The Used Band • Page 33

I’m here for the Artwork love. I absolutely love that album and think it’s as good as ILAD. Still think self titled is their best album, but ILAD and Artwork are both fantastic imo. I was kinda disappointed when lies came out so was really hoping their next one would be better but was trying to not get my hopes up. But Artwork just blew me away when it came out. It was exactly the direction I wanted them to go in and I still listen to it all the time.

 

My thoughts pretty much.

S/T set the bar maybe too high, but ILAD is still a classic. I wish Artwork was their true third album.

 

I love Vulnerable.

 

I love all three albums, but you are insane if you think they could be on the same albums together

 

Vulnerable
Artwork
Self-Titled
Lies for the Liars
Imaginary Enemy
In Love and Death
The Canyon

 

This is one of the most unusual rankings I’ve ever seen haha... I definitely disagree, but respect.

 

Haha, I realize Putting ILAD this low is a hot take. I like the songs, I just think it sounds awful. It sounds like they were playing drums using buckets.

 

Woah Vulnerable at number one.

I need to give Artwork another spin, I haven't listened to it fully in ages. I always forget it.

 

Yes. To me it has the best elements from the self-titled and the best from Artwork, so yeah. An underrated album for sure.

 

I'll give it a listen tomorrow again as I haven't spinned it since it came out. I'll report back my thoughts.

 

I love half of Vulnerable as much as I hate the other half of it. Don't think I've ranked albums before, couldn't be easier though

Self-titled
In Love And Death
Artwork
Vulnerable
The Canyon
Imaginary Enemy
Lies For The Liars

 

Self-Titled
In Love and Death
Artwork
Lies for the Liars

Imaginary Enemy
Vulnerable
The Canyon

 

I find it crazy Imaginary Enemy isn't last on these lists!

 

Self titled
ILAD = Artwork
Shallow Believer
Imaginary Enemy
The Canyon
Lies
Ocean of the Sky
Vulnerable

 

Ah how did I not include Shallow Believer

That'd be 3rd for me for sure

 

Man, these are all over the place lol

Self titled
In Love and Death
Artwork
Shallow Believer
Vulnerable
Ocean of the Sky
Lies for the Liars
The Canyon
Imaginary Enemy

 

Y’all are underrating The Canyon imo. Despite the bad production there’s some REALLY great and interesting songs on there.

Perhaps not Grammy Album of the Year-worthy, but alas...

 

I like the Canyon probably more than most, I just like their others more (except IE)

 

Ranking is easy:

Self titled

 

It would move up a spot for me if it had good production. I wish I could ignore it but it's probably one of the 5 worst sounding albums I ever owned I like a higher percentage of songs on it than I do Vulnerable but the listenability is def hurt for me

 

Re-recording self-titled without Branden, Quinn and Bert's dynamic voice he had then is an absolute no-go, never.

 

Here is the DEFINITIVE ranking

The Canyon
Self-titled
Lies For The Liars
Vulnerable
In Love and Death
Shallow Believer
Ocean of the Sky
Imaginary Enemy
Artwork

Pretty much just in order of how much they meant to me personally, but I truly love them all for different reasons.

 

The Canyon first and Artwork last???

If The Canyon had sounded better I could put it higher. There are however some really good songs on there, I just don't think the mixing gives them justice.

 

The Used - 9.5
In Love and Death - 8.5
Shallow Believer - 8
Lies For the Liars - 7.5
Artwork - 7
Vulnerable - 5
The Canyon - 4
Imaginary Enemy - 3

 

Men Are All the Same is low key one of their best songs.
