Award-winning composer Jesper Kyd has created another epic score, the soundtrack for 'Assasin's Creed II,' which dropped Nov. 16. Complimenting the game's storyline about a young Italian noble during the Renaissance era who befriends da Vinci and encounters Florence's most powerful families, the score is packed with acoustic guitar and vocal solos, symphonic orchestrations and a full choir – providing emotional depth at heartrending moments and intense anticipation leading up to action/battle scenes.

'Born to Quit' is The Used second single from their fourth studio album 'Artwork.' The album -- released this past August -- was produced by Matt Squire (who has engineered albums for Panic! at the Disco, Boys Like Girls, and 30H!3). Although the single's lyrics aren't so uplifting: "The further you go, the less you'll know / You're born to quit, you've blown it (you've blown it)," the song proves The Used are moving into a pop direction comprised of catchy, memorable tunes. Listen to the new single on AOL Radio's New Alternative First station.
