'''''Sound Shattering Sound''''' is the major label debut by [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]] [[alternative rock]] band [[Gyroscope (band)|Gyroscope]] released on 14 June 2004 in Australia and debuted a week later on the Australian album charts in the top 40 at No&nbsp;37.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Gyroscope&titel=Sound+Shattering+Sound&cat=a|title=Sound Shattering Sound|work=Australian Charts|publisher=Hung Medien|accessdate=8 April 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/Gyroscope-Sound-Shattering-Sound/master/1047904 |title=Gyroscope - Sound Shattering Sound~ Releases on Discogs}}</ref>

== History ==

The album was produced by Shaun O'Callaghan ([[John Butler Trio]], [[Eskimo Joe]]) who had  produced the band's previous two [[Extended play|EPs]]. Gyroscope vocalist and guitarist Daniel Sanders says on the [[Festival Mushroom Records]] website. <blockquote>"The music that drove us the most were albums like [[Weezer|Weezer's]] debut, or [[Foo Fighters]] ''[[The Colour and the Shape]]''. They were more of an adventure rather than just being a 40-minute album. I think we got there in the end."<ref>{{cite web|archiveurl=https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20041219130000/http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/45627/20041220-0000/www.amo.org.au/artist1e4a.html|url=http://www.amo.org.au/artist1e4a.html|title=Gyroscope|publisher=Australia Council for the Arts|work=Australia Music Online|archivedate=19 December 2004|accessdate=24 April 2015}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref></blockquote>

Five out of the album's twelve tracks were previously available either on the band's earlier EPs or singles.

== Singles ==

The first single from the album, "[[Safe Forever]]", was released on 15 March 2004, peaking in the top&nbsp;100 of the [[ARIA Charts|ARIA Singles Chart]].<ref name="ARIA Report 735">{{cite journal | archiveurl = https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20040406140000/http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/23790/20040407-0000/Issue735.pdf | url = http://www.ariacharts.com.au/about/faq#q6 | title = Week Commencing 29th March 2004 | work = The ARIA Report | publisher = Australian Recording Industry Association | issue = 735 | pages = 2, 16 | format = PDF | archivedate =  6 April 2004 | date = 29 March 2004 | accessdate = 21 April 2015 }}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> The song also polled at No.&nbsp;97 on [[Triple J Hottest 100, 2004|Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2004]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/history/2004.htm|title=Hottest 100 2004|publisher=[[Triple J]]|accessdate=24 April 2010}}</ref>

The second and third singles, "Take This for Granted" and "Get Down" both failed to chart. The music videos for both "Safe Forever" and "Take This for Granted" were directed by Matt Weston. The video for "Take This For Granted" was shot in Sydney at the now closed [[White Bay Power Station]] (the same location used in ''[[The Matrix Reloaded]]'', ''[[Mission: Impossible III]]'' and ''[[Red Planet (movie)|Red Planet]]'' films).<ref>{{cite web|archiveurl=https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20041219130000/http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/45627/20041220-0000/www.amo.org.au/artist1e4a.html|url=http://www.amo.org.au/artist1e4a.html|title=Gyroscope|publisher=Australian Council for the Arts|work=[[Australian Music Online]]|date=|archivedate=19 December 2004|accessdate=28 April 2015}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
