Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence is the debut album of American post hardcore band Glassjaw, released in 2000. It was produced by Ross Robinson. Glassjaw has been rumored to discourage the purchasing of this album due to their acrimonious split from Roadrunner Records. Instead, they encourage people to download their music via file sharing software, such as Limewire. Robinson claimed that the label showed no interest in the band until he pushed to have them signed and showed little interest after.

Trivia

  • On the UK release of the album, the song "Motel of the White Locust" is actually entitled "Hotel of the White Locust".
  • The song "Pretty Lush" is about an ex-girlfriend of vocalist Daryl Palumbo, whom he claims was a virgin but left him and had sex with a random guy while she was intoxicated. Hence the lyric, "You can lead a whore to water, and you can bet she'll drink and follow orders".
  • "Ry Ry's Song" is about a mutual friend of the band who is constantly getting used by women for intercourse.
