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.
A remastered version of the album was released in 2009 with two bonus tracks.
All lyrics written by Daryl Palumbo. All music written by Glassjaw, except "Lovebites and Razorlines", "Hurting and Shoving (She Should Have Let Me Sleep)" and "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence", written by Glassjaw and Ross Robinson.
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence has received generally favorable reviews.
