Nuclear Blast have stepped up to the plate and delivered the goods in a big way with Used & Abused. Featuring a compendium of material that boasts clips from no less than three different performances recorded over the course of the last two years, several promotional videos and a bevy of interview and backstage footage that goes well beyond the usual drunken malarkey. The good news is that the quality of the content matches the quantity. The sound and visuals of the performances are crisp and clear, and the interview sequences run like a professionally shot documentary. As for the performances: it's In Flames doing their thing.
