This interview Bert implies more of a Lies for the Liars comparison with some interesting thoughts on The Canyon. The Future Of The Used: "We Recorded 26 Or 27 Songs That We Love" — Kerrang!
Man if they really focus on the melody and songwriting/making an eclectic mix like with LFTL then I am really really stoked. Lies for the Liars was a really important album for me, love it so much.
lftl will endlessly confuse me based on how good all of the songs cut from it are, yet the album proper is such a tonally inconsistent mess. ive warmed up to it a lot overtime but its still got some really questionable choices on it especially considering all 8 songs they cut are better than most everything on the album not a fan of the new song at all verses are a disaster and the chorus is the same "trying too hard to be poppy without actually being a decent melody) that vulnerable/imaginary enemy suffered from. really dreading the new one now
My gummy bear house melted last week, I've been busy looking for new living conditions and not concerning myself with what the greatest rock band in history is up to
19th year?? Totally agree! Listening to it yet again just last night. Really helps with my workouts, especially when I don't wanna do em. :)
Listening to Blow Me for the first time atm. It's not bad! But It's a shame that The Canyon was so hated. To me it was their first good album since Lies For the Liars. The production could've been better though. Edit: Scratch that! I'm listening to The Canyon again for the first time in a year and I don't mind the production at all. Love this album.
The Canyon is great and so is Blow Me idgaf. Their set list this tour looks really awesome so far, some nice deep cuts in there.
