"Velocity of Sound" was released in October 2002 by The Apples in Stereo, marking their fifth album release. The American release has an orange album cover, while the European version is green and the Japanese version is blue. The bonus track is also different for each version.

The album is somewhat louder and more aggressive than the band's four previous studio albums with more emphasis on electric instruments (such as the distorted sounds of an electric guitar) than acoustic.
