THE USED - SELF TITLED
25 Years of The Used – Slam Dunk UK/EU Exclusive Double Vinyl
Few albums capture the raw emotion and explosive energy of early-2000s alternative rock quite like The Used. Released in 2002, the self-titled debut from the Utah-based band became a defining record of the emo and post-hardcore scene, combining Bert McCracken’s intensely expressive vocals with driving guitars, dynamic arrangements and lyrics that balance vulnerability with unfiltered intensity.
Featuring some of the band's most recognisable songs, including The Taste of Ink, Buried Myself Alive, Blue and Yellowand A Box Full of Sharp Objects, the album helped establish The Used as one of the standout bands of their generation. Its blend of melodic hooks, abrasive energy and emotional honesty continues to resonate with fans more than two decades later.
This special 25 Years of The Used edition, released exclusively through Slam Dunk for the UK and European market, gives the landmark debut a distinctive new presentation. The double-vinyl pressing features rusty red, yellow and white splatter on glass-clear vinyl, creating a striking multicoloured finish that makes this edition stand out in any collection. New cover artwork and printed inner sleeves complete the release, while the inclusion of Just a Little adds further appeal for longtime fans.
A special anniversary pressing celebrating the lasting influence of a record that helped shape a generation of alternative music, this is an eye-catching addition for collectors of emo, post-hardcore and early-2000s rock.
