    The Used are re-releasing their first three albums on vinyl with new artwork.

    In celebration of the unforgetting fan experience of 3 nights in each city with full album play throughs of their first three records: their self-titled record The Used (2002), In Love And Death (2004) and Lies For The Liars (2007), the band have released limited edition vinyls with reimagined artwork for each album. The limited supply will be available Thursday, December 19 for purchase at www.TheUsed.net. 

The reconceptualised visions of the cover art from artists Cam Rackam,  Alex Pardee and Craola will bring visual dimension to these beloved records, making this special edition a must-have for fans of both the band and the genre. More on each artist below.
 
First released in 2002, their platinum-certified self-titled album that shattered records and expectations will debut with new cover art created by longtime collaborator, Cam Rackam, a fresh take on the original artwork by PR Brown. 

Their platinum-certified second record, In Love and Death (2004), featuring reimagined artwork by the original artist and long time collaborator Alex Pardee, stands as their most impactful and commercially successful release, solidifying their place in the post-hardcore and emo scenes. 

Their gold-certified third album, Lies for the Liars (2007), featuring reimagined artwork by Craola initially created by Alex Pardee resonated deeply with fans through the band's new found confidence and renewed sense of experimentalism. 

Fans new and old will have a chance to hear the iconic tunes that shaped the sound of early 2000s alternative rock, with an exciting new flare.

    this is all there is

    I don't care about LFTL, but Self-Titled and ILAD look like straight up booboo, worse in every way

    These are all terrible. I just don't know what this band is doing anymore. Disappointed in every turn these days.

    Having “Self Titled” printed on the cover is certainly a choice.

    Heh I don’t like that one at all but I’m surprised how strong the reactions are. Idk, they feel like the used to me. I actually really like the self titled one - writing self-titled on it is indefensible but it all just looks like a nostalgic look back at the emo/screamo/pop punk era *shrug.* if the worm wasn’t so gross looking on the Lies I’d say it’s a pretty cool image.

    Maybe these will become collectibles in the future because nobody wants them.

    Grown ass dudes in their 40s signed off on this shit LOL

    The LFTL one might be a tiny bit less worse than the original but that ain’t saying much.

    Oh yeah, these are so bad it’s shocking that these were greenlit in any way. All their albums have been terrible aesthetically, at least to my eyes
