Taking Back Sunday New Again Warner Bros Records/ WEA International

The fourth album from Long Island’s quintet, New Again (which could either be a reference to Fred Mascherino’s departure or simply to emotional rejuvenation (a double-entendre perhaps), kicks off with the self titled track, an anthem for those of us seeking to start over. It’s followed by one of my personal favorites, and the album’s first single, “Sink Into Me.” New Again unleashes thirty-eight minutes of unabashed emotion with catchy hooks and clever “heart-on-sleeve” lyrics delivered with moxie.
Recommended tracks: “Sink into Me” “Cut Me Up Jenny” “Everything Must Go”
