The Used

The Used

A visceral collision of feral screaming and sugary pop melodies. This debut defined the 2000s emo-screamo boom with its raw, theatrical intensity.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'scream-along in your car' record for when life feels like too much.

A frantic, explosive release of suppressed trauma and desperate hope.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the melodic chorus to the throat-shredding bridge in 'A Box Full of Sharp Objects'.
Bert McCracken's audible retching sound that punctuates the chaotic energy of 'Say Days Ago'.
The stark, lonely piano and string arrangement on 'On My Own' that strips away the distortion for pure vulnerability.
