Without reading any other comments; I love the fuzzier guitars, and the chorus is stuck in my head after 1 listen and I loved the vibe of the whole song. However Jim's vocals were pretty low in the mix and tough to make out at times. Maybe Youtube is slightly to blame, but I'm pretty sure that is just the mix.
Im getting the same feeling I got when Work came out. Just feels like this could be one of those types of albums from JEW which has me pumped. Edit: I get that Futures was out for a long time before Work came out as a 2nd single, but due to the way albums are rolled out these days its different. In my head Get Right was a lead single like Pain was since they both were on the heavier side.
Echoing all the "holy shit that instrumental bridge" sentiments. I was digging the track, really enjoyed the verse melody and the chorus was pretty catchy. But that bridge leading into the final chorus? That's some straight up Jimmy Eat World magic right there. Elevates the whole song.
Luckily it's not ours to say what can be a single, and what not, that would be boring and heading us back to the days when labels would choose songs that would be more first-listener-friendly. So far it's 2/2 for me as well, love that sound and the songs are really strong in my opinion.
Not a chance. I like Anberlin, but I don't think they have a single album that is consistently great, let alone a catalog that is as consistently great on an album-for-album, song-for-song basis.
I'm talking bands that have been around for as long as JEW and have proven that they can continue to kill it with every release. 1975 rules, but they're so much younger.
Yeah, The 1975 won't even be in the conversation for another three or four albums. Stringing together two great albums is much easier than what JEW has managed to accomplish since Clarity.
Valid. Also if you include the stuff under different monikers, some of it's not good. So deftones if you exclude the first record.
Not their typical lead single. "Get Right", being so "punchy", felt more like that. This is superior in every manner, though. Outstanding song, I was in love after my first listen... Need tracklist, album cover and songs' length asap. Hoping for an epic closer.
I've been obsessed with this song. Amazing work here. The might be my most anticipated album now (still?).
I dunno. I thought NTFP, Cities and Vital were pretty darn consistent and strong. Lowborn wasn't great but it was good. Invented or whatever JEWs last release was isn't perfect either. (Cut me some slack. I'm tired and can't remember everything right now)
I just realize I've never heard Jimmy Eat World's first album. I probably should be in this discussion thread haha
Anberlin is legitimately great - I really don't think they put out a bad album. Cities is a classic, NTFP is basically as good as it, and Dark and Devotion are both super underrated. I even loved Lowborn. And funny enough, I actually saw the Futures tour and Anberlin's farewell on the same road trip. That said - Anberlin is a great band. But they're just nowhere near JEW. That's not an insult to Anberlin; JEW is just essentially without equal.
