The Used - Which Album?

[ghsNICK!]

I would have to go with ILAD.

[liveloud4life]

S/T by far. And I'm normally not like that about bands changing. The Used just kept going downhill. In Love and Death is still pretty good, but no go after that. S/T though is one of my all time favorite albums.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Self-titled is really the only plausible answer here, and I don't even care much for that album anymore.

[LastDeclaration]

The s/t is fucking perfect for a screamo album. I still go back to it from time to time. ILAD had some great songs, but half were mediocre too. LFTL sucks, haven't got around to listening to Artwork yet.

[Neo Cassady]

S/T is the only correct answer. I still spin that album occasionally, but would never dream of playing anything else of theirs (with the exception of "Sometimes I Just Go For It").

[flks511]

None, really, though I chose S/T because I liked Blue and Yellow when the album came out.

[Shin Akuma]

LFTL!!!! DO NOT quote me cause i REALLY dont GIVE A SHIT what u think!!!

[pennie]

ok.

[Tristan Needler]

The first was amazing. The rest aren't worth the time of day.

[flks511]

So you starting listening to them when you were 9/10?
I heard Blue and Yellow, Taste of Ink, etc. when I was younger. Then when I started getting into music I went back and listened to the Used and wasn't really impressed (but I remembered liking Blue and Yellow as a kid so I went with S/T).

Your avatar is amazingly funny.

[domotime2]

hahaha no one with a straight face really voted for artwork or lies for liars.

Self-Titled is top 10 favorite albums of all-time, so my answer is pretty damn obvious.

[LamarVannoy]

In Love And Death has always been my favourite. S/T is pretty good too.

[introduction]

eh.

[MilesToGo]

Self-titled.

Blue and Yellow, Taste of Ink, and On My Own. Obvious choice.

[Ron57]

Definitely In Love in Death. Amazingness. After that I'd probably say Self Titled.

[ChrisCanberg]

i voted for lies for the liars. idk i thought that album was completely awesome, but kinda lost it at the song "Liar Liar", next would be In Love and Death, then Artwork, then Self-titled. i know i'll get a lot of shit for that but hey, different strokes. but i do really like all 4 albums so thats what matters.

[WhoSaidThat?]

S/T is far and away their best, and my favorite. I also find ILAD and LFTL to be great as well. Artwork, while not as horrible as everyone I've seen claim, is certainly subpar.

[NateFoundGlory]

S/T > In Love and Death > Lies For the Liars > Artwork

Hey look, a downward spiral!

[Steeeve Perry]

In Love and Death came out and that was the first I'd heard of them... not all of us can get into punk when we are 9 like that other guy "did".
Therefore it is the only one I've paid much attention to. Tho for some godknowswhat reason I bought Lies for the Liars. That had a couple of passable songs. As an album? Not passable.

[VIVALAMATT]

Their S/T was great!

[vb415]

Self titled is my favorite. I hope they play songs from this album on their set list for Nov 11.

[AussieBoy]

although i loved S/T when it came out, was fully stroked on ILAD, so i picked that

read some Pommy mag my friend got when he went over there and it gave Artwork 9/10 and said maybe album of the year, and easily their best album yet, was a half decent/credible mag and had proper interview with artists and a really good interview with Paramore over their in-fighting

[AussieBoy]

not a proper album but Shallow Believer can rival it with LFTL and ArtW.

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

st.

[muttley]

S/T and In Love And Death.

[SpyKi]

S/T by far, such a great album.

[TwelveTribes230]

S/T was their best... but In love and death was pretty good and had one of their heaviest song on it "Sound Effects And Overdramatics" which I really like. I have listened to their newer stuff and just cannot get into it.

[fadedmemories]

Glad to see that S/T is winning by a landslide

[Poochemist]

s/t > ILAD > Artwork > LFTL

I think Artwork was a step up, and I liked it, although nowhere near as much as their self-titled.

[miketheauthor]

Self titled without a doubt.

pretty much sums it up for me.

unrelated: would saosin's translating the name be considered screamo, or is that more post-hardcore? i always considered that the perfect album for whatever genre it was.

[Kobrakai09]

I voted for Artwork because I feel it's massively underrated and wanted to give it some recognition in some way, but I'd have to go with Self-Titled.

[AussieBoy]

i could never differentiate screamo and post-hardcore anyway

[eags2]

self titled i do like earthquake off of liars

[zachff]

Definitely Self Titled, then In Love and Death. Their last 2 releases were very blah for me. Self Titled is one of the albums that defined my high school years

[joeag1985]

Self titled. Easily.

[joeag1985]

I echo (agreeingly type) those sentiments.

[drawndead]

selt titled definitely. i used to skate to this cd everyday

[phil19]

self titled. by a country mile.

[drawndead]

blue and yellow is my favorite used song but i do like 2 songs on love and death and a song or two on liars. but selt titled is the way to go :)

[Formatfun]

Lol I like how the numbers drop with each album. It's true in the quality of the albums, too.

[Clark]

S/T > In Love and Death > Lies For the Liars > Artwork

Hey look, a downward spiral!

Yep. The poll results are pretty much spot on. Although there really shouldn't be any votes for the last two albums.

If I was reviewing their albums for this site, I'd probably have the overall ratings something like:
The Used: 85-90%
In Love and Death: 75-80%
Lies for the Liars: 60%
Artwork: 40%

[blinkme]

Self titled was the best in my opinion. I lost interest in the band altogether after In Love and Death.

[x13looDx]

I like them all, artwork maybe the least but their all solid

[HometownHero]

This band makes me feel dirty.

[screamoutmyname]

anything other than self-titled = :thumbdwn:

[JGood4]

first album
