I love that song! I've made a custom equalizer setting JUST for this album to make these songs a bit more dynamic and it really helps How'd You Have Me shine.
seems like a lot of people have very limited distance between what places last and what places first for them, which i find interesting and speaks to their enjoyment of JEW's entire catalogue (or close enough to entire). for me though, there's: two really good JEW albums: Futures and Chase This Light two good albums: Bleed American and Clarity one okay album: Invented one bad album: Damage right now, after having Integrity Blues for a whole 72 hours, in which i've listened to it maybe 5 times so clearly that's the best time to rank it compared to other albums we've had for years, i'd label it as "good" at this moment in time.
Yep. It definitely feels like one of their most "complete" records to me. It all holds together so well as an album. "I Will Steal You Back" has always sounded muddy to me. That's really the only song where I have much issue with the production.
Woohoo, a new ranking system! two classic albums: Damage and Futures three excellent albums: Clarity, Bleed American and Static Prevails one really good album: Integrity Blues three average-to-good albums: Invented, Chase This Light and Jimmy Eat World
This system is actually much better because it accounts for the fact that many of the albums I can't really separate into rankings. Everybody redo your rankings using the new system :D
Oh cool, tiers! Classic - Clarity, Futures Excellent - Integrity Blues, Bleed American Very Good - Chase This Light Good - Damage, Invented Fair - Static Prevails
Classic: Clarity, Futures Excellent: Chase This Light, Invented Very Good: Bleed American, Damage Good: Static Prevails If I had to guess I'd say IB ends up in excellent or very good.
Futures Integrity Blues/Chase This Light (Tied for now. I've made a deep connection with IB already. Faster than I did with CTL) BA Damage Clarity Invented Static
Jimmy Eat World rankings Other rankings Suggestions to ban rankings Actually banning rankings Static Prevails Jokes about rankings
On the topic of rankings, I'd rank Pol Roger near the bottom of their closers. I love this album so far but that track is not doing it for me whatsoever.
i pronounce "pol roger" correctly when i say it out loud but for some reason when i read it in my head online i always pronounce it as in the name "roger" haha.
I don't know why I didn't think to buy some Pol Roger before listening to the album for the first time. I could have been riding a good buzz by the time the album reached the song, and it would have been so great.
