    Do not add Jimmy Eat World to the equation

    God that last sentence sounds terrible when you only use their abbreviations

    Wonderful storytelling as usual, Craig. I don't know David Ford apart from "Every Time" (which is a great highway driving song) and "State of the Union" but the one you chose is a splendid ballad.

    even though american idiot and dookie were much more integral in my youth to getting me into music and specifically playing music, i have found in adulthood that the trio of albums between them resonate with me the most. isnt even a knock on either surrounding album as much of a testament it is to how much i love insomniac, nimrod and warning. nimrod almost feels like the closest thing the big league pop punk bands have to a london calling with how sprawling and adventurous it is

    I wouldn't be playing guitar and I wouldn't write songs if it weren't for American Idiot. Dookie is the obvious second best with Warning in a respectable third place. So many good songs on that record with some of my all time favourites like Deadbeat Holiday and Waiting.

    I'm happy for Ruston, he found God and he found a love he never felt before. His lyrics and his production are brighter than ever. Like with the Bon Iver record earlier this year, I can't fully relate to the songs, as the title track, Half Past Three and Twisted Root resonate deep within me. I'm not there yet but I want to walk towards it 'cause, as Cameron Winter sang, love takes miles.

  7. simplejack replied to the thread Band Ed Sheeran.

    Of all the album released today I want to check out I decided to rip off the bandaid and to play the Ed record first. And... there are heartfelt moments (Old Phone, For Always) and glimpses of what once was (Opening) but most of these tracks sound like exercises in production and nothing more. It's pleasant on the ears but it doesn't leave you with the desire of hearing it again.

    This sounds almost EXACTLY like "Cindy" by Tammany Hall NYC from the Scrubs soundtrack, it really captures the '00s acoustic pop rock vibe. [MEDIA]
