The Taking (album)

The Taking is the third and final album by the American rock band Loaded. It was produced by Terry Date in Seattle, Washington, and was released on April 19, 2011, through Eagle Rock Entertainment. Writing for the album began in 2009, while the band was touring in support of Sick. It was the first Loaded release since Episode 1999: Live, without drummer Geoff Reading, who, after departing the band, was replaced by Isaac Carpenter in September 2009.

A feature-length film about the album and the band was released by filmmaker and documentarian Jamie Burton Chamberlin. Titled Duff McKagan's Loaded: The Taking, the film was edited into twelve music videos and released in episodes on YouTube.
