User Album Review
There’s a huge amount of sadness and death within The Canyon, but the music brims with life. Once your hometown intertwines with personal tragedy, it’s impossible for it to be the same, but it’s still your home. These are places with memories and joy that will never leave you, and it’s remarkably astute that The Used chose to explore that duality within the record. There’s so much to unpack here, and that undertaking is completely worthy of the effort. The results sit alongside Finch’sSay Hello To Sunshine and Vendetta Red’s Sisters Of The Red Death as abrupt left-turns that sought to both challenge their audience and satisfy their creators’ ambition. Once content to artlessly bludgeon their way through existence, The Used now stand proud as a complex, insightful collective that demand to be heard. With no warning whatsoever, this is an incredibly thoughtful, articulate modern rock record that stands toe-to-toe with anything released this year. Reviewed by Aidan Reynolds for drownedinsound.com.
