There aren't any sudden breakout parts like the end of "Timberwolves at New Jersey, " and aside from the aforementioned songs, nothing of interest guitar, bass, or drum-wise. The re-done bridge and the slight production really put this song into the "Would be fun as hell to see live" category. Set Phasers to Stun. Taking their often-compared counterparts in Brand New under consideration, Taking Back Sunday simply hasn't grown. Then there was Fred Mascherino, who was a member of the band for Where You Want To Be and Louder Now. When there was talk that the band was returning to their 'roots, ' it seemed encouraging.

The album name rather obviously refers to the fact that Taking Back Sunday have suffered yet another guitarist/backup vocalist change, their third in four albums.

Lazzara's vocal performance is his best since Tell All Your Friends, and the pacing of the song is utterly fantastic. There is a disconnection between the vocals and the music that makes the album hard to listen to. Site is back up running again. Taking Back Sunday have always felt like a "summer" band, making music to be blared from car speakers while speeding down a highway, but they've never felt like more of a summer band than they do on New Again. "Lonely, Lonely" continues the string of strong songs, and it sees New Again falling into one of Louder Now's pitfalls - top-heaviness. Cue a dramatic Livejournal-traumatizing split with guitarist and backing vocalist John Nolan and bassist Shaun Cooper, the release of the incredibly underwhelming Where You Want to Be, and fast-forward to the "louder" Taking Back Sunday, debuting on Warner Bros.

Better Homes and Gardens. A Decade Under the Influence. You had your chance. The good news is that with the re-recorded "Error Operator, " the band has finally delivered a song that can match the bar set with their classics like "Cute Without the 'E'" and "Ghost Man on Third. "
Don't get me wrong - their music is honestly timeless - but Lazzara's insistence that he's "ready to feel new again" on the title track gains more meaning in the summer, where life is made up of fleeting fancies and opportunities, where we move from one day to the next, always searching for something different than the day before but only finding that everything is the that's just fine. Part of what made the production on Tell All Your Friends was the constant assault of two guitars, two vocalists, amazing drums and usually changing-up bass-lines.
