Invented rules, to leave it out of any discussion regarding this band's best albums would be criminal.
I played that for my kids (3.5 year-olds) the other day when they were having a “dance party” and they were into it.
I will preface this post with the fact that I consider Jimmy Eat World to be a top 5 band all time. With that, the singles, album art, music video, pre-orders, etc haven't grabbed me in any capacity. I'm optimistic about the full record, but a bit bummed going into it.
I think the high points of Invented (Heart is Hard to Find, Evidence, Movie-like, Invented, Mixtape) are amongst some of the best in their career. As a whole though, I would put it behind Clarity, Futures, CTL, and BA.
I’d like to point out this will be the first album since Futures where the first track is the title track.

I saw two live shows on the Integrity Blues tour and people lost their minds for Sure & Certain; it was awesome!
One of my absolute favorite songs from them. It’s actually perfect and I will take no dissenting opinions, thanks
Always felt this could have been a huge bubblegum pop hit song by a Cyndi Lauper kind of singer from the 80’s. I mean that as compliment.
