Material Control is the third studio album by American post-hardcore band Glassjaw.

Following a few years of relative inactivity, on December 1, 2015 Glassjaw released 'New White Extremity', the first new music from the band since 2011's Coloring Book, with the information that the song is from a forthcoming album.

The band's founders, vocalist Daryl Palumbo and guitarist Justin Beck, wrote the album entirely themselves with Justin Beck handling all of the instruments except drums, which were performed by Billy Rymer, additional percussion on 'Bastille Day' by former bassist Ariel Telford, and additional vocals by Mind Over Matter frontman George Reynolds on 'Pompeii'.

[4] 'Bastille Day' was mostly recorded by former Glassjaw bassist Ariel Telford, aside from hand claps added by the band.

The lyric themes of the album generally fall under the same categories except for the fourth track – 'Golgotha'– which Palumbo has said is about becoming a family man.
