A 20th anniversary edition of Taking Back Sunday‘s third studio album “Louder Now” will be arriving on October 16th via Craft Recordings. Release originally in April of 2006, that effort went gold in June of that year. It has newly been expanded with the addition of the two b-side tracks “Brooklyn (If You See Something, Say Something)” and “Sleep” for this reissue.
Those two tracks will be included on a bonus 7″ with the vinyl edition, and will also appear on the deluxe CD format. Numerous vinyl colorways of this album have been made available, with a press release spelling out the variants available as follows:
Taking Back Sunday Store (Ultra-clear with Glitter + exclusive replica laminate)
Craft Recordings (“Burgundy Metallic”), independent retail (“Coke Bottle clear”)
Revolver/Alternative Press (“Amazonite Swirl”)
Zia Records/Seasick Records (“Umber Brown”)
A 1-LP pressing of the effort on oxblood vinyl will also be made available at select stores. Vocalist Adam Lazzara reflected on the album now in light of this anniversary, stating:
“Our record ‘Louder Now‘ represents a huge milestone for me and to know it has made an impact on so many other people’s lives as well is something I still struggle to get my head around. To have the opportunity to celebrate that record with both John Nolan and Fred Mascherino on stage together, along with Shaun Cooper, is incredible to me. The songs sound stronger than I can ever remember live and I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to share that with everyone.”
