From the high-octane drumming and blazing syncopated riffs that rain down on “What’s It Feel Like to Be a Ghost”—the opening track on Taking Back Sunday’s latest CD Louder Now—it’s clear that the album’s title couldn’t be more fitting. Faster, darker and harder than its 2004 predecessor, the best-selling Where You Want To Be – Louder Now is the album that bottles the lightning that this powerful, melodic hardcore band generates whenever they hit the stage.
“It’s the record we have always wanted to make,” declares lead singer Adam Lazzara. “We brought in every element from every influence we’ve ever had. It completes the spectrum.”
