"Take It Away" was the opening shot from In Love and Death, the Used's second album, going out to radio at the end of August 2004, and the song and its video doubled as the ads that sold the record. John Feldmann produced it, recorded it and mixed it, and he keeps everything tight and loud: Quinn Allman's guitar slashes, Jeph Howard's bass and Branden Steineckert's drums drive hard, and Bert McCracken lurches between a croon and a throat-shredding howl. The four of them wrote it together, and it plays like a band sprinting flat out.
