What the fuck are you looking at me like that for? Oh, right. This. Well, what can I say? This is a really wonderful album. It's intelligently written, perfectly arranged and home to some of the catchier left-of-centre pop songs of the 2000s. The guitars roar, the vocals are dripping with harmony and passion and it all just feels so fucking glorious, man. It's a pleasure to listen to, every single time. So stop looking at me like that.

In trying to follow up the massive hit that is The Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot goes darker and slightly heavier to make an even better album in Nothing Is Sound. Jon Foreman's lyrics are more poetic and more blunt all at the same time, and the band's sound evolves ever-so-slightly to make for less mid-tempo pop-rock and more straight up post-grunge. It really suits the band well, as some of their best tracks like "Stars" and "The Shadow Proves the Sunshine" show how they can go to darker places lyrically and musically yet still keep the inspirational slant that made The Beautiful Letdown great. The album flows perfectly, with "Golden" being the only track feeling out of place because of its in-the-box sound. This is the best Switchfoot has ever been, and I don't know if they'll be able to top it.

Switchfoot's weakest album, by far, but it still manages to be good. Speaks to the precedent they've established.
