Nov 20, 2019What can I say? I discovered this album this year (thanks KEXP!) and it's been in heavy rotation in our house for about 6 months. Each track is wonderful it its own way, and as an album, it really flows where you want to listen begin to end. 'What is Your Secret', and 'Do It Again' are favorites this week. A 2005 album on our Best of 2019 list!

Like their last album, 2003's Let Go, The Weight Is a Gift is a top-notch collection of sad-eyed guitar ballads.

The Weight Is a Gift is Nada Surf's most honest and earnest record to date.

Alternative PressA nearly flawless album full of rocking pop songs that sound instantly timeless. [Oct 2005, p.156]
