Jimmy Eat World - Surviving (October 18, 2019) Album • Page 80

only possible complaint I have before I finally shut up and let this thread carry on: why isn't "Recommit" like three minutes longer than it is??

 

Delivery isn’t getting enough love

Beautiful song beautiful lyrics

 

this record is magical

 

That might be my favorite right now. That or Recommit. I love the bridge in Delivery

 

They did it again. Recommit is my favourite so far, it has everything that I love about JEW.

 

i really want a Diamond music video

 

Let's all reflect, not only that we have a new Jimmy Eat World album, but that we have a new Fall Jimmy Eat World album.

 

The title track almost sounds like something off of fantasies by metric

 

Still think the orange is wack...lol

 

This is fantastic.

That jam at the end though... I was vibing with it hard.

 

Recommit feels like it could have been a closer to me. Similar to how the song Invented could have been a closer to me.

They aren’t, but other songs that work as a closer follow them, so I’m good with the ore closure feels and a sound shift to close out the album.

I’ll use another example of Gaslight Anthem’s Handwritten Or ‘59 Sound. Mae could have been closer or Here’s Looking at You Kid. Both songs close the feel of the album and allow for an awesome late shift. The acoustic National Anthem or right away in your face The Backseat. Also both great songs and closers.

Recommit could have ended it nice musically, but sets up the change for a more intense Congratulations. Win, Win.

 

I disagree on pretty much all counts, haha. I don’t think any of those songs are closers. They would all leave those records feeling unresolved, imo.

 

Where's the nice guy that would send us the lyrics? I would like to take a look

 

The Backseat is a great closer.....National Anthem, not so much.

 

Enjoying the album.

 

555 is gonna have me fucked up for a LONG time.

 

I have the same issue on my iPhone. It’s driving me insane.

 

It’s one of those “we’ll never know” because those others songs are there, and just my opinion. There are more examples of where I think this is done well.

 

I tried deleting the files and then re-uploading to no avail

oh well at least we get the official shit tn !!!!!!!!!!!

 

"Here's Looking at You, Kid" is really the one that I can't picture being a closer. Maybe on a very different, more downbeat record. That particular album needs to end with a bang.

 

Even albums I think are sequenced wrong I would rather rub sandpaper across my skin then actually mess with them, but the idea of fucking with The '59 Sound makes my stomach turn.

 

the famous line “Here’s Looking at You, Kid” from Casablanca is sort of a goodbye. Last song, hopeless romance, goodbye.

The punch of The Backseat at the end is fantastic.

 

No song sounds more like a closer than the backseat

 

The backseat slaps

 

no one is messing around with the end of ‘59 sound, or even suggesting it. I think you may need to re read what I was saying before getting upset.
