Chase This Light

 

Agreed. I went to Clarity last and definitely took the longest for it to resonate with me.

 

Listening to Chase This Light for the first time in a very long time. Definitely loving this way more than I ever have. It's a great album

 

As someone who had never heard more than their singles for the past decade and a half, I started with Chase This Light.


From where you are now though? I'd recommend listening in order from Bleed American through Damage.

I'm still a new fan though. Only been in JEWDAISM for a couple of weeks.

 

Okay, i was between Clarity and Futures, so Futures and on it is then. Thanks!

 

i didnt hear clarity until nearly 6 or 7 years into being a fan of them

 

Enjoy! One of my all time favorites

 

clarity is my least favorite outside of static. it's very good, i like almost every song on it, but i just don't connect with it like i do every other album of theirs.

 

i listen to it the least besides static. the title track is still one of their best songs though.

 

Clarity was my first Jimmy album and it's my favorite

 

I mean, y'all know my stance on Clarity but ya.

Futures is even with Clarity for me at this point. After that the others are just equal I can separate them

 

Even with what?

 

Meant to put Clarity I'm on mobile lol

 

If I ever say another Jimmy Eat World album is better than Futures, that's how you guys will know that I've been replaced by a robot imposter.

 

maybe the new one will be

 

Same. Never even considered the possibility.

 

As a whole, I enjoy Invented better than Futures.





yeah i said it 1v1 me

 

I actually prefer Chase This Light, Invented and Damage to Futures.

 

As high as futures' highs are, there are, imo, some of their lowest lows. Granted, they've got, maybe, one bad song from 96 til now (and it isn't on that album), so that's not saying much

 

So you're saying Futures is your third favorite?

 

this will only end in rankings

 

Y'all are obviously entitled to those opinions. But Futures is maybe the most important album in the world to me, so it's pretty much impossible for me not to view it as head and shoulders above everything else they've ever done. I know they will never make a record I love more and I'm okay with that.

 

Agreed. But I'm open for it to be topped, but I just don't find it likely.

 

For me, Jimmy Eat World topping Futures is roughly as likely as Springsteen topping Born to Run: it ain't gonna happen, but I'm happy to watch them try.

 

Chase This Light and Futures are essentially the same for me and also Bleed American is extremely close behind because I got into them when I got it at like 10 years old
