Jimmy eat world is a band that gets me excited. They are one of the most influential bands on the entire emo scene. contrary to some peoples belief, they've been on a major since 'Static Prevails'. Quite simply put; I love Jimmy Eat World. and i don't give a shit that they're on a major. I knew it was a mistake to put this cd on the listening post. I couldnt afford to buy it really, but as soon as I heard that signature sound that makes j.e.w what they are, I had to part with the cash. and it's good. It's always gonna be hard to live up to the expectations that they set on 'Clarity', and I gotta admit, it's not quite as good as Clarity; but it most definitely rocks a hell of a lot more than anything else that's come out recently. The cd has a more basic, laid back and poppy feel to it than 'Clarity' does but it's just so catchy, so heartwrenching and most definitely sooo emo! there's some classic stuff on this. 'hear you me' and 'my sundown' are the two stand out tracks by far and they are the 'for me this is heaven' and 'lucky denver mint' of the album. 'your house' is the heartbreaker song sporting the lyrics 'if you still care at all, don't go - tell me now' and even when Jim sings 'you ripped my heart right out' it just can't help but sound so charming. 'get it faster' has a monster of a riff towards the middle of the song and this is the most gritty and bitter of all of the tracks but then they follow it up with 'cautioners' which is just amazing and gets you sitting there, all dreamy eyed once again. 'the authority song' is the catchy as a cold pop rock tune that you think Green Day wrote while Weezer were lending them their guitars. The handclaps are just so cool. This is gonna be a cd that gets played over and over and over again. People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments.

score for the review. I can garauntee that anyone giving jimmy eat world bad reviews has never heard any of their stuff outside of "middle" and "sweetness". Why are they even wasting their time reviewing a band they have never even heard. this has some good songs and some that aren't so good. bleed american, praise chorus, sweetness, hear u me, and cheating gets it faster are all kick ass an shit. the others leave a little to be desired Sometimes, I want to hear music that's intense. Something that can just make me feel alive, make me very angry or sad or any emotion strongly. Something, that makes me feel like I'm doing something important that the outcome will save the world. If I feel like that, I put on Fugazi. This CD rocks!! if this review is serious, then the state of the world is even worse than i had previously thought. if, however, this is a parody, i must say it is brilliant. Ah right i see. I'm not new to the site but this is just the first time ive been bothered to get an account cos i wanted to post some reviews. Thanks for the advice, and yeah, jimmy eat world does get me exited. Jimmy Eat World is a band that gets you excited? ummmmm. OK. Repeater -- I like their older work, but this album isn't bad at all. I think it gets a bit too much attention, but oh well. I agree totally. Clarity is their masterpiece, static prevails is pretty awesome, the split with Jebadaiah is cool (apart from the fact that jebadaiah are on it) and this album is damn good. hey scott, i submitted some more reviews with this, how come you dont put them up? I would honestly compare some of these songs as being foo fighterish, which is ok..but this too became boring after a while. Fuck this pussy shit and fuck MTV! thank you for being cool. Where the hell where all you fuckers when my JEW/Jebediah review was getting blasted? Shit! And this album's only okay, Clarity is much better. I didn't like Jimmy Eat World at all when I bought this, and I think it's perfect. Even the rigidly anti-Jimmy Eat World will have to give in to this. What an amazing record. "A Praise Chorus" has been stuck in my head about 1000 times since I got this album. This album is beautiful. Absolutely perfect in my mind. |
