The Used // Art Work

Artwork is the 4th studio album from The Used, which hit stores August 31st.  I have listened to this Album several times and came back really torn about it, because I want to like The Used.  To me they just seem like they should be so much better.  All 4 of their albums pretty much start with a bang and end with a bust.   After the first track the album seems to progressivily sound more and more the same.  I would really like to see The Used break out of their comfort zone and explore.  My Chemical Romance which is a friend of theirs has always managed to keep things fresh and new, while The Used becomes very stale very quickily.

One department that the Used really excels at however is their Album Art Work.

So my Recommendation for this album is not to pick it up unless you are hardcore Used fan.
