Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence is the debut album of American post-hardcore band Glassjaw, released on May 9, 2000, by Roadrunner Records.

A remastered version of the album[5] was released on March 24, 2009, with two bonus tracks: "Convectuoso" and a cover of Youth of Today's "Modern Love Story".

[6] Glassjaw originally formed in 1993 after vocalist Daryl Palumbo and guitarist Justin Beck met each other working for a summer camp.

Their line up would eventually stabilize by 1999, featuring bassist Manuel Carrero, guitarist Todd Weinstock, and drummer Sammy Siegler.

Robinson, impressed by the material, would then show up to a rehearsal, after which he offered them studio time at Indigo Ranch and convinced Roadrunner Records to sign the group.

[10][11] In a 2017 article by Pitchfork titled "Unraveling the Sexism of Emo's Third Wave", Jenn Pelly addressed Glassjaw and the song "Pretty Lush" and criticised the band's lyrics for being "embarrassingly spiteful to bluntly-stated violence against women".

[21] NME compared the album to "Jeff Buckley doused in napalm, crawling through a room full of broken glass.
