This review is from: Maybe Memories (Audio CD)

While it seems normal for a band to release an album of old stuff in order to maintain its popularity, the Used are just being ridiculous. They're barely a year old, and now this, a mix of live and unreleased tracks plus a DVD. They could have at least waited a few albums first, but that's just my opinion.

But the content on this cd isn't bad at all. The first 4 tracks are live, and if you've ever seen The Used live (which I have several times), you will most certainly enjoy listening to them in what might be their best medium.

After the 4 live sets, you are treated to a selected grouping of demos, songs based on ideas and rare tracks recorded for whatever function. And none of them sound at all bad. Despite some of them saying they were recorded in a garage or basement, I wonder if Mr Producer got his hand on them first, at times they sound a little TOO good, if you know what I mean.

The DVD is basically all their videos (Buried Myself Alive is a favorite of mine because it's so creepy) and a few "Making Of" sections for the videos. Standard fare here, so many bands are doing this I wonder why they even bother to give the DVD billing on the cover at all.

If you are a diehard, of even a big, fan of The Used, then by all means buy the cd, it's worth your time and money. For everyone who just happened to hear them on MTV and bought their album because it was "cool" or because it gave you "punk cred", skip this one. You probably won't listen to it very often, just like you don't listen to their LP either.

This is something that hardcore fans of The Used will love. I greatly recommend it, yet I do recommend that you buy their first cd before this one. The DVD is awesome because you not only get to see them in concert, but you also get to see the music videos!

Wow The Used can't seem to do no wrong these days. On the heels of their highly sucessfull self-titled album comes their new cd/dvd entitled "Maybe Memories," which I have to say is pretty impressive. Not only does it deliver on the audio side with the new song "just a little," but the dvd is great too. It reminds me of when I went to see them for the first time last year and it was on point. Good video quality, cameras were pretty awesome, but when it comes down to it, who gives a flying hootnanny about the cameras and stuff! It was, overall a very entertaining documentary.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's their time to shine.
The Used had an incredible year in 2003. Their 2002 self-titled album yielded three powerhouse hit singles and propelled the band very quickly into the mainstream. Read more
