The Used

A jagged, abrasive pivot toward noise-rock and 'gross-pop.' Gone is the radio sheen, replaced by feedback, heavy thuds, and unfiltered vocal desperation.

It's the one where they stopped trying to be pretty and started trying to be loud.

A gritty, confrontational purge that finds beauty in the abrasive and the unpolished.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring, dissonant guitar scratch that opens Blood on My Hands, signaling a departure from their previous melodic sheen.
The claustrophobic, repetitive bass groove in Men Are All the Same that builds into a sprawling, messy six-minute finale.
Bert McCracken's voice cracking under the pressure of the high notes in Empty With You, kept in the mix for maximum vulnerability.
