We Are The Used

Maybe Memories has taken the souls of The Used and thrown them out on the table for everyone to see. In thirteen well-mixed live and previously unreleased tracks, the band’s second full-length album gives you a personal and sincere look at who these guys really are. Songs such as ‘On My Own’ (live) and ‘Just a Little’ (prev. unreleased) give you a taste of their energy on stage – jumping around, or letting loose a scream – while ‘Sometimes I Just Go For It’ shatters the solid Deftones-style-punk with a piano instrumental to make this a musically varying, engaging, and very personal album, as it gives you a glimpse of why they play the way they do.Memories reflects upon the bands’ battle to overcome drugs, homelessness, and the closed minds of their peers in tracks sometimes heavy, sometimes gentle, and always compelling. As each song tells a story true to the life of the band, we are shown that the best way to feel more a part of a band’s music is to see their roots – where they came from and how they ended up, and that its never too early to release a live album of the progress.
