The Used's new album 'Artwork' drops as the group snag the Band Of The Week honours.
The band's fourth album is a winner. Setting out with an agenda to distinguish themselves from a stolid screamo scene, they wanted to rediscover the harsher, less polished style of their debut, and even aimed to coin their own genre, ‘gross pop’. In Rock Sound's opinion ‘Artwork’ achieves these goals in glorious fashion. The band have refocused their songwriting efforts, and in the process created their best record to date.
