1* ExecutiveMeddling: The possible reason why their 5th and 6th albums sound so generic to some. [[WordOfGod The band themselves]] heavily imply this, and it's cited as part of their reasoning for releasing their music independently. Most people believe that ''Hurricane'' and ''Verses'' are a bit better than the two previous albums as a result. ''Vice Verses'' faced executive meddling because even though their own label is independent, it's still part of an umbrella company that helps keep it in business.
2** The Rootkit that was put into certain Sony BMG Albums, which included Switchfoots' ''Nothing is Sound'', was entirely Sony Music's doing. It got to the point where Tim Foreman posted a workaround on the bands forums, Jon Foreman openly calling out Sony for their practice, and would be one of the reasons they left Columbia Records after ''Oh Gravity'' released.
