    Great Follow Up

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 1, 2004 | 4 out of 6 found this In Love and Death review helpful

    Pros: Everyone can love a few songs, easy to like them all

    Cons: None

    Solid is the best word to describe this album. I anxiously awaited a song that would be as powerful emotionally and as strong as Buried Myself Alive. After hearing tracks from the Maybe Memories CD I didn't know if they could do it. But I was ...completely wrong. Waited a long time for a band from Utah to be good. Definitely will outsell 1st album, maybe double platinum? Screw the people who said they sold out, their first album was raw, this album is polished. Album shows the talent of Quinn. His riffs are timed perfectly they fit the songs. I think the best compliment to a musician is if it inspires one to want to play their music. Quinn makes me want to pick up guitar.Track ratings 1-10 and why.1)Take it Away 9/10 Reminiscent of 1st Album; Strong Vocals2)I Caught Fire 10/10 Band reaches new level, entire work is amazing, timing, guitars, drum work, lyrics, etc3)Let it Bleed 8/10 Catchy rhythmic guitar tabs throughout. A little repetitive.4)All that I've Got 10/10 String instruments, Bert sounds amazing, shows bands progression in all aspects (songwriting, complementing music with lyrics and vice versa)5)Cut Up Angels 8/10 Different direction than most songs, but it works. Bert plays piano in background for a bit.6)Listening 9/10 Screaming mixed with deliberate flow. 7)Yesterday's Feelings 8/10 New style/direction more evident here. More of a story-telling approach. Bert carries song.8)Light With A Sharpened Edge 8/10 Song flows well from start to end. I wish the unreleased track from Maybe Memories was here.9)Sound Effects And Overdramatics 9/10 Definite first album appeal. Great Screaming from Bert. Type of song that made Bert famous. Quinn is strong yet again with guitar solos. He doesn't try to outplay the band, and yet you can appreciate it almost as its own song.10)Hard To Say 10+/10 Most surprising song on the album. Show's just how talented Bert is. Close to a ballad, but Bert nails this song. He sounds amazing. Definitely about Kate. Evokes emotion throughout. Compares to On My Own from their first album, but better.11)Lunacy Fringe 7/10 Shows a way different style. If I were to hear this I wouldn't say it was a Used song. String instruments again, like an upright bass, maybe even a Cello??? Piano in the background again. Creative but I'm not in love with it.12)I'm a Fake 8/10 Bert intro's with a poem/verse. Quinn again makes his presence known. Vocals come from entire band. Screaming from all. Again, true to what first album portrays.This album will appeal to a wider audience than the first one did, but as a huge fan of the first album, I would have to say I like this album better. I usually skip tracks 3-5 on the first album, but I can't get away with it on this album. Get this album. Read more Less

    Pros: It's a very well produced, well thought out album

    Cons: It's not exactly what you would expect from hearing their first album. not necesarilly bad, but not the same.

    This album is quite amazing... You can tell that as musicians they have all grown alot and are not afraid at all to branch out into new territory. I'm sure they will get alot of flack and be considered sell-outs for having a slightely differant s...ound on some of their songs. But hey, no one wants to stay the same... Why would we expect Bert to always use the same ideas and patterns when singing (or screaming). The guy has an amazing voice whether he is singing as high and as proud as he can or busting his vocal cords to shreds. This band is not afraid to branch out and try new stuff. And with their second album! So when thinking about buying this album keep in mind that it might not be what you are expecting and about 4 songs are exactly what you are expecting. But it will be from the same band and still sound like the same band. Read more Less

    A let down

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 29, 2004 | 3 out of 5 found this In Love and Death review helpful

    Pros: There are 3 tracks that are reminiscent of the self titled album.

    Cons: Other than 3 tracks, the rest of the album sounds like radio rock pop.

    I've been a huge fan of the Used for quite some time, so I was anxiously waiting for the release of the second album, "In Love and Death". After listening to it since the release date, I'm sorry to say that I'm very disapointed.... While tracks like "Let it Bleed" "Sound Effects and Overdrafts" and "I'm a Fake" still bring out the great feelings felt when first listening to self title album, the rest of the songs leave something to be desired. "Im a Fake" is a great song, but it's preceeded by an poem that I'm forced to fast forward through after the first listen.I was planning on attending up to 3 live shows this tour, but it will be a surprise if I I'll make the trip to one now.

    Cons: Can't Get Enough Of Them

    I think that they are so inspiring..they are changing the music industry for the better. this band is definatly here to stay. i first started to listen to their music when i heard A Box Of Sharp Objects. I think that on the album In Love and Death th...ere could of been more screaming. but all all in they are a great band. i would have to say that they are actually my favorite band out there..keep up the good work guys!
