Yep, the weather's in the 60's here all this week so that means this album will go on repeat again. JEW is the quintessential fall band.
I still almost a year later can't get over the title track. They have almost a Sigur Ros moment in that song. God this record is so good
I spun it this afternoon. Still one of my favorites of theirs. They have such a strong catalog. One of the only "newer" bands that I feel has passed the "five albums test" that Steven Hyden talked about on his podcast this week.
First side of this is one of the strongest stretches of songs in this band's discography, which is saying something.
I would argue the second half might even be stronger and that's saying something because the first half is special
Big disagree from me, since I really don't care for tracks 7 and 8, and 2-5 are all pretty close to top 10 JEW songs
The verses are good actually but I realllllly don't like the chorus, sadly. Final 3 are god tier and another level.
this is my second favorite jimmy eat world record after clarity now. when i listen to it i feel like it's carrying me
I gotta revisit this. I was thibking about listening to it earlier. Not sure why I passed up. Probably for The National haha. But this album has firmly been my second favorite from this band since it came out. Really came at a critical point in my life and felt like such a warm embrace. Means a lot to me.
listened to this for the first time in a while this evening and it absolute crushed me after the year I've had And I know when you feel trapped You're gonna do what you have to You see the problem was us Tried to bend love to the picture we had in our heads Just outright crying
