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.

Recorded at Foxy Studios, Marina Del Rey, California and Olympic Studios, London, England.

The Used: Quinn Allman (vocals, guitar); Jeph Howard (vocals, bass); Branden Steineckert (vocals, drums); Bert McCracken (vocals).

Additional personnel: Carmen Daye (background vocals).

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..."

5 stars punk con mucho poder
puta man este disco es impresionante conbina el hardcore punk y mucha melodia en la voces de este tipo que tiene una voz suave y tierna pero con un poder de grito muy bueno como Glassjaw tipo de esas bandas solo que mas comercial.
