Recording information: Tiny Telephone, San Francisco, California (2005).
Though it was poised for major-label alt-rock greatness in the late 1990s before being derailed by a novelty hit, Nada Surf truly hit a creative stride after signing to Barsuk Records in the early 2000s. Co-produced by Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla, THE WEIGHT IS A GIFT (2005) shows that indie status suits this Brooklyn trio just fine, as the band runs through an impressive set of highly melodic guitar-driven songs.
Nada Surf have always had a knack for mixing up speeds within the construct of basic indie rock, and its fourth record is no exception. The trio opens with the breezy power pop of "Concrete Bed," creates one of the more sincere and sweet power ballads with "Always Love," and ends on the Guided By Voices-conjuring "Imaginary Friends." As usual, Caws's earnest vocals have just the slightest element of the off-kilter, lending a keenly personal aura that hangs gently over this appealing record.

Editorial reviews
4 stars out of 5 - [R]ammed with stinging hooks and ringing harmonies....[A] sweet mixture of the cynical and lovelorn...
Uncut  

...Their fourth CD boasts the same lo-fi jangle and lush fuzz as 2003's LET GO... - Grade: B
Entertainment Weekly  

3 out of 5 stars - ...[B]ewitching minor-key melodies...The band's tunes achieve a kind of sleight-of-hand majesty, but Nada Surf never sound like they're trying too hard....
Rolling Stone  

4 stars out of 5 - THE WEIGHT IS A GIFT is a triumph of majestic American pop uplift over bleak real-life adversity.
Mojo  

Ranked #38 in Mojo's The 50 Best Albums Of 2005 - [A]nother volume of self-lacerating, bi-polar power-pop.
