The Used was one of my favorite bands... until I saw them live. SotY shows on the other hand are a blast!
The 4 songs SOTY has released from Wolves>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Anything The Used has released since Bird and The Worm
Edit: looks like both albums are not eligible for this hear’s Grammys. That means this will be settled next year. I’m sure it will be a very close campaign.
The Canyon is worse, I was able to make it through a whole play-through of Imaginary Enemy. Where The canyon is entirely unlistenable to me.
The Canyon is much too long, but there are much better songs on it than Imaginary Enemy. The Canyon would be a mid-tier Used record is they just took the best 10 or so songs and made it a 40 minute record
Who's idea was it to open the record with 93 seconds of mostly inaudible talking, and why did they believe this to a good idea?
Step 1: Drive to The Grand Canyon Step 2: Throw "The Canyon" into "The Canyon" Step 3: Get some lunch your hungry now.
I'm not trying to be a defender of The Used...but here I go There are a few songs on Artwork that I think are better than The Bird and the Worm. Having said that, I haven't listened to their new album yet and I have a lot of things on my list of things to listen to before that, so it may never happen haha
I personally think that Artwork is a fantastic album and I may be alone, but I would place it as my number 1 used album. But it's still miles behind Black Swan and In The Wake
I still really enjoy this album. I also really like Imaginary Enemy. Vulnerable is def their worst album imo. I do think my love for Imaginary Enemy stems from how much I love Evolution and Force Without Violence. Damn do I love those songs.
The Bird and the Worm is a bad song. There's better songs on The Canyon and Imaginary Enemy and they both suck for the most part.
