Data Insight

The album prints no writer on any track. The Discogs release credits the music and lyrics to Taking Back Sunday as a whole, with additional lyrics from Neil Rubenstein and Nick Torres, so the eleven tracks here carry the band credit rather than any name. "A Decade Under the Influence" is the song from it that charted, reaching number 16 on Billboard's Alternative Songs.

Where You Want to Be arrived on Victory in July 2004 with John Nolan and Shaun Cooper gone and Fred Mascherino and Matt Rubano in their places. It reached number three on the Billboard 200 and made Taking Back Sunday the first Victory Records band with a gold album.
