Jimmy Eat World - Integrity Blues (October 21, 2016) Album • Page 238

invented was my secret favorite jimmy eat world album before integrity blues came out.

 

Invented still doesn’t click with me. At this point I just don’t see it ever doing so. I’ll continue to listen to it when I do a full discography listen, but that’s it.

 

I totally realise not everyone can have the same emotional attachment to the album but damn

- that piano in Littlething, going perfectly into maybe the band's best solo
- the lyrics in Movielike
- Evidence absolutely blowing your nuts off 2 minutes in
- the cascading harmonies going everywhere in the bridges of Heart and Cut
- Tom Linton lead vox fuck yeah
- the way Jim and Courtney's vocals fall in and out of sync on the title track, especially the second verse
- actually; forget all these other points just the title track

 

five words: heart is hard to find

 

I was not a fan of Invented when it came. In the years since, I've come to really, really adore that record. It's so damn good. And the title track is one of their best songs.

 

Invented the song woooooo

 

It's a good album but I couldn't agree less on those two points. Evidence is as boring as JEW gets, and Linton showed on his only track why he's not a lead vocalist

 

"evidence" is an amazing song. kinda subtle though

 

I was so mad... the first time I saw JEW was on the Invented tour and they started playing the title track like 2 dates after the Chicago show. That shit would have been EPIC.

 

i've def posted this here before but sometimes to make invented a more seamless listen i remove "my best theory," "higher devotion," and "action" from the tracklisting (even though i love all three)

 

Coffee and cigarettes is one of my least favorite JEW songs. Just never have liked it. I like every other song on that album though.

 

Evidence has gotta be one of their most dynamic tracks - boring? really? I disagree about as strongly as I can

I can see not liking Tom's vocals, although I've always had a soft spot for them. He's a got a real grit that's totally different to Jim and it's awesome

 

the dead from fillmore east
and otis redding's greatest hits!

 

Some blasphemous stuff going on right now but if we can all agree heart is hard to find is flawless we good

 

the production on invented is so good, one of the few rock records i can think of that sounds... effervescent

 

"heart is hard to find" is one of the best songs ever

 

SAME, glad to meet someone like me finally

 

moar Tom vox plz

 

my man! hoping you dig Static Prevails cos it's insanely underrated. like Claire, Digits, Anderson Mesa and In The Same Room are up there in their discog

 

honestly Tom would have slayed "Lean" and "Step One", possibly better than Jim did. I hope they give him some more leads in the future yea

 

Static Prevails is such a great scrappy record. It's not as polished or mature (obviously) as their later stuff but I still jam that thing all the time. Rockstar always has a permanent place in my heart, in the place where teenage me still lives on. I will belt that shit out in the car regularly.

 

i do! "digits" is one of my absolute favorite jimmy eat world songs

 

I always thought Evidence was underrated. It’s definitely one of my top Jimmy songs. Might only be my fourth favorite on Invented though, that album is stacked

 

Evidence goes nowhere for me. Is there more than 3 chords in that song?

I think they'd work better on a different track - "Action Needs An Audience" just wasn't it

 

As far as Tom songs go, I like Blister but Action is a total throwaway imo
