Data Insight

All twelve tracks credit the band as a unit, so nothing here separates the writers. The three singles all charted on Alternative Songs, "Buried Myself Alive" at 13, "The Taste of Ink" at 19 and "Blue and Yellow" at 23, and all three carry the same one-line credit.

The Used is the band's debut, released on Reprise in June 2002 with John Feldmann producing. It reached number 63 on the Billboard 200 and kept selling long enough to be certified platinum by the RIAA in 2019.
