Jimmy Eat World - Integrity Blues (October 21, 2016) Album • Page 209

Who cares about music videos anyway ha

 

Get right and sure and certain have been getting some airplay lately

 

That's mostly true, I just would've loved to see "Sure and Certain" fleshed out into something other than cartoons and ballerinas

 

I think the average fan of the band a decade plus ago who was into their singles stopped following their type of music which is why their surprised they've released a new album.

 

to most people JEW are the middle and maybe sweetness or pain. Like, I once had on Futures in my car and my roommate who exclusively listens to radio rock and Rise Against (and inexplicably once put on Knuckles by Moose Blood....I can only assume he had a type with royal blood or whatever that shitty band is), and he knew it but like, people get surprised when I say that JEW are probably my favorite band.


in summary, there's probably little desire on RCA's part to push this record that much because of JEW's reputation that would make most people say "they're still around?" or "they're back?" if S&C ended up in the mainstream.


But Flynt Flossy did the video so does anything else matter?

 

I took a friend to go see them during the Chase This Light tour and he called it a "throw back" concert. I'm like, they are still current, man! Haha

And that was like 08? 07? Imagine what the casual mainstream fans think now.

 

When I first played JEW around my girlfriend (which was Bleed American) she disliked it because it reminded her of the really bad radio rock from that time period and also thought it was dated. Luckily, she changed her mind on that.

 

Watched this yesterday and wow, they have their show down to a science

 

I just read a lot of pages from this thread and jumped to the end because I must say something:
WTF Guys Static Prevails is like top 5 JEW (it sits at 4 in my rank) you guys break my heart :(

 

It's a fine album, but they have just made way better albums since then.

 

I listen to Static maybe once a year and that's enough.

 

Static sounds like giants chair or something, so I like it lots

 

Static is the Crystal Skull of JEW albums.

 

S/t is the crystal skull

 

i 100% truly believe that self titled shouldn't count as part of JEW's discog

 

I still haven't heard anything pre-Static

 

Haven't listened pre-Clarity and I think I'll keep it that way

 

Static Prevails has a few tracks worth checking out. "Claire" is prob my fave from it.

 

Static Prevails is worth checking out especially if you're into the 90s emo scene. Not great but has some good songs on it. Never checked out self-titled as I've never heard a good thing about it.

 

I enjoy Static Prevails a good amount-- and still listen to it a few times a year. It also somehow makes me appreciate the rest of their discography more. Kind of want to put it on now after talking about it...

 

I love Seventeen and Episode IV

 

Thinking That's All, Anderson Mesa, Call It In The Air, Seventeen, fucking ROBOT FACTORY
I love Static Prevails so much
Maybe because I love that 90's punky emo

 

I'll only listen to Static Prevails once or twice a year. But usually if I'm in the mood for JEW (which is a lot), I'm going to put on on something post-SP.

 

Is there a better run of songs than "You Are Free" through "Pol Roger"? Absolutely perfect.

 

Not sure if anyone else bought tickets to the Incubus/JEW tour, but I received an email today for an EP download. It's titled Are You Listening and has 5 songs.

1. Get Right
2. Sure and Certain (Acoustic)
3. Always Be (Live ft Hayley Williams)
4. A Praise Chorus (Live ft Davey VonBohlen)
5. Hear You Me (Live ft Courtney Marie Andrews)
