Transcription

Background

In late April 2010, the group cancelled all upcoming shows in Europe and Russia, citing circumstances rising from a split with their management team. In addition, they mentioned they had started writing for their next album.[13]

Musical style

Lead singer Bert McCracken said of the album: "This record's really about becoming more than just who you are, and allowing yourself that vulnerability to be a more powerful person. It's a lot more positive than a lot of records we’ve written in the past. I think everyone could use some positivity nowadays."[14]

McCracken also said about the music: "There’s a lot of hip-hop influence, beats and drum and bass kind of stuff, but it’s also still a The Used record, by all means. Just like any other Used record, it’s a horse of many colors: There are a lot of soft and heavy sounds, there are a lot of brutal, sharp, bright sounds, and the tempos are anywhere from ultra-slow to super fast and heavy. There are a lot of different conceptual feelings on the record."[14]

Release

"I Come Alive" was made available for streaming on January 5, 2012[15] through KROQ-FM,[16] before being released as a single on January 10.[17] The album's track listing was revealed on January 19.[18] The following day, a lyric video was released for "I Come Alive".[19] "I Come Alive" was released to alternative radio stations on February 14.[20] "Hands and Faces" was released as a single on February 21.[21] The group appeared at the Alternative Press' South by Southwest showcase on March 17[22] performing an acoustic set.[23] In the days leading up to the release of the album, the band streamed several tracks through a variety of music websites: "Shine" (through Alternative Press)[24] and "Put Me Out" (through Hurley International) on March 20,[25] "Moving On" (through Revolver)[26] and "Hurt No One" (through Noisecreep) on March 22,[27] and "Getting Over You" and "This Fire" on March 23.[28] Vulnerable was released on March 26 as joint release between Anger Music Group and Hopeless Records.[24] On the same day, the group made an outtake "Machine" available for streaming.[29]

On April 6, a music video was released for "I Come Alive".[30] It was followed by streams of acoustic renditions of "I Come Alive" and "Put Me Out" on April 12.[31] In April, the group embarked on a UK tour[32] with support from Marmozets.[33] In May and June, the group went on a headlining US tour, before appearing on the Warped Tour in June and July.[34] On July 18, a lyric video was released for "Put Me Out".[35] The track was released to alternative radio stations on August 14.[36] The band released a music video for "Put Me Out" on September 17,[37] before embarking on a headlining west coast US tour with support from Twin Atlantic and Stars in Stereo.[38] In November, the band headlined Warped Tour UK[39] before supporting Evanescence on their UK arena tour.[40] On January 21, 2013, a deluxe edition was released featuring an extra disc of recordings and new artwork.[41] Between January and March, the group headlined the Take Action Tour.[42] On March 8, the band released a music video for "Hands and Faces".[43] In May, the band co-headlined the AP Tour in Japan with Silverstein and Crossfaith.[44]
