''Louder Now'' was released on April 25, 2006 through [[Warner Bros. Records]].<ref name=MTV800/> The members' comments on the album reflected the dramatic change the band had undergone in the two years since their last release. Matt Rubano noted that the move to a major label was not something the band took lightly, but it was a move that made sense given the band's tumultuous past.<ref>{{Cite news|title = With major-label status, it's no longer a daily struggle for Taking Back Sunday: [Third Edition]|last = Johnson|first = Kevin|date = 1 March 2007|work = St. Louis Post - Dispatch}}</ref>
