I'm going to let you in on a little secret- Somewhere around the time of 2009's New Again, after most of their original fanbase (and original members) had moved on to other things, Taking Back Sunday became a FANTASTIC pop-rock band. Even when the group's "classic" Tell All Your Friends lineup reunited for their 2011 self-titled album, the group stayed the chorus they had begun on their previous record and made a mature, challenging and tuneful rock album, containing some of their most...

You can describe the Taking Back Sunday fandom by imagining a simple Venn diagram: one circle contains fans who only enjoy the Tell All Your Friends outfit, the other full of fans that prefer the band's major label records (Louder Now and New Again). And then there's the small intersection of fans who prefer a little bit of everything from Taking Back Sunday's vast discography. You can see why the majority of TBS news threads are littered with hundreds of differing opinions...

Taking Back Sunday's new full-length studio album, Happiness Is, represents something of a comeback for the post-hardcore heavyweights. It is their first independent release in over a decade, and the third album featuring the original lineup. But fans expecting a return to the classic TBS angst may be disappointed.
The single Flicker, Fade is the kind of guitar-heavy anthem you would expect from a TBS album...

Taking Back Sunday have kind of meandered in and out of the spotlight in recent years, losing relevance pretty quickly after the emo boom of 2006 faded. They're back this year with a new release, Happiness Is, and some old members - John Nolan their original guitarist and bassist Shaun Cooper, who have actually been back since the last self-titled album - and a sound that's refreshingly, deliciously similar. I love Taking Back Sunday. I always have, ever since Tell All Your Friends...

When John Nolan and Shaun Cooper rejoined Taking Back Sunday in 2010 after spending several years together in Straylight Run, most of us thought this would be a return to the rough around the edges vocal yowling and hook heavy turn of the century emo-pop of 2001's . Well, we were wrong. Instead, the duo brought Straylight Run's softer brand of melodic pop into Taking Back Sunday's continued evolution towards more mainstream alternative rock...
