Park), the band recorded most of the album in their San Diego, CA home studio. Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Regina Spektor) who pro duced Switchfoot’s GRAMMY-winning album, Hello Hurricane, served as executive producer. Released in 2009, Hello Hurricane entered The Billboard 200 at No. 13 and contained the Modern Rock hits “The Sound (John M. Perkins’ Blues)” and “Mess of Me.” “Vice Verses is a record of tension and release. It’s an attempt to describe the polarity of the human experience. The sunlight and shadow. The highs and lows, laughter and pain, hope and fear, doubts and belief,” says lead singer/guitarist Jon Foreman. In the title track, he writes, “…’Every blessing comes with a set of curses. I got my vices. I got my vice verses.’ So we live in the tension — pulled and stretched thin. Vice Verses is soul music –attempting to get to the heart of the human experience: Living in the tension and turning it into song…” Vice Verses is the work of a band that is so restless, they devote an entire song (“Restless”) to the condition. It’s that very uneasiness — an unwillingness to choose the treadmill over the triathlon — that fuels the band’s forays into new musical territory and Jon Foreman’s unflinchingly honest lyrics. You can hear the tension build

MythBusters is a science entertainment TV program created and produced by Beyond Television Productions[1] for the Discovery Channel. The series is screened by numerous international broadcasters, including Discovery Channel Australia, Discovery Channel Latin America, Discovery Channel Canada, Quest and the Discovery Channel in the UK. The show’s hosts, special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, use elements of the scientific method to test the validity of rumors, myths, movie scenes, adages, Internet videos and news stories. Filming is based in the city of San Francisco, California, though some elements of production are done in Artarmon, Australia. Planning and some experimentation takes place at Hyneman’s workshops in the city of San Francisco; experiments requiring more space or special accommodations are filmed on location, typically around the San Francisco Bay Area and other Northern California places, but the show will go to even further locations when required, such as Florida to do some alligator experiments or Africa for some shark and elephant myths.

    @Reloading26 then you obviously haven’t heard much rap. Eminem and Lil Wayne are rap. This is alternative rock.

    @n33wom A lot of their older music really was labeled Christian they had more worship lyrics. I agree though it scares people away for some reason to be labeled as such.

    I’m not a fan of people who label bands as religious. As soon as a band associates itself with a religious sect, it cuts itself off from so many people; just because the band-members of switchfoot may believe in a higher being, it doesn’t mean they are a Christian band. They are just a good band, with lyrics that actually mean something, regardless of what you believe in.

    A little Fact. objects thrown into an oncoming car and hits it in the windshield can definitely kill you. That object would be a rock. No need to shoot it. This kind of act is typical for a P.O.S. teenage thug in Thailand. Basically they want you to have a horrible accident and they will come to you and take anything that is valuable from you and ur car. So if you plan to visit Thailand think twice about road trip while in Thailand. Especially at night.

    @caocoabutter No, they already proved that wrong. It’s Newton’s Law: “For every action there’s an equal and oposite reaction.”

    @Psychic9008 It’s just Newton’s Law. It has nothing to do with crumple zones. “For every action there’s an equal and oposite reaction.”

    @Francesc2000 you’re right. and i think the both cars having two crumple zones had something to do with the massive reduction of impact when they crashed onto each other

    @Francesc2000 I understand why you would think they are wrong, but this situation is totally different than that of the other episode. This episode uses another law of Physics, the second, as opposed to the third, that they used in the other episode.
