Where You Want to Be, Taking Back Sunday's second album, came out on Victory on July 27, 2004, from an Amityville, New York band set on outgrowing its own early songs. The lineup had been shaken up: John Nolan and Shaun Cooper quit during the Tell All Your Friends tour, and Fred Mascherino and Matt Rubano stepped in on guitar and bass beside Adam Lazzara, Eddie Reyes and drummer Mark O'Connell. With Lou Giordano producing, they started in March 2004 at Mission Sound in Brooklyn, moved on to Water Music in Hoboken and wrapped by April.
They pulled the album's name out of the lyrics to the opening track, "Set Phasers to Stun". "A Decade Under the Influence" led the charge, and the band worked with Blink-182's Tom DeLonge on the video for "This Photograph Is Proof (I Know You Know)", shot in 48 hours. It sold 163,000 copies in week one, debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, the best showing any Victory album ever managed, and went gold by July 2005.
