Data Insight

The credit line reads "the Used, except where noted", and then nine of the twelve tracks note somebody else. John Feldmann takes seven of them on his own, Evan Taubenfeld takes "Shine" and Martin Johnson takes "Getting Over You". Only "I Come Alive", "Give Me Love" and "Moving On" stay with the band credit, which makes this the album where the producer is written into the songs most directly.

Vulnerable was released in March 2012 on the band's own Anger label through Hopeless, with John Feldmann producing. It reached number eight on the Billboard 200.
