"Songs are about concentration camps, killing people, overthrowing the government, and many other tough political matters" Jimmy Eat World has to be the most hardcore band out there. Lending Rollins-like vocals to a lould, fast romper-stomper background beat, JEW blow Blood For Blood away when it comes to tenacity, ferocity, and just about everything else. Songs are about concentration camps, killing people, overthrowing the government, and many other tough political matters. I just hope JEW doesnt go too far and star a revolution. this band is so pointless. they're one of the most stale bands around and i'm not sure how they ever got associated with punk. the band themself asked the same question "I really do think they've done a fine job of taking a hard, fast, in-your-face electro-rock song and making it their own" To Sticky_Floor: If the changed the lyrics, it wouldn't be much of a cover, now would it? to Th3Space: This score is for getting drugs for christmas, what a great gift idea "Have there been any catchier songs than "sweetness" or "the middle" in the past 2 years? I still can't get them out of my head." And tadow! Here's the article! Click This! Maybe I should've done the search first? Isn't the 'Firestarter' cover supposed to end up on some cover-comp due out later this year? I remember that being mentioned on here some time back...if I recall, The Prodigy is actually supposed to be on it as well. The cover is a damn sight better than I had anticipated...color me shocked. It's almost got a shorter, sweeter, more to the point 'Goodbye SkyHarbor' feel to it (with the new vocal method, natch). oh yeah... man, that cover impresses me so much i'll overlook their shitty music and the fact that i don't have a turn table to get it. its funny that their initials are JEW Have there been any catchier songs than "sweetness" or "the middle" in the past 2 years? I still can't get them out of my head. Jeremy A's on DRUGS YA'LL! I saw this at our friendly HOT TOPIC and decided since I had $4.99 that I would cough it up, even though I don't have a record player (that works anyway). I love jimmy eat world, so that played a part in me buying this, but the art work on here is just beautiful. I can't wait to actually listen to these songs, even though I still havent even opened this biatch yet. Maybe I can sell it for like 1001 or some shit. Naw fuck it, I'll keep it. I love these guys, i have since like clarity first came out you know, so why not keep this. I mean its mine, mine! They try to steals it, no! Its mine, my own, my precious... "Sucks. Strictly for kids who want to look all sensitive, even when they're all alone." "Sucks. Strictly for kids who want to look all sensitive, even when they're all alone." >>>> "Sucks. Strictly for kids who want to look all sensitive, even when they're all alone." the artwork doesn't impress me that much from what is displayed. You recall correctly, sir. No shit, it's not the band's fault everyone and their mother can appreciate their amazing music. They've been doing this their way since they started, and they're not catering to anyone. If I recall correctly, didn't they self-record and self-produce Bleed American without any label? "Sucks. Strictly for kids who want to look all sensitive, even when they're all alone." i have them both, look at my profile and email me there... you wish you were Thoreau... i have the last christmas mp3 but haven't been able to find firestarter.. email at iamthoreau13@hotmail.com and ill hook you up I'd like to hear this. Anyone have some MP3's? Sucks. Strictly for kids who want to look all sensitive, even when they're all alone. |
