The Taking is the third studio album by 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, as well as Loaded, by filmmaker and documentarian Jamie Burton Chamberlin has been filmed, with the album serving as the film's soundtrack.
