Used, The – Toxic Positivity (2 x Color Vinyl LP)

Description

Described as a ”day-in-the-life journey of a depressed, anxiety-ridden person” by vocalist Bert McCracken, the tell-all record shares the highs and lows of depression and addiction through a cohesive body of work, speaking to the ever-changing headspace that he was experiencing at the time of writing. ”This record is quite tough for me to listen to,” he adds, ”because it’s a reflection of times in my life that have been some of my lowest ever.” Absorbed front-to-back in its finished form, Toxic Positivity pulls from every facet of The Used’s definitive sound. There’s the buzzsaw riff of ”Pinky Swear (Save Me)”; the sweeping, arena-sized chorus of ”Headspace”; the riveting hooks of ”The Worst I’ve Ever Been”; and the underlying pop sensibilities of ”I Hate Everybody.” Displaying a depth of sonic variety while never allowing an inch of slack into its taut cohesiveness, this is the past, present, and future
