You Gotta Go There to Come Back is Stereophonics' fourth album, released on V2 in 2003. It became their third consecutive album to top the UK chart selling 101,946 copies in its first week. It was the final Stereophonics album with long-time original drummer the late Stuart Cable.
The album shows a newly found maturity compared to the brazenness of the previous three.The album is also darker and slightly more bleak than the band's previous albums, certain songs and lyrics reflect the personal problems and feelings of the bands frontman Kelly Jones. After this mature album they returned to the sound of their previous albums with their next album. The title can also be explained by this statement: they had to go here, and record this album, to come back and return to their more indie rock and alternative rock sound.
