Jimmy Eat World - Surviving (October 18, 2019) Album • Page 35

I gotta give Static Prevails some attention sometime. It’s the only officially released album from them that I don’t like tbh

 

They keep calling this their tenth album and it’s making me feel wrong that I have yet to hear their self titled debut, is it really that bad?

 

Not at all. It's a decent pop punk album. Think early blink.

 

Their self-titled is so far above early blink that it has to wear a space suit

 

I have never listened to their first release and I don't plan on it tbh

 

I, like the band, pretend it doesn’t exist.

 

through should've been a single from integrity blues. the catchiest song theyve ever written in my opinion.

 

Lots of band first records really don’t represent who they become.

 

thrice - identity crisis
converge - halo in a haystack
thursday - waiting


to name a few bands i love whose first albums ive listened to maybe once

 

I've still never listened to Identity Crisis, come to think of it

 

i kinda like waiting

 

if youre telling me that you have ever put on waiting when thinking "i want to listen to thursday right now," you are a liar

 

i mean it’s not the first one i reach for but occasionally i do get the urge to listen to it yeah

 

Thrice’s Identity Crisis came to mind for me too. Yellowcard pre One For The Kids. Jimmy’s Static. Blink’s really early stuff. There a lot one could throw into the category.

 

i fail to believe it sry!!!

 

I like Waiting, but I never listen to it because the rest of the band's discography is amazing. Tough to get any kind of love with that competition.

 

y'all writing off the first album are missing out on the absolute banger that is "Scientific", sorry to say

 

Chevelle's first album comes to mind. It's not terrible but it's nothing that they didnt do much much better on the next few albums.

 

Wait...what’s wrong with Waiting???

 

Thursday’s Waiting has This Side Of Brightness on it though, which is one of my favorite Thursday songs. I also like a handful of stuff from blinks Buddha and Yellowcard’s One For The Kids (Uh October Nights anyone?) so those aren’t total misses either.

 

Honestly when I was growing up I thought it was very commonplace for your first record to suck haha

 

La Dispute’s first album is like that for me

 

nothing just have no clue why someone would listen to it over any other thursday record

 

Incoming hot take: I think Tell All Your Friends is bad compared to what TBS became afterwards with WYWTB and Louder Now.

 

Fair enough, but it’s still pretty damn good. In my opinion you can’t compare Thursday’s first album to JEW’s first album considering Jim doesn’t even really sing on the first JEW album.

I wouldn’t put Thursday in the category of dismissing bands’ first albums.
