Jimmy Eat World - Surviving (October 18, 2019) Album • Page 94

The very beginning makes me think of Dizzy more than anything haha

 

I don't recall ever having working tracking info from KR. I've also only gotten a shipping notification email once, and it was sent the day my order actually arrived.

 

Sorry I am late to the game but man this album is solid! I love 555 and Congratulations... Will be spinning this one more often!

 

Went for a jog with my son in the stroller with this on. It was a good jog. Criminal Energy really got me moving.

Also I found out I’m verrrrry out of shape lol

 

There are soooo many songs/parts of songs I hear/sing during this album. Shoulda called it recycling instead of surviving lol

 

There are also a ton of very unique and new ideas on here.

 

I feel like this feels as fresh as possible while still being distinctly them

 

Am I off base for considering adding this entire album to my “Best Songs of 2019” playlist on Spotify?

 

I’ve seen bad takes, but man is the “recycling” one of the worst yet.

 

As soon as the song ended on my first listen I added it to my incredibly long running playlist. I was like, “this is gonna be a great add” and on a run today I was proven right

 

Any takes on if the first line of Congratulations (“There’s no clarity in front of me”) is a call back or in any way connecting to the album Clarity or is it just a line in a song?

Guessing it’s just a line in a song but I like to think it’s more than that

 

I will say tho I wanna sing “the picture in my head is just too real” in delivery

 

I’m kinda with you because he goes on to sing “a threat to future earnings.”

 

If a band you discovered 15 years ago still writes and releases songs you can listen and relate to, it's the right one.

Jimmy Eat World is one of those bands.

 

Yes

 

I’ve been listening to this alllll weekend. Fucking love it! I’ll just do my rankings now:



Futures
Integrity Blues
Bleed American
Chase This Light
Surviving
Invented
Clarity
Damage
Static Prevails
Jimmy Eat World


Top 5 from Surviving:
Criminal Energy
One Mill
555
All The Way
Congratulations

 

In a thread of absolutely infuriating takes that’s probably the top

 

I knew I had it in me lol

For real though...I love the album. It was very much a corny budumchk or amirite comment and not a “take.” Put ya hate grenades away.

 

I'm disappointed at not really enjoying this. I haven't really been into a JEW release since Chase This Light so maybe it's just me.

 

I don’t think it adds any positivity to criticize other ppls opinions, but it does divide the room and make some folks feel bad

That kinda attitude reminds me of a song i heard once


Don't hide your face
What you were before
Doesn't have to be
You any more
Maybe you've been scared
And that's what you know
And all the shame
Gonna call you home
It's gonna call you home

It never was your fault
But still a part you played
You carry it so close
You can read it's name
In a lot of ways
You're still that lost kid
Yeah, you could still survive
But not exactly live
No, not exactly live

Gonna stand this cold
Gonna see it out
Never define yourself
What choice is left there to make?
If no one said it yet
It would be a shame
It ends right now
You never wanted the pain
Never wanted the pain


I can’t seem to remember the artist...

 

Recommit is best imo.

 

Machete/knife slide (not familiar with the correct terminology for what was used)

 

Top 5 from Surviving

Recommit
Congratulations
Diamond
Love Never
Criminal Energy

For me it's on a par with Chase This Light which is somewhere in the middle of my top of JEW albums.

 

picking up little nods to their other albums/songs here and there


"never wanted the pain"
"there's no clarity in front of me"

any others?

 

"I cut at least half of my friends
But no one noticed or mentioned"


Obviously a reference to Cut
