The Used - The Canyon (October 27, 2017) Album • Page 38

On My Own is so strange without Quinn.

 

Damn... I broke down in tears just reading that. Cuts deep. It's so relatable. In fact, I relate to it so hard I'm pretty sure I penned those in 7th grade

 

The lyrics on this album really resonate with me.

 

After 2 listens, I've concluded the first 6 songs range from mediocre to embarrassing, but the album really picks up for me with Pretty Pictures.

I like this. Feels good to have a Used album I don't hate.

 

I'm still a slacker and haven't had a chance to sit down and listen while reading along to the lyrics. Hopefully this weekend I'll have a chance. I know a lot of people tend to not like their lyrics, but they've always really just clicked with me so I'm hoping this album will be the same way.

 

Are there better deep tracks on this album? I browsed the first 5 or 6 tracks and was not blown away at all.

 

Rob*. Dang, I thought you were a true fan.

 

I do think he’s a good lyricist but nothing on this album really grabbed me like some of their other tracks in terms of lyrics.

The S/T still holds up well lyrically given the climate it was released in IE gross, mysogonistic, often vapid songwriting. Even ILAD holds up well. The others are a mixed bag

 

I think that (the misogyny) is another reason their S/T resonated so much with me. Most of the music I listened to growing up was made by a bunch of men. They were the bands my friends were recommending (mostly male friends) and the bands getting the most exposure. And when I listened to bands fronted by women, a lot of times I would be teased by my male friends for liking them. It was a weird spot to be in bc I wanted to listen to what I liked, but I wanted to be accepted too and it made it hard. And when a lot of the male bands were writing about murdering their ex-girlfriends and calling women whores, it was hard for me to really relate to them. Yet I felt like I had to pretend I did bc otherwise I was being one of ~those~ girls. So having an album that wasn't talking about shit like that, that was seen as "cool" by my male friends, and was writing about things that I really, really related to....It was just the perfect album to enter my life.
Sorry for the long-winded tangent of a post. I get really sentimental and emotional over this damn band.

 

Umm. Big nope lol.

 

I really like the new album

 

I don't like the first two or last two. LFTL, Artwork, Vulnerable was a good run, and Shallow Believer was also an excellent collection.

 

I liked this album a bit more yesterday while listening on shuffle. Maybe some of the sequencing is the issue for me.

 

WHAT

 

Gave this a second listen and seems pretty back heavy. Needs more listens.

 

Gave the album a full listen this morning and it was... just boring and forgettable.

Also Bert rapping during “The Quiet War” is new levels of bad for this band.

Anyways, the last record of theirs I actually enjoyed was Vulnerable. That was a solid comeback only to dissolve again (IMO) with Imaginary Enemy.

 

I really enjoy the middle part through the end of the album.

 

Had a really great moment with this album on a drive last night. Loving it more and more.

 

It took you weeks to think up that bad of a response, eh?

 

Barely 7k.

 

If his achievements are bad, why are you on a website that he made?

 

This is hilarious but not for the reason you thought it would be

 

Even worse. He responded that same response a couple weeks ago, and then immediately deleted it after I read it and went to quote it. Why he chose to repost it now is beyond me

 

Because I get the album sales every week bucko.

 

Fake news!
