|
An album named 'The Beautiful Letdown' by a band called Switchfoot has fallen 261 places since 29th June 2009. That is the most an album that was in the top 200 has fallen.
Digging deeper, it has a rank score of 1,388. 2 years ago on this day it had a rank score of 1,431  Could the same person have put it in their charts? Was the album forgotten by the public so quickly? Or mayb a Switchfoot fan club found the site early on?
I gave the album a chance in the past but I can't remember what it sounded like at all now. On first listen, it sounds like I was positive towards it.
Strange huh?

Imagine Fountains of Wayne without the irony. Or Hoobastank, only marginally more talented.
The reason it is/was so high is the Christian bump.

It doesn't deserve to be as high as it is. Switchfoot are a genuinely untalented band.

May I ask how you find this information?
On the album itself; I have no idea, I never heard it, and when I look at the discription I really don't want to.

Yeah, Switchfoot really sucks. It isn't necessarily that their compositions are that abysmal; it's that they are horrible musicians!

Not to offend anyone who likes Switchfoot, but the the typical fan is an annoying hardcore Christian playing their acoustic guitar in the hallway horribly with a untalented female singer singing cheesy songs about Jesus's love.
Even though I'm Catholic, I find these people worse then metal heads, at least metal heads keep to themselves with their blasting earphones.
Now that generalization is out of the way, I'm surprised Switchfoot is even in the top 1000 for that matter..

I was frankly stunned to see that album in the top 200 at all. If it falls off the face of the earth tomorrow it won't be soon enough.

Woah, lots of hate towards these guys. Can't say I am very familiar with them or the album itself, and I guess that won't change.
