  • Executive Meddling: The possible reason why their 5th and 6th albums sound so generic to some. 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.
    • 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.
