Since I'm such an amazing student in Computer Tech and actually got everything done (now I deserve the good grade I have, haha.) I decided to review this CD that I honestly was shocked at how good it was.
It's "Lies For The Liars" by The Used, it was released on May 22, 2007.
Unlike their previous uber-whine sound, they incorporated some Panic! At The Disco type sounds, apparently the 'circus' sound is in at the moment. But don't let th catchy pianos and violins fool you, it is a lot more metal that I'd ever expect from them. A lot of screaming, but light on the painful whining voice. They really upped their game on this one.
The album has 11 songs, The Ripper, Pretty Handsome Awkward, The Bird & The Worm, Earthquake, Hospital, Paralyzed, With Me Tonight, Wake The Dead, Find A Way, Liar Liar (Burn in Hell), and Smother Me/Queso.
When it comes to lyrics they have no in between, they're either very strong or very lame. They are still writing about the same stuff they always have been, wanting the girl to stay with them, violent themes, the afterlife, Burt's image of 'love.' The majority of the songs are catchy and get stuck in your head for days (so be careful.)
If you aren't a fan of their music, you should find someone who has the album and take a look at their album art work (not just the cover but the photos in the liner notes are incredible) if crack-voice-emo ever dies, Burt Mc-crack-a-lackin' could have a very good career in traditional art (painting, drawing, etc.)
The average rating (out of 5) is about 4 stars. I think I agree, I'd give it 4.5 just because it's hard for me to get passt Burt's not-so-great voice.
I'm going to go cry and listen to this album in shame because they're not allowed to be good.
