May 7, 2020The Used second best album after in love and death a great album with plenty of bangers. Like hospital,paralyzed,the bird and the worm and many more. One of my favorite albums.

Dec 22, 2013If there's one problem I have with this album, it's that the styles and sounds keep randomly changing, which does get irritating at times, but otherwise, this album is definitely worth it. One of the best albums of 2007.

Feb 20, 2012As bad as many thought it would be, Lies For The Liars continues The Used's great album artwork but that is about it. Apart from 'Find a Way', and 'The Ripper' little remains from their 2004 release, and what is left becomes a mixed bag of overwrought emotion and less energetic rip-offs of prior hits. Disappointing.

Sep 21, 2011The Used have been my favorite band for a long time now, and I can honestly say they are without a doubt the most talented song writers ever. Their lyrics are incredible and have helped me get through some of my bad days. I think every album they have done is great (I know all of them by heart) and I will always cherish any music they do.

LandonWJun 17, 2010By far there best release to date. They seem to be trying to seperated themselves from the emo image that i think still hampers thier sales. This album has more variety and off beat rhytms than any other album i have heard in the last 3 years. Absolutely awesome

StevenAAug 4, 2008It was overall a good album, but I still think they should revert back to the stuff like what they did in their debut album, where it was less produced.

JustinMar 9, 2008The Used did a damn good job on this album. It was no suprise to me that they would do this good of an album following "The Used" and "In Love And Death". I think they did spectacular.

seanfAug 16, 2007Bet album overall to date from the used. The used can still rock hard and this is proven on "raise the dead" and Hospital. They should stay away from the piano, but even the slower songs like "light in the tunnel" show a softer side and a balance to the album. THis is ten times better than "In love and death", and just as good if not better than their debut CD "The Used".

TylerCJul 28, 2007Even though different from they're pevious albums, Lies For the Liars manages to bring out a rare range of emotions while being fairly simple. It might not be for everyone, but those that like it will love it.

jyotirmayadasJul 3, 2007I normally don't like the Used, but this album was getting such good reviews, and there wasn't anything else out there that I was interested in, so I bought it... and I love it!!! Well balanced and shows maturity in music and lyrics.

DevinMJun 13, 2007The songs are definitely a change of pace for The Used. The album has it's ups and downs but the downs are too great to give this album a respectable rating. The songs are kind of mix and matched, choruses with completely different scales than the song which just make an uncomfortable transition. Best track on the CD: "Pretty Handsome Awkward".

JoshSJun 2, 2007It's at least a 9. Probably about 9.5. It's awesome, I don't get the low rating. It's like, their best CD. Especially if you get all the unreleased songs too. It's amazing, it's the Used with a new, different(But definetly good) twist.

After a while, the surfeit of ideas starts to sound like a lack. But the choruses are as effective as ever.

Entertainment WeeklyThere's no denying the galvanic power of singer Bert McCracken's blowtorch vocals. [25 May 2007, p.84]

Even if Lies for the Liars has the appearance of a crossover album, a la The Black Parade, it doesn't have the substance.
