Taking Back Sunday – New Again
Their ability to combine passionate feeling with bristling instrumental delivery has seen this Adam Lazarra fronted, rhythm stamping troupe, Taking Back Sunday survive the Emo craze. With the boisterous single ‘New Again’, they show off a garage kick that keeps them fresh and feeling packed. Feeling felt dual vocals provoke, entice and expose the vulnerability of the feral mind.
Fuzzy percussion jabs provide for chilling interludes to a soaring pop/rock pushed revealing of a determination to forget the past, as you sense that the band are determined to take control of their own destiny. Taking Back Sunday continues to offer universal appeal and what they lack for in cutting edge, they make up for in feeling and punchy impact.
Taking Back Sunday – New Again
Taking Back Sunday are back with their fourth studio release, “New Again.” TBS frontman Adam Lazzara has said that the album name comes from the band’s constant reinvention and changing members, including new guitarist Matthew Fazzi. The title fits the album’s sound perfectly, as it is more focused than Taking Back Sunday’s previous albums and showcases their growth as a band. The band’s gradual progression on each album throughout the past seven years is clear and “New Again” is a continuation of that evolution. This album is heavier and less (for lack of a better word) whiny than the first three albums. However, Taking Back Sunday fans will surely not be disappointed, as the lyrics are more personal than ever and each song still maintains the band’s signature catchy melodies. The album’s first single “Sink Into Me” is sure to have you singing along after the first listen. Don’t be surprised to find “New Again” blasting in your car all summer long.
