    In the case of the Used's fifth proper LP, the exact opposite could be said--we hear too many singles. Or would-be singles, that is. [Apr 2012, p.89]

    The majority of tracks follow the tried and true template of atmospheric intro/staccato breakdown/huge power chorus/repeat, but the balance between sheen and filth is handled with aplomb.

    Vulnerable contains its share of lemons, but there is a spark, an energy, that hasn't been heard from McCracken's voice in a while.

    Vulnerable, is not groundbreaking, nor is it a complete return to form. It is, however, pretty good – which is a huge step in the right direction.
