Vinyl LP pressing. Multi-platinum San Diego-based rock band Switchfoot's fifth studio album, 2005's Nothing Is Sound arrived two years after the release of their major label debut, the double-platinum The Beautiful Letdown, which yielded two Top 5 hit singles: "Meant to Live" and "Dare You to Move." Touring nonstop, Switchfoot had no choice but to write and record the bulk of the album on the road. While this on-the-fly approach was predicated on necessity, it did have one major benefit - enabling the band to road-test new songs in front of a highly vocal crowd immediately after it was finished.
