And, the reviews for "Hello Hurricane" are starting to trickle in at a faster rate. Here are some that have come in over the last few days.

The Album Project
Indievisionmusic Here's an excerpt:
Overall: Hello Hurricane is the soundtrack for those storms everyone faces in their lives. It sounds vast, full of life and hope, and every bit fitting to the theme it was created for. It will certainly inspire as well as uplift. Rest assured, there’s something for everyone here. Older fans will love the intense pacing and screaming (Jon’s best yet) in ‘Bullet Soul’, a song that would fit at home on one of their earlier releases in the 90’s. Others seeking the emotional tracks that stir the soul will be pleased with the groovy love ballad, ‘Enough to Let Me Go’, and the more somber tune filled with heartfelt frustration and release in ‘Sing It Out’. Those that enjoyed The Beautiful Letdown more than their most recent releases will eat this up (as will Switchfoot fans in general). And yet others will simply love it for what it is and won’t hesitate to pop it in when encouragement is needed.

Christian News Wire reports that GMC will be premiering their new HD channel, and that Switchfoot will be the second main feature the channel ever airs:
GMC's HD launch on Nov. 27 will occur in prime time at 8:00 pm with world HD premiere of Facing the Giants, called " the #1 inspirational movie since Passion of The Christ" followed by the exclusive world premiere of a new original concert featuring Switchfoot (10:30 pm)
^If any of you have the GMC in your area, I expect a Youtube upload! ;)

"Mess of Me"
