Nothing short of amazing!

Easily Switchfoot's best effort, possibly one of the best albums released this decade. What appears on the surface to be a depressing effort gives way to incredible hope and promise on a deeper listen. Nothing is sounds picks up the mood and feel of the closing track of The Beautiful Letdown, and carries it through this entire album. Lyrically, songs such as Daisy, Happy is a Yuppie Word, and Golden search for- and find- the best in situations where only despair is easy to see. And the seemingly downward mood of The Blues sets the stage perfectly for the eternal hope of The Setting Sun. Musically, this album marks the coming of age of Switchfoot. With the simplicity of The Blues, the raw freshness of Happy is a Yuppie Word, and the fun energy of Stars and We Are One, the band has married the feel of the music to the mood of the songs with 100% accuracy.
