About the album

By 2010 The Used had split from their management, cancelled a European tour and gone back to writing. They came out of it with Vulnerable, their fifth album and their first for Hopeless Records, and with John Feldmann back behind the desk, the producer who'd shaped their self-titled debut, In Love And Death and Lies For The Liars.

Bert McCracken said the record was about letting yourself be vulnerable to become stronger, and that it was more positive than anything they'd written before. It still sounds like The Used, all big hooks and bigger screams, but with hip-hop beats and drum and bass touches folded in, from "I Come Alive" and "Put Me Out" to "Hurt No One". On white & red twister vinyl, it's as loud to look at as it is to hear.
