‘Twenty’ is a career-to-date retrospectve, celebratng 20 years of Taking Back Sunday. The collecton spans each of their studio albums; ‘Tell All Your Friends’, ‘Where You Want To Be’, ‘Louder Now’, ‘New Again’, ‘Taking Back Sunday’, ‘Happiness Is’ and ‘Tidal Wave’, plus two new songs.
Whether your introducton to the band was singing along to “A Decade Under The Infuence” in a sweaty club or hearing “MakeDamnSure” on the radio, ‘Twenty’ is a look back at some of the highlights from the genre-defying band. The set also features two new songs, which hint at the directon that Taking Back Sunday are heading in the coming years.
Although the pride of Long Island have had a handful of member changes over the years, the current lineup of the band – vocalist Adam Lazzara, guitarist John Nolan, drummer Mark O’Connell and bassist Shaun Cooper – have all been there since the beginning.
From the band’s landmark 2002 debut ‘Tell All Your Friends’ to their most recent full-length, 2016’s ‘Tidal Wave’, Taking Back Sunday have evolved from a key player in the early 2000s emo scene to a genre-defying rock band who have three gold albums without ever ceasing to push the limitatons of their sound. This fact is evidenced on ‘Twenty’.
