What Parents Need to Know

About Louder Now

Parents need to know that Taking Back Sunday's lyrics allude to emotionally heavy subject matter, but so obtusely that they are wide open to interpretation, and will go over many heads. Most parents will have very little patience with the pretentious attitude.

    Great....

    TBS is my second favorite band, and this album is what hooked me. Only the occaisional "damn", a few metaphors to sex "I just wanna brake you down so badly... Scissor shaped across the bed, you are red, violent red..." metaphors to violence, but nothing really obvious. 10+
