"Some Mad Hope" is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson, released on August 14, 2007. It peaked on the Billboard 200 at #60, and peaked at 3 on the Top Independent Albums at 3. "Some Mad Hope" was Nathanson's first album for Vanguard Records, and contained two singles that became AAA airplay staples, "Car Crash" and "Come On, Get Higher". In September 2008 Vanguard Records announced "All We Are" and "To The Beat Of Our Noisy Hearts" as future singles, Matt has expressed live that he feels "Falling Apart" is the hit on the album but it remains to be seen if this will see release to radio.
