[Galedeep]

...that's just unimpressive. still, it's only a title.

[The Silencer]

what the clever?

[Kgod]

Sighs*....

Its a good title. It could be better.

[truthbetoldxx]

I was hoping for; A Collection Of Nursery Rhymes by The Used

[Hainzey X]

alot of news about the used. this is refreshing since they were basically idle for a year and a half before the announcment of their headlining TOC. good to have them back.

hahaha

[danielineffigy]

I don't even care about this band anymore.

"Liar, Liar, pants on fire".

[New York Slave]

stupid

[jdgtrplyr]

Probably came up with it right before they blogged it.

[Rodeo]

Wow... failed attempt at being witty.

[Mediocrity]

What an exceptionally emo title

[oldskool]

the first album (forget the name) with box of sharp objects and taste of ink, is the best album. I Still listen to it!!!

[Tay.]

Lame.

Saddest attempt at trying to be clever

[truthbetoldxx]

Kinda like they took a stab at something like Good News For People Who Love Bad News and failed miserably.

[diehtc0ke]

That's too blatantly bad to be an attempt at cleverness.

[ship of fools]

NO. ITS AN AWFUL TITLE.

thats insinuating that the song liar liar is a good enough song to make it indirectly a title for the album, which its clearly not with the line "liar liar pants on fire". how pathedic. ive been waiting for this album for forever too, i smell a major dissapointment.

[abusedcat]

Both posts on the Used today are just laughable.

[Risk The Fall]

Horrible title. Someone said it above, it sounds like a joke emo album name. Why don't they just call it Love Tragedy Broken Lies Death Black Tears Lies so they can just hit all the emo cliches at once? That said, I still like The Used a lot.

[ramstar]

wait what happened to Berth?

wait wait nevermind, I was thinking of this:

[azrielen]

They are admittedly bad at naming things. They've said it themselves. I mean...their first single is called The Worm. AHAHA. I'll still be picking it up the second it's out.

[gonz]

I sincerely hope the rest of the CD is better than the Liar song

[Shatter_Glass]

GIASFBS. I didn't forget anything either....

[ror.]

liar liar pants on fire

[eversoinviting]

eh it's ok

[xerovision1]

lol @ the responses to this

[Dr. Acula]

Ahhhh, it'd be funny if this album drops (yea I said, drops) and its mind blowingly good. we shall see. I havent heard the liar liar, pants on fire song tho so im still optimistic.

[hollyxxx]

Oh man. I love this band, but that title blows. I wish they were lying.

[RandomHero1230]

swingandamiss.

[shadowofmyself]

the first album (forget the name) with box of sharp objects and taste of ink, is the best album. I Still listen to it!!!

Wasn't that album self-titled?

[timgionet]

i was not impressed at taste of chaos when i heard their song lyrics "liar liar, pants on fire" not even used in a creative way...

[DangerousDarrin]

the first album (forget the name) with box of sharp objects and taste of ink, is the best album. I Still listen to it!!!

It was self titled.

[simon1987]

the little part of handsome awkward i heard sounded okay. liar liar just blows. i smell another ILAD coming our way

[Nolessthanblink]

What's with this band and the "lies" theme that seems to be underlying in everything new so far?

[HiddenInNJ]

In Love and Death was not good so I hope this goes towards the Self titled album which was ridiculously good

[blackskies]

I hope this band doesn't go from bad to worse

Imagine this album being even worse than In Love And Death.

I like the band though, I want to see if this album's any good.

[seans seatbelt]

horrible album title

[Drew Beringer]

Who cares about the album title.

[invincibleXL]

lol at people hating. the used do it best when it comes to this genre. people used to praise them, and suddenly hate them when they appear to have another side to their music, which is stupid. their last album was good because they embraced their talent. the new album should do the same.

[falloutboy.]

ill patiently wait till i hear another song to win me over.

[S9Dallasoz]

They played 6 new songs tonight in Sacramento...Some sounded real good, some others, damn emo.
"Liar, Liar"
"Paralyzed" (Funky)
"Earthquake" (bleh)
"Find a Way" (EMO)
"Pretty, Handsome, Awkward" (Fun)
&
"Hospital" (Catchy as hell)

The last 2 being the best of the new ones.

[Beloved Broken]

Who cares about the album title.

Truth. And it's not even a bad title. Why the f*ck do you all think they're trying to sound smart with the title? And what is so bad with trying to have an underlying theme in a record (e.g. lies)?

[leary0315]

Haha i love when people freak out over album titles on this website. I remember when we found out that Brand New's record would be call TDAGARIM instead of Fight Off Your Demons, man some kids got pretty pissed. But in the end its just and album title and the other thing that matters is the content of the album. That being said, this album probably wont live up to their first or second record.

Fixed it
And what do you mean, EMO?

[Ms Smurf]

I want to hear this, I still kind of like The Used in a retro "this is so three years ago" way. There self titled was great at the time.

[music_freek_12]

aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeesome

[S9Dallasoz]

Fixed it
And what do you mean, EMO?
The Chrous to that song is: "One, More Time To Say, 'I Love You Always'" over & over...
Or you could just call it a "Love Song", but i found it very emo(tional).

"Liar, Liar, PANTS ON FIRE!"

[Cousin (shh)it.]

i am going to laugh and love it when they come out with this album and it blows everyone away. which could possibly happen... or it could suck miserably.

[radxbandit]

jesus its just a title why does it have to blow your mind, they can call it whatever they want and maybe just maybe it has something to do with a theme in their new record.

[radxbandit]

lol at people hating. the used do it best when it comes to this genre. people used to praise them, and suddenly hate them when they appear to have another side to their music, which is stupid. their last album was good because they embraced their talent. the new album should do the same.

i agree, smart comment.

[bradyreier]

excited.

[makeoutmaster]

im sure it took ALOT of thought for this CRAZY title!

[kevinrocks409]

I was hoping for; A Collection Of Nursery Rhymes by The Used
haha...

lies for the liars is a VERY weak title.
You cant judge a CD by the cover and i hope this becomes true.

[kitchentable]

it's a fucking album title.....

[The Apollo Kid]

haha! its so funny the kind of response to something as trivial as an album title. i mean the used's self titled album is most likely gonna be their best ever work in many peoples eyes but if their first album was to come out just now we would have ppl saying 'wow that titles original, wheres the effort into the album title?' 'this album is gonna be so half assed!' 'theyve like so sold out' 'its gonna blowwwwww' so i dont think they could win whatever they came up with. the used are just an easy band to hate i guess...but yeah personally i love them to death. im 'pumped up' for this album...lifting weights with my ear lobes...*shrugs* never understood that term

[katot0n1c]

lol, wow. People were probably listening to the Used in the background whilst trashing the entire YET TO BE RELEASED album based on a crappy recording of ONE live song and the title of the album. Their first album went platinum, their second is on the verge of platinum and all of a sudden they suck? LMAO.

This is what I hate about the whole genre, once a group has established themselves as a heavyweight in the industry they start to "lose" (I use quotes here because this album will probably go platinum too) their fan base. So who is buying all their albums? You're only cool if your uncool, it's a un-popularity contest that rivals a popularity contest of rich high school blonde athletes only the outcome is even more predictable.

Liar Liar does indeed remind me of Taking Back Sunday's song, that's a legitimate criticism and I have no idea if the album will be up to par, so I don't have the answers but neither does anybody else. Based upon past success I would imagine it will do well but we won't know until it comes out. The song is probably a single they wrote for crowd control or airplay and that's about it, though I doubt it will get airplay because of the screaming and cussing. If someone wants to trash this song go ahead, but try not echoing every other post on here and throw in more than a pharse or a single sentence and try to substantiate your speculation with something other than idle conjecture.

[ZeoVGM]

Holy shit, there are a lot of fucking idiots in this thread.

It's an album title. The Used is terrific. It's a fairly lame album title, but IT'S A FUCKING ALBUM TITLE.

And btw, while the first album was better, In Love and Death was great. Why the hate?

[Amplifried]

Listen, they had one stand-out debut album and decided to go and suck. It happens, let's move on.

[poetic tears]

i'll still love them know matter what....
