Lights and Sounds was finally released on January 24, 2006. A loose concept album, the theme centers around Yellowcard’s negative feelings towards Los Angeles. Prior to the release of Lights and Sounds Ryan Key said that this ambitious album would probably alienate a large portion of the group’s fan base, and that he was “100 percent okay with that.” 20 songs were recorded for the album, 14 of which are on the CD, plus a B-side available on import versions, CD singles, and at the iTunes Store , called “Three Flights Down”. The opening track, “Three Flights Up”, was the first instrumental track on a Yellowcard album since “Interlewd” on the band’s first album, Midget Tossing . Those two and “Convocation” from their 2014 release, Lift a Sail , are the only instrumental tracks the band has released on an album.
