Their fifth studio album, ''[[Language. Sex. Violence. Other?]]'' was released in March 2005. It marked their first recording with new drummer Javier Weyler. The band achieved their first number one hit in the UK singles charts with the album's first single, "[[Dakota (song)|Dakota]]". The second single from the album was "Superman". However, that song did not repeat the success of "Dakota", peaking at number thirteen. After "Superman" came "Devil", featuring a controversial video and reaching number eleven in the charts. The album was expected to win the [[The Pop Factory|Pop Factory award]] at the end of the year for Best Welsh Album, but were not even nominated. [[Feeder (band)|Feeder]]'s ''[[Pushing the Senses]]'' would win the award.

On 2 July 2005, the group appeared at the [[Live 8]] concert in [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]], London, playing to their biggest audience yet. The band were also scheduled to support [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]] for a number of dates across Europe, in early 2006, but pulled out due to family commitments. 2006 also saw the release of Stereophonics' first live album, ''[[Live from Dakota]]''. The album is a two-disc compilation, featuring twenty tracks spanning all five of the band's albums and capturing the best of their 2005 world tour. Rather than being a recording of a single show, the tour was recorded every night and the band picked out the best version of each song individually. The album also features a track titled "Jayne", later released as part of Kelly Jones' solo album, ''[[Only the Names Have Been Changed]]''.

''[[Pull the Pin]]'' was released in the UK on 15 October 2007, along with a download-only taster; "[[Bank Holiday Monday (song)|Bank Holiday Monday]]". The track was also available for free to people who pre-ordered tickets for the band's concerts in 2007. The album was written and recorded by November 2006 but held back for release until late 2007.<ref>[http://www.stv.tv/content/out/music/videointerviews/display.html?id=opencms:/out/music/video_interviews/stv__Music__Stereophonics_video_interv_20071129 Stereophonics: Friends in the North] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080101090636/http://www.stv.tv/content/out/music/videointerviews/display.html?id=opencms%3A%2Fout%2Fmusic%2Fvideo_interviews%2Fstv__Music__Stereophonics_video_interv_20071129 |date=1 January 2008 }} video interview with stv.tv</ref> "[[It Means Nothing (song)|It Means Nothing]]" was the first single of the album, released in September before the LP was released a week later on 15 October. The album contains twelve songs and reached number one in the UK's official album chart. The next single, "My Friends", reached number thirty-two in the UK charts, their poorest chart performance since "More Life in a Tramps Vest" from their debut album.

On 20 May 2007, at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Preston, the band were joined on stage by [[Casino (band)|Casino]] frontman Adam Zindani. Zindani continued to tour with the band for the remainder of the ''Pull the Pin'' tour, playing lead guitar and backing vocals. He has been credited for writing and performing on two of the band's new tracks, "You're My Star" and "My Own Worst Enemy". On "You're My Star", he sings backing vocals and plays lead guitar, whereas on "My Own Worst Enemy" he only plays lead guitar. In November 2008, Stereophonics released their first greatest hits compilation, ''[[Decade in the Sun: Best of Stereophonics|Decade in the Sun]]''.
