Where You Want to Be

Where You Want to Be is the second studio album by American rock band Taking Back Sunday, released July 27, 2004 by Victory Records. The title comes from a line in the opening track, "Set Phasers to Stun." Dismissive of several early songs, they wanted to "grow musically with this [new album]." In March 2004 recording of the album began, with Lou Giordano as producer. The band recorded at Mission Sound in Brooklyn, New York for two weeks before moving to Water Music in Hoboken, New Jersey, finishing recording by April. While touring to promote Tell All Your Friends (2002), guitarist John Nolan and bassist Shaun Cooper left the group and were replaced by Fred Mascherino and Matt Rubano, respectively.
