In Love And Death (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Used (The)

Advantages: Awesome lyrics provided by the one and only bert mccracken
Disadvantages: one or two songs that arent as good

...He can confide in himself though that his second album, IN LOVE AND DEATH, has reached the US top 10. The melodic nu metal they call "screamo" is tailored to fill arenas with people of similar tastes. Songs of suicide, and sadness , full of these emo tendancies. And so the formula occurs, screaming+emo=screamo! After their previous album, which included many good songs such as the taste of ink, poetic tragedy, blue and yellow, and many more! Track ...
...are more energetic and catchy in my opinion!, These "emoish" tracks, and the tracks i prefer are, Take it away, Im a fake, Let it Bleed, I caught fire, and sound effects and overdramatics! Take it away: This song is pumped with enegry and the gunshot is an excellent way to open into this awesome cd. And along with the lyrics which are full of meaning and emotion being presented to you via bert mccracken's harsh but melodic voice, it just makes ... Read review

Advantages: A good mixture of catchy, emo/hard rock, hooks.
Disadvantages: Some songs maybe falling into the 'catchy but forgettable' range?

...Caught Fire - 'Im melting in Your Eyes' Declares Bert in this - almost - sweet love song, demonstrating that he is not only good at screaming, but can belt out a good tune in an almost loving way too. 8/10 Track 3 - Let It Bleed - A jumpy, in your face track with stop-start guitars and a loud, brilliant chorus, that will be sure to make angsty teenagers want to all bang their heads along in usion. This song ends with Bert once again screaming, in ...
...purely for Berts voice, which in this song you can fully appreciate. 9/10 Track 6 - Listening - Starts with a raw guitar riff, and starts as it means to go on. Raw, in your face, and catchy. Berts again alternates between singing and screaming, before the chorus, which he doesnt scream, but doesnt exactly sing either, its more like hes shouting it at you. Fast and Furious. 7/10 Track 7 - Yesterdays Fellings - One for the fans of The Useds emo sound. ... Read review

The song that got me into the used was "Bulimic" i then went on to but this album and i absoloutly loved it. Every song had some kind of meaning and i would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good song with a strong meaning. I t was because of the fantatic album that i went on to go to a Used concert and it was a phenominal expericence. The best songs from the album are "I caught fire", "all that I've got" and "take it away". It is a strugle for me to give a negative response but if i had to pick a "worst song" it would be "yesterdays feelings" simply because its more of a mellow than any other osng on the punk/rock album. I love it.

Advantages: Very good. Cross between rock and emo
Disadvantages: Some slow quiet songs, abit to emo but they do eventually are rock

...3-5 of the songs stick in my head and I actually really like. I would reccomend downloading one or two songs first though before you buy this just incase. Try the songs 'I caught Fire', 'Take It Away', 'Lunacy Fringe' and 'All That I've Got'. This band is catchy though, and have recently grown into the top 5 of my fave bands. ~~~~~Track Listing~~~~~ 1. Take it away 2. I caught fire 3. Let it bleed 4. All that i've got 5. Cut up angels 6. Listening ... Read review
