Nothing Is Sound by Switchfoot
Nothing Is Sound is an album by Switchfoot, released in 2005. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 12 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Stars”, on 12 lists with a best position of #34.
Nothing Is Sound, Switchfoot's fifth studio album, arrived on September 13, 2005, the San Diego band's follow-up to The Beautiful Letdown, the major-label breakout that gave them "Meant to Live" and "Dare You to Move". John Fields produced, and the sound is darker and more jagged: Jon Foreman's voice riding bristling guitars from Drew Shirley and Jerome Fontamillas, with his brother Tim Foreman on bass and Chad Butler hitting hard behind them.
"Stars" led the charge, becoming the most-added song at modern rock radio, and the album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200. The bigger story was the copy protection: every disc carried XCP software, Tim posted a workaround on the band's website, Columbia yanked it, and the album ended up at the front of the Sony BMG copy-prevention scandal that saw the protected CDs recalled.
