Where You Want to Be

Their sophomore album. As Alternative Press said, "Broken hearts and broken promises aren't just emo clichés here: The members of Taking Back Sunday wear their mistakes with pride and a hand-stitched patch of regret. Like a Diesel-jeans-clad-phoenix-rising from the ashes of near-ruin, TBS take everything you loved, or perhaps loathed, about 'Tell All Your Friends,' and punch it up to the nth degree -- the dual-guitar assaults, the ricochet drum beats, and the explosive choruses. But this time, something's different. The songs have spawned themes of brazen fuck-you cockiness for self-doubt; and, for a frontman who seemed born for the spotlight, Adam Lazzara appears to be having the most trouble dealing with his position as screamo's beloved Adonis... Taking Back Sunday have managed to create an album free from hype and unearthly expectations." For fans of Foo Fighters, Jawbreaker, and Jimmy Eats World.
