Yes, this album lacks a lot of what made Switchfoot themselves over the past decade, BUT it's not necessarily supposed to be taken just as a stand alone piece. The accompanying film adds so much life and character into some of these songs; the members' kids all singing on the chorus of the single, a choir full African children who is surviving their parents' death from AIDS, the very scary moment of the potential loss of Jon Foreman's daughter... all of these adds to wait would normally seem like an "uninspired" record.
