The Used Band • Page 77

I was actually about to say something to that same tune

 

my thoughts exactly

 

get their asses jay

 

That's just how hideous these new covers are.

 

those are absolute eyesores lmao. ILAD in particular going from argably one of the most iconic artworks in the scene to that visual equivalent of word salad is rough rough stuff

 

Haha, even Jay isn't a fan.

 

I still don't get the point in these new covers.

 

Couldn’t agree more

 

Every single one is a downgrade. What a shame.

 

Which is kinda impressive since none of the originals are really that great

 

See, I think the S/T is pretty iconic at this point. Lies is definitely the weirdest/weakest of the three, but even then it represented something unique and bold.

 

Iconic, yes, but not realllly that great

 

Maybe they're setting the tone and they've re-recorded the albums too.

 

That would be a such a downgrade. Bert just doesn't sound like the old days.

 

I wish either of the first two albums were an option. Would love those on vinyl but those covers are just such a non starter

 

Not even surprised how ugly this is - look at the shit cover art for their last two records lol

This band is a joke these days and super try hard with their efforts to come off as edgy. I just laughed looking at the last record “MEDZ” tracklist.

“People are Vomit”
“Pain is My Therapy”

lol jfc

 

I mean, they've always kind of had that in them. "Found a box full of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing."

 

Sure but that’s less terrible and also more of the times when they were in their early 20s. Bert is 42 lol

 

The Toxic Positivity cover is great. Medz is horrific.

 

I've loved most of their artwork and edginess personally. Toxic Positivity has a sick cover, loved the album art for Heartwork recently, too. Which, on that note, Heartwork deserves more love. Easily their best effort in years and a possible top 3 for me.

 

I trace it truly back to "Liar Liar (Burn In Hell)"

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, stop your soul from catching
Fire, fire, God and maker
Liar, liar, pants on fire

I also have a theory Branden was the only one truly holding them back from total cringe.

 

I was on my mormon mission when Liars was released. During those two years you’re not allowed to listen to any music (or have a way to stay updated on news). A friend who’d keep me updated wrote me a letter saying “dude, the used released the worst song I’ve ever heard” and shared those lyrics.

still have never forgotten that. And he printed out all the lyrics to devil and god for me so I could pretend I could listen to it. That was fun.

 

At least they topped that song with Now That You're Dead

 

I still think Liar Liar is a banger.
