Uh oh, I can already feel some hostility.

OK, I loved the self-titled CD. That's what got me into the whole emo / screamo genre. Before that, I listened to nu-metal, and I apologize. So, yeah, The Used. Gotta represent my roots.

But holy shit. The new CD is the biggest piece of garbage. Ever.

I was desperately hoping they would go in a harder direction. I mean, anyone who listened to the hidden track and the track from the '03 warped compilation (Just a little, I think) knows that they had some pretty rockin stuff.

And then I heard the single. Take it away was pretty good. I was thinking "hey, maybe I can handle this."

So I got the CD. Oh my god. There were maybe 3 songs I could handle. The rest was Taking Back Sunday, Simple Plan, and big steaming piles of shit all rolled into one neat little package.

So, bring on the negative scene points from the teenyboppers, but that's how I feel.

Haha, i totally agree with you. I loved the self titled and thought take it away was alright... but In Love & Death was plain dull. Not a good move at all, i don't think.

I disagree...The new album is amazing. I get that they're supposed to be heavy like the last disk, but come on. The wrote some amazing songs for this album. I would've been mad if they made the same cd again.

Bleh. Damn work. It's too fucking early for message boards. I'm not quick enough.

I'll just assume you don't really like the Used, and that you didn't really give your Mars Volta CD away.

That's better...

Agreed. I listen to three songs tops. In fact, I wrote a pretty nasty review for my school magazines music section, cos I'm bad ass.

I wrote reviews when I was in school last year, but I got complaints because I never reviewed popular music.

"Hey, why don'tchu say sum'thin bout that new Chingy CD? What's with all this gothic shit?"
"Umm...Thursday isn't gothic"
"Shut up. ***."

Hahah, I love how kids think that all bands are 'gothic' or if you listen to them you are a 'goth'.

I skipped my first class today. 3 hours sleep isn't fun so I needed more. Plus some fuck woke me up at 6 for some reason. I just yelled in his face or something, I can't remember exactly what happened.

I totally agree with the first cd being a lot better, and wow, I noticed that a LOT of the songs did sound like other bands as well.. Some ppl didn't believe me, so I'm glad I know someone who noticed it too! But, I do have to say that I do like the cd, just not as much as the first one... I'm behind The Used all the way, so I hope they make another album. (and I really hope I don't get bad scene points fer this... I've been trying to be a good little girl ever since I saw how many negatives I have... bleh)

ok..the used is one of my favorite bands! their other album was awsome! this new one..i was a little sad that there wasnt as much screaming...it was a little more low key. But i still like it. I think the new album is good....but could have been better.

I never heard of the Used until my cousin pooped in their self titled cd into the car cd player and started singing to the words. I didn't really pay attention, but I kept a memo in my head to buy their cd. I bought it, and they blew me away.. but ya.. Does anyone else find them an inspiration to start a band? I just find it AWESOME that Bert started homeless then came THIS FAR.

i prefer the new albumn. it has less screaming; i prefering singing. it is catchy and poppy and pleasing to my ears. I do agree that they are on their way to becoming the next Good Charlotte. They basically understood that "Taste of Ink" was making them popular and bringing in cash, and decided to go that route instead of going a harder, more darking route.

It is true. well i don't know for sure about his parents kicking him out, but he ended up on the streets do too his fucked up drug addictions. He still does an insane amount of heavy drugs, but also claims that rehab helped him.. makes you wonder how bad it was before.

how the fuck can any of you say you hate the used? I have been in love with their lyrics and music since their first album came out. they're my fave band and they're amazing live. their lead singer is fucking awesome, not to mention an amazing song writer. i just dont understand how you can say shit like that. the used is what real music is all about. if you hate them, i dont even wanna know wtf you ***s listen to. :headshake
