5.0 out of 5 stars THIS CD IS AMAZING!, October 10, 1999
By A Customer
I found a promo copy of Proximity Effect in a used record store. I feel like the luckiest man alive. This album is amazing, my favorite. Like people have already said, you can listen to the whole thing over, and over, and never get tired of it! I have no idea why this isn't for sale in the US, I can see it being huge! I hope that my band can pull off what Nada Surf just did. Lastly, buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, July 7, 2000
By Sam Lewis (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
Every now and then I look at my album collection and think, "That's it! I can't imagine ever listening to a new album that is better than what I've got". I was thinking this before I got the proximity effect, it proves how wrong you can be! I always thought Nada Surf were OK, but this album knocked me for six, the songs are amazing, they play with passion AND are subtle. 80 windows and Robot have to be two of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Whilst Nada Surf deal with touchy subjects, they never do so in a tacky or overstated way. Now I have to wonder if I'll ever hear anything that tops this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nada Surf is ba-ack!, June 3, 2000
By Pablo Miyazawa Rocha (São Paulo, SP Brazil) - See all my reviews
I could not understand why this cd was not release in the us...and now that I know it, i realize what a great injustice this is. All the songs are just fabulous. This is one of the best power trios in rock history! Do you think I'm wrong? So listen Proximity Effect!
