Sep 7, 2011Easily one of their best albums! They put as much effort into every song equally, unlike most modern albums when they focus on 2 or 3 songs in particular, its all good!

Oct 22, 2012Switchfoot has yet to prove themselves as an important band, and "Hello Hurricane" is certainly a weak album, but their aspirations to be an important are always apparent and the choruses of their better songs on "Hurricane" make you root for them, if only for a while.

Jun 3, 2020In 2020 this phenomenal album finds even more relevance than the year it was released. In particular, the alt rock single "The Sound (John M. Perkins' Blues)" gives voice to the tangible feelings of despair our country is currently facing. This album calls for justice, but it also calls for love. This is an album to lean on right now.

Hello Hurricane is by far the San Diego rockers' most natural, effortless outing to date.

Alternative PressAn uplifting, hope-giving affirmation of resurgence from a band who might have been down at one point but were definitely never out. [Dec 2009, p.117]

More than a couple of the mid-tempo light rockers here lack teeth, some of them even lack gums. We’ve heard Switchfoot as weepy soundtrack peddlers before, but Switchfoot the rock band, it turns out, is pretty darn good.
