The Used - The Canyon (October 27, 2017) Album • Page 33

I actually think Over and Over Again is my least favorite on the album, haha. It does break up the darkness a bit though, which is nice.

 

no idea where this came from but ok? doesnt seem like youre being a dick to me! just find it odd that now, all of a sudden, this is an issue and passive aggressive comments have to be made about it over a FUCKING NEW USED ALBUM of all things. its totally possible to have several different conversations or "tones" in a thread without it getting all weird and hostile. its not even like im mad or upset or anything, its just funny that this is the thread where this is an issue when this kind of stuff happens in so many other threads and no one bats an eye.

 

I'll probably cut this down to one disc honestly. I've only ever done that with California deluxe before, this is kind of long. I would drop For You (respect the sentiment but just not crazy about it) and Pretty Picture sounds TERRIBLE with the production. Like I have to skip it

 

it feels like its in a super weird spot though, right? maybe thats just me. it kinda feels like it should be earlier in the tracklist, maybe even the second song, and it just feels really odd at track 12.

 

You're right it isn't that deep, I was even saying in my OP that it isn't THAT big of a deal just something I wanted to mention. Don't think it's that hard to understand the concept of a feedback loop/echo chamber effect though, like when the majority of posts are basically mocking the concept of liking the album, people might be discouraged from expressing that because they might be made fun of themselves as @slimfenix182 said. I do get it though because I make fun of music that's more "acceptable" to shit on a lot, so eh... Carry on.

 

Yeah I can *kind of* see that maybe they wanted it to be in a spot where like @clockwise said it would provide a lighter moment amidst the second half of the album but... it kind of feels out of nowhere tbh

 

Yeah it's way too late in the album

 

I'd be interested in seeing your condensed tracklist whenever you put it together

I sort of feel the same way, yeah. I think it's the outlier of the album, actually. Totally different lyrically, tonally, etc.

 

At what point do the discs split? I am so used to digital by now. I could probably cut this to 10-12 songs.

The political songs feel out of place. I think he really should have focused more on the concept of his friend and the canyon.

 

so me and like 2 other people have made an "echo chamber" by joking about this album? what the fuck lol. no one has made fun of anyone for liking this album except for the person who said they listened to this album in fucking alphabetical order of all things lol. like, why make a mountain out of a mole hill? it really just seems like you wanted to take a little jab at me for no reason lmao.

 

like a single is usually track 2 or 3 and it feels like it would make more sense somewhere around there yknow? but all of a sudden this like Michael Jackson worship pop song drops on you at track 12 and it feels so weird

 

whoa whoa whoa we cant have multiple conversations in here cmon now quit shitposting please

 

I mean someone was like "wait people unironically like this album?" or whatever it was, I hate when people feel the need to try to make others inferior to them

But whatever, discussion has occurred so I'm good lol

 

It really wasn't about any one poster at all lol but if you say so... just noticed that the majority of the thread was posts like that and just thought I'd mention it.

 

Yeah honestly I'd start the album with it and then go from there

 

"majority"

cool, take issue with them lol.

 

The majority of the pages since after the initial leak discussion have absolutely been what I described.

We... did? Don't know why you still think you were being specifically called out.

 

the used could probably write a pretty rad concept album if they wanted to. like MCR levels of theatrics. doesnt seem like thats ever gonna happen tho

 

When I get around to it I'll post it for sure. I'll mess around with a playlist in spotify this week haha

 

I 100% think if this album had a totally different production job, the execution of the concept would be appreciated a lot more, because I think they did a pretty good job already with it and a lot of this felt quite "theatrical" to me, but more in a proggy post-hardcore sense than in a similarity to anything MCR would do.

 

plenty of people have been discussing this album after it leaked alex. plus, who cares? discuss it if you want while the rest of us joke around lol. this isnt the first thread to have that happen.

dont think you were saying me specifically but now the irony is im trying to discuss this album with yall and youre literally just quoting me to keep this dumb argument going

 

Anyway I'm just gonna drop my issue with the thread since I didn't mean for it to turn into this big thing, my OP probably made it seem like it was bothering me more than it was I just made it long so I could state my point fully. I recognize the need for differing views, etc. etc.

 

All true. Didn't mean for it to become such a big issue, carry on.

 

Jeph has some great bass playing on this album. And at least that's the least buried aspect of the instruments haha

 

Okay after my shit posts I gave this album a chance

It's really fuckin bad
