In Love and Death is the second studio album by American alternative rock band The Used. It was released on September 28, 2004 and has since been certified gold.[1] It is their most well-received and successful album to date.[2] This was the first album for which Alex Pardee did the artwork, and he has done all artwork for The Used since, excluding 2009's Artwork. The title and music reference a number of tragic events that surrounded vocalist Bert McCracken during the album's production, notably the death of his pregnant girlfriend.

[edit] Re-Release

The album was re-released on May 3, 2005 with the addition of a bonus track, a cover of Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure", in which they collaborated with My Chemical Romance. An article in Kerrang! magazine said that the bonus track was added to later pressings of the album without the band's permission.[citation needed]
