Imaginary Enemy is the sixth studio album by American rock band The Used. It is the first album released on, and the second label the band created and own, GAS Union.

Imaginary Enemy is the final album to feature guitarist Quinn Allman before he parted from the band in November 2015.

Recording

The album was produced by John Feldmann, who also produced all of the band's studio albums with the exception of Artwork.[1]

In an interview with Jeph, he stated that they recorded the album "backwards" by having the vocals recorded first and then having the music written to the vocals. It is the first time they have recorded like this and did so because they were unhappy with the sound of the songs when recording the music so they scrapped the dozen songs they had written and tried something new.[2]

Release

On January 20, 2014, Imaginary Enemy was announced for release in April; its track listing and artwork were revealed.[3] A week later, a music video was released for "Cry".[4] The track was released to alternative radio stations on February 4.[5] Following a performance at South by So What?! festival, the band went on a co-headlining US tour with Taking Back Sunday in March and April. They were supported by Sleepwave and Tonight Alive.[6] Imaginary Enemy was made available for streaming on March 26, before being released on April 1[7] through Hopeless Records and the band's label GAS Union.[8] The band performed at the Download Festival in the UK in June.[9] The group toured Australia with Taking Back Sunday in August[10] and the US in September and October[11] with support from Frank Iero.[12]

Partway through the tour, the group released a split 10" vinyl EP, which featured two songs by Taking Back Sunday, and "Revolution" and "Money Monster" from the Used.[13] On September 18, a music video was released for "Revolution".[14] The track was released to alternative radio stations on September 30.[15] On February 2, 2015, the band announced that guitarist Quinn Allman would be taking a temporary year of absence; Justin Shekoski of Saosin filled in Allman's role.[16] Following this, the group went on a headlining UK tour with support from Decade and Landscapes.[17] In April and May, the group went on a headlining US tour with support from Every Time I Die, Marmozets and the Eeries,[18] before embarking on a co-headlining US tour with Chevelle later in May.[19] In October, the band appeared at the Taste of Chaos festival.[20]

At Alternative Press, Evan Lucy rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, writing that "Whether the band's fanbase latches on to the politicism is yet to be seen, but these song will sound great from the pit regardless."[22]

The album charted at #14 on the Billboard 200 and number 1 on the Independent albums chart.[26]
