    Truly unbelievably good. The mix fits the songs so well, they sound like the way they should have always been performed.

    This. I love Jimmy, but could never fully get into Clarity and could not figure out why. This performance solved this. Literally been 20 years for me of not listening to Clarity. Today, listened to it more times than my entire life.

    Vinyl please, now ... I remember listening to Clarity on Repeat, when it came out and this totally does it justice and feels great and natural to hear it all performed ...

    Some of these songs in particular sound excellent here. Definitely the best "Table" and "Crush" I've heard to name a couple.

    D'oh! Prestigious

    I love how Clarity sounds in its original version, so here I was just impressed with most of it, but I wouldn't take it over the other one, it was a giant of a record that I admire to this day.

    I wonder if they do something like a Bleed American, Integrity Blues and Chase This Light (or any 3 album combo) as another Phoenix session if it’s profitable enough for them. I definitely worked in a lockdown world, and I do think the interest would be there again for Ben though they are back touring.

    Death Touches Us, From the Moment we Begin to Love Supporter

    Back in the spring of 2000 I was on the tail end of graduating high school. Just discovered The Get Up Kids "Something To Write Home About" and was getting into emo the past fall. (I was big into nu metal and bands like Blink and Mxpx, at the time)

    I remember watching Blink 182's TUC on VHS and Tom mentioning one of his favourite bands was Jimmy Eat World and told myself to check them out. I saw the album Clarity at HMV and decided to give it a go. I didn't know what to think at first. By the time I got to "For Me This Is Heaven" I knew I had stumbled onto something magical.

    It's become my all time favorite album. (alongside Siamese Dream, Something To Write Home About, and Transatlanticism)

    This live recording sounds brilliant!
