Data Insight

Every track credits music and lyrics to Taking Back Sunday, so the album that made the band's name gives away nothing about who wrote what. "MakeDamnSure" reached number 48 on the Hot 100 and "Liar (It Takes One to Know One)" number 21 on Alternative Songs, both under that one collective line.

Louder Now is the band's major label debut, released through Warner Bros. in April 2006. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 158,000 copies in its first week and carried "MakeDamnSure", the band's only Billboard Hot 100 entry.
