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.

“We love our first two albums [Where You Want To Be and the 2002 debut Tell All Your Friends], but we were always told that our live show had more energy than the records,” says guitarist-vocalist Fred Mascherino. “Our intention with Louder Now was to capture that energy. Keeping that in mind the whole time we made our record, we got some really intense results.” “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.”

Louder Now’s intensity was propelled by producer Eric Valentine (Queens Of The Stone Age, Third Eye Blind) pushing Taking Back Sunday to be better at every turn. “Eric brings to the table the rare ability to take a band that’s been playing for years to an entirely higher level,” says Mascherino. “He is a master of his craft,” adds Lazzara. “He hears and sees things that are nearly impossible to notice being so close to the songs. He pushed us to edge of our abilities and then a little further.” The band members knew they wanted to musically exceed their previous tracks, which were filled with pop-tinged hardcore anthems. “It was important to us when recording Louder Now that we give fans a full listening experience.” Mascherino says. “One of the ways we tried to accomplish that was to experiment with new and different sounds for songs.”
