Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
If you want the two word review, it's right there in the title: Louder Now, the third album from New York's Taking Back Sunday, is heavier, ballsier and all round bigger than its predecessors, like the soggy-hanky emo of 2004's Where You Want To Be took some lessons from Charles Atlas and came back to kick sand in everyone's face. In part, this is down to the visceral production of Eric Valentine, last seen working the desk for Queens Of The Stone Age. But the band have hardened up, too: 'Liar (It Takes One To Know One' builds from a tricksy, ska-tinged verse to a seismic chorus, frontman Adam Lazzara and guitarist Fred Mascherino sparring manfully atop a roar of rock guitars, while 'Make Damn Sure' is perhaps the album's stand-out, a canyon-sized chorus that renders emo passion with stadium scope. The irony here, perhaps, is that in toughening up their sound, Taking Back Sunday have actually made a more straightforward "rock" record than anything came before. Later in the album, though, there's a few moments where TBS ease off the gas, with interesting results: see 'Divine Intervention', a spare, introspective acoustic track with distant percussion and subtle, strange tape effects. Meanwhile, a limited reissue adds a 90 minute DVD and four live tracks. –-Louis Pattison

- I return to this album time after time
Although I have long outgrown this band and my interest in this type of music, I still find Louder Now one of those albums that I unwillingly return to time after time, one fo the few albums that still give me the buzz when I listen to it, one of those that I can truly lose myself in. Emo may be under a lot of hate and negative critiscism, but theres something about it, a certain magic to it that I've failed to find in any other style of music. TBS aren't the greatest band in the world - nowhere close, yet this is an undeniably good album that I will continue to listen to in years to come. Stand out tracks include Liar and Make Damn Sure, so have a listen to these two before buying the album.

- Excellent listen. Excellent buy.
I never quite understood why this album was voted Album of the year by Kerrang!...until I got the album for my birthday. I was very pleasantly surprised, and listen to the Cd all the time cause its a great album, which definately showcases the talent this band has. It may not have fully deserved album of the year, but it is definately worth buying. Particular favourite tracks of mine are What's it feel like to be a ghost, Miami, Spin and I'll Let you live.

Rating:

- An average album from an average band
A typical, average modern rock album that's emo style, catchy sound represents exactly where 21st century rock is heading. Not quite my genre, but for fans of Panic! at the disco and AFI, this is the album for you.

Rating:

- Good
This is quite a good rock album, with great guitar, good drumming and very good vocals. Although all the album is good, i fail to find any of it that is truly outstanding, which most people seem to. Taking Back Sunday aren't really my type of Metal band, i prefer heavier stuff and although this is listenable i do get a bit tired of it after a few songs.
If you like the softer kind of metal, then this will be absoloutely great for you, but the heavier stuff? Then i would stay away.

- "Louder Now" indeed louder!
I bought this record the day it came out and i can honestly say i have pretty much listened to it everyday since (nearly a year now). It has very catchy hooks and you wont ever get sick of it! This is a big step up from their previous records, being lyrically and musically more mature. Key tracks i think are; "Whats it feel like to be a ghost", "Makedamnsure", "Miami", "Spin", "Error:Operator". Listen to these tracks first or download them if u want a taster, you wont be disapointed im sure!!!!
