Lights and Sounds is Yellowcard's third album. It is also the long-awaited follow-up to Yellowcard's multi-platinum 2003 studio release Ocean Avenue. It was originally to be released in fall 2005 (see 2005 in music) and was finally released on January 24, 2006 (see 2006 in music). A special edition of the album issued simultaneously contained a bonus DVD with documentaries, the music video to the title track and live performances

Although it reached #5 on the Billboard 200, Yellowcard's Lights And Sounds with sales of just over 1 million, failed to match the 2 million sales of their previous album, Ocean Avenue.

The lead single "Lights And Sounds" reached #4 on the modern rock charts. Capitol intended to boost sales of the album by selecting the second single; however, the follow-up single "Rough Landing, Holly" failed to reach the Top 20 of the rock charts.
