Although much is made of this Utah foursome's rebellious background (singer Bert McCracken's former drug addiction and the band's pre-record deal pan-handling street-kid lifestyle), all that's really required to ascertain the level of the band's commitment is a close listen to their self-titled debut release. They leap into each song as though their lives depended upon it (maybe they're not so anxious to go back to spare-changing). While they are initially presented as another entrant in the aggro-rock sweepstakes, there's a bit more than that to the Used. Sure, McCracken can let out blood-curdling screams of angst with the best of them, and there's no shortage of blazing guitars and pounding drums, but the Used seem to have spent at least as much time listening to Jane's Addiction as they have to the Deftones. The band's range is made most clear by the acoustic-guitar-and-strings ballad "On My Own" and the melodic piano motif at the end of the closing song "Pieces Mended."
Debut from The Used who have performed on the Warped and Ozzfest Tours. Special Enhanced CD featuring a video of 'A Box Full Of Sharp Objects' plus 12 tracks. Features the single 'The Taste Of Ink'. 2002.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Q (1/03, p.124) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...McCracken's strangulated wail kicks off a series of surprisingly subtle songs that come charging in like screaming thrash metal....A crafted, full-throttle debut..." CMJ (7/15/02, p.16) - "...This band's passionate performances will likely be too alluring for even the most stringent metal and hardcore fans to ignore....McCracken seesaws between throat-searing shrieks and high notes that are as smooth as a baby's fat chushy ass..."

Purchase Used CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs: Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Used album
$6.19 This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production ...
| | Finch What It Is To Burn CD (2002)
Used CD music
$12.59 A surprising amalgam of punk and metal, with a dash of emo, Finch's full-length debut is a powerful statement of first principles from this Temecula, CA quintet. Kicking off with the storming, anthemic "New Beginnings," they rush headlong through a set that positively bursts with uncorked energy, from the chiming, mid-tempo "Post Script" to the punky "Stay With Me."
Green Day fans will find themselves on familiar territory here, but there's more to Finch than mere punk rock duplication. Nate Barcalow's passionate vocals have a palpable ring of conviction that's echoed in the band's ensemble performance, and the intensity never lets up. "Project Mayhem" is a particular high point, displaying the band's musical smarts with some ...

| | Thrice Artist In The Ambulance CD (2003) Digipak
Used album
$10.45 On THE ARTIST IN THE AMBULANCE, alternative rock/emo-core combo THRICE lays down an unflaggingly intense set of melodically sharp, lyrically ambitious post-hardcore. Highlighted by the emotionally apocalyptic Active Rock radio chart-topping smash "All That's Left," the album stands head and shoulders above contemporary efforts by virtue of vocalist Dustin Keane's poetic lyrics, which often aspire to the exquisitely crafted, heart-tugging efforts of melancholy masters like Bob Mould or even Joni Mitchell.
Musically, the group eschews the simple three-chord jams of other pop-punk hitmakers in favor of a multi-textured ...
| | My Chemical Romance Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge CD (2004)
Used CD music
$9.55 For its major-label debut, My Chemical Romance amps up the melodies in transforming its unique hardcore approach to more of a pop-punk style. To say this Jersey quintet subscribes to the half-empty-glass outlook on love and relationships is like saying Johnny Rotten is a slightly irritable chap. Buried amid the abundant sing-along choruses and the tasty, two-guitar attack of fretburners Ray Toro and Frank Iero is doom-and-gloom imagery that ranges from the suicidal allusions of the soaring "Cemetery ...

| | Mississippi John Hurt Live CD (2002)
Used songs
$15.05 Mississippi John Hurt's vocal and guitar style are always easy on the ears. Unlike a number of Delta stylists with their high-pitched voices and slashing slide guitars, Hurt's approach to country blues is immediately accessible. Recorded (for the most part) at Oberlin College in 1965, Live captures Hurt a couple of years after his rediscovery and one year before his death. He kicks off with several spirituals, including "I Shall Not Be Moved" and "Nearer My God to Thee." As Billy Altman points out in the liner notes, religious material was often excluded from studio recordings because no one believed it marketable. The remainder of Live consists of folk-blues, from "Salty Dog Blues" to "Coffee Blues" to "Ain't Nobody's Business." Hurt's finger-style guitar reminds one of Elizabeth Cotton and has more in common with the Piedmont players in general than those of his Mississippi home. Perhaps this connection helps explain why Hurt, who is considered primarily a bluesman, covered so many traditional folk songs. Indeed, the inclusion of songs like "C.C. Rider" also connects him to that other great straddler of folk and blues, Leadbelly. The last three tracks -- "Hop Joint," ...
| | Boxcar Racer CD (2002)
Used album
$12.05 Strictly a Blink-182 side project (featuring that band's guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker), Box Car Racer doesn't stray too far from addressing the needs and concerns of the "other" band's core teen fanbase. Choosing to leave behind the toilet humor and skate-punk swagger normally associated with Blink, this outing instead goes down the road of vulnerability and insecurity that makes up the dark side of adolescence. Not surprisingly, Box Car Racer's stylistic hard-wiring features plenty of harmonies, prickly riffs, and pounding rhythms that come to the fore on the funky "And I," the hard-charging time changes of the opening "I Feel So," and the raging hardcore of "My First Punk Song."
Balancing out all this aggression are numbers where DeLonge swaps his electric guitar for an acoustic; heartfelt proclamations of love ("There Is") and the realization of life's fragility ("Letters To God"). Rounding out this self-titled debut are guest spots by Rancid's Tim Armstrong and A New Found ...
| | Dan Hartman Instant Replay CD (1978)
Used CD music
$6.75 "Instant Replay" itself kicks off with an "American Top 40" peppy countdown and boogies its way through an ode to rolling over in the clover that's as minty and mildly abrasive as toothpaste. Hartman, one of popular music's undersung utility infielders, sculpted his disco breakthrough with the same intricacy as Seymour Chwast's phantasmagoric album cover, but his fondness for real live percussion, room ambiences, and endless good-time monkeyshines set the finished work apart from the chilling and provocative flesh-against-machine conundrums posed by Donna Summer's work with Giorgio ...
| | Headlights Enemies EP CD (2005) Extended Play
Used music CDs
$6.39 You can't blame record labels for jumping on bandwagons. Why wouldn't they want to have the next White Stripes or Postal Service printing money for them? Headlights' debut EP for Polyvinyl seems at first to be a indie electronica wagon-jumper as the opening synth squiggles and techno drumbeats threaten yet another PS-wannabe group. Instead, the pedal steel guitar that loops around the fragile (human-operated) drumbeat and sweet vocal harmonies sends the proceedings to a much more interesting level. The group begins with excellent indie rock tunes and throws in some electronics to keep listeners on their toes and remind them that it is 2005. Tracks like the bursting-with-energy "Centuries" and the melancholy and swooning "Tokyo" are the work of a first-rate rock ...
