Lies for the Liars Reviews

One can’t help but compare this to My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade, and although the latter was an obscenely pompous mega-production, the Used have taken a less ambitious step forward, retaining their punk roots. The group still added plenty of studio tricks that are mostly unobtrusive, except for the strings and Gregorian chants of the single “The Bird and the Worm,” which one could simultaneously appreciate for being utterly bat-shit insane and deride for its horridness. “Hospital” and “Liar Liar” are energetic and fun pop-punk tunes, while the softer “Find a Way” promises to be a major late-summer hit.
