Where We Stand is the second old Yellowcard album that was released in 1999 (re-released in 2004 and 2005).

Ben Dobson (singer) and Todd Clary (guitarist) who left after this album had a lot to do with their sound of old. Dobson’s scruffy, rough-around-the-edges vocal approach gave this band some toughness that it’s sorely lacking in their current incarnation. It was released by Takeover Records, a label created by one of the band's guitarists, Ben Harper. It is currently out-of-print.
