According to lead singer Ronnie Atkins, Louder Than Ever serves as an "in between album" to tie in with the band's upcoming fifteenth studio album. Atkins has said the band "were curious to hear how some of the older songs would sound like with the band lineup we have today and in the hands of our current producer, Jacob Hansen." The band deliberately chose not to re-record songs from albums such as Future World (1987) and Jump the Gun (1990) as they are "sacred, both to ourselves as well as the fans".[2]
