Louder Now by Taking Back Sunday

Louder Now, Taking Back Sunday's third album and their first for Warner Bros., came out on April 25, 2006, and it's the Amityville, New York, band trading up to a bigger, beefier sound without losing its knife-fight intensity. They wrote 20 songs in a rented room in Manhattan, threw half of them out, and cut the rest with Eric Valentine at Barefoot Studios in Los Angeles, starting in September 2005 and wrapping up on New Year's Day.

Adam Lazzara and Fred Mascherino trade vocals over Eddie Reyes' guitars, Matthew Rubano's bass and Mark O'Connell's drums, and "MakeDamnSure" is the whole package: tight, anthemic and seething. "Liar (It Takes One to Know One)" kept the fire going. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, their breakthrough, and went gold within two months.
