The Used - Maybe Memories - Comments Page 2

Can you imagine Bono singing in a Mudvayne cover band?

Can you imagine Bono singing in a Mudvayne cover band? Ok, maybe that's stretching it just a little. But there are definitely some U2-ish elements to Bert McCracken's vocals. On the other hand, this guy can scream!! Cripes, he keeps this up and someday his uvula is gonna fly out of his mouth and paste itself to some poor front-row forehead. But that's where the Mudvayne thing ends. This CD contains a pile of previously unreleased and live material (plus a bonus DVD). I'd never head of these guys before and was a little worried, after hearing the first scream, that they were headed for the "loud but boring sorta-metal" pile. Nope. I really like "A Box Full Of Sharp Objects": a cool guitar riff, plenty of dissonance and that throat-ripping scream. The rest of the songs are a lot more diverse in style than you would expect. Heck, there was even a piano instrumental. What are kids calling this stuff anyway? Punk? Emo-core? I guess it doesn't matter. It is kinda fun though. (First posted on Mark Is Cranky)…
