I know this band isn't Christian Rock. But does anyone here like them!?! I just got their new CD "In Love And Death" and I'm really attached to it...You can't seperate me and it. haha....as a matter of fact I'm listening to it right now. My favorite songs by them are (well all of them, but these are a few of my FAVORITES),
1. Take it Away
2. All THat I've Got
3.Yesterday's Feelings
4.Light With a Sharpened Edge
5.Sound Effects and Overdramatics
6.Hard to Say
those are really good songs.

I think this song would most likely be a song you guys would like:
Light With A Sharpened Edge"

Free from the torment of sin
All this I'm giving up
Much as the sun would decide to give in
Explode into orange
And hear all the voices sing praises with hymns
Mark the birth of a change
Free from the torment of sin
All this I'm giving up

It's not me
Buried wreckage my soul
It's not me so who am I now

Over and over again
Light with a sharpened edge
Cut through the black empty space we call sky
Beginning the cycle that stays
And I know in my heart we all die
Like the day and the night
Like the sun in the sky
All this I'm giving up

It's not me
Buried wreckage my soul
It's not me so who am I now?

Is there another side?
Beyond the black and the white
Place I could meet you by
A place on the other side
I'll let you know when I go
When I'm gone

It's not me
Buried wreckage my soul
It's not me so who am I now?

-- anyway...I have all of their lyrics if anyone wants to read them.

Bert McCrackhead is crazy. But I really like this cd and his vocals. I actually bought it for my brother (who's twelve). I'm not sure if that was a good move or not...

(Bert's real last name is McCracken, just incase anyone was offended or something)

yeah, I like some of it, it was really different at first, but some of it is just too power pop... my brother got the edited version, so it's all good.

man...that cd is SO amazing...hmm...my favorites would have to be:

let it bleed
cut up angels
light with a sharpened edge
the beginning poem of "i'm a fake"

I like The Used, but sadly, I have none of their CDs...though I am feeling the need to go to Wal-Mart and raid their CD department (I'm too cheap for BestBuy and most of the time Wal-Mart has the CDs I want)...I really like "Blue and Yellow" and "The Taste of Ink." I haven't heard any of their new stuff, but I really want their new CD as well as their self-titled album!

I really love In Love and Death. It's one of those cds I can listen to all the way through, without skipping any songs.

ACK! That's good to hear, I think I'm going to be making some major music purchases tomorrow at Wal-Mart (along with black hair dye).

Ok, so I just saw the video for All That I've Got and I think it's great. I just wanted to say AGAIN that I love their cd. And I'm sure their other one is great - just gotta get more money. :P

^Yeah, I haven't seen ANY of their videos, but I got their self-titled album a few weeks ago and I LOVE it! I still need to pick up their new one, but I'm low on cash as well...

Which of their two CDs are harder/better? Does the new CD have less screaming in it than the older one? I'm thinking of maybe getting one of their CDs, but I'm not sure which one...

I got to see that video just the other morning, and I enjoyed it very much...this really makes me want their new CD. Oh, and:

*while watching the video*
My roommate: Oh, I like this song, and the lead singer is kinda cute
Me: No, the lead singer is CRAZY! But I like this song as well...

The video for All That I've Got is awesome. I like the animated stuff being worked into it. Great.

You know the part where the kid is 'transported' to the center room? I thought it was Bert and that he was going to start dancing. :o

But yeah - great video. I'm liking the Used more and more.

Same here! I can't believe that they have only been around for less than three years. I remember when I was a junior in high school this girl I knew LOVED them, so she was the one who introduced them to me...that seems like ages ago now...

Well, I ended up getting "In Love and Death" a few months ago, but I only listened to it like once. However, a friend of mine wanted to listen to it the other day, and ever since I let her hear it, I've been listening to it non-stop! I LOVE that album! It really makes me wish that The Used were still on the Warped Tour...

They aren't on the Warped Tour? Didn't know. I thought they would be because MCR is on it. :P

notice how she said "still." they were on there (i remember seeing a special on Fuse with Gerard and Bert), but i guess they longer are.

Nope, The Used are no longer the head-liners for the Warped Tour, MCR is. I think they (The Used) decided to tour separately this summer or something...
