Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 166

I'll play...

Damage > Futures = Clarity > Static Prevails > Bleed American > Chase This Light = Invented > Jimmy Eat World

 

im no longer mad at you since you have ctl first

 

"better than blink's early works" is quite the low bar heh


its a fun little record tho for sure

 

the national's debut is very good

 

Nah not to me

 

Switch Bleed American and Futures and that's my ranking.

 

tell me u love sad songs tho

 

Oh yeah definitely super underrated. It's not quite as good as the last 4 but it's got some amazing songs

 

Is available on sad songs? Cause that song is fucken great

 

Just got tickets for the Glasshouse show on 10/27!

 

yup

 

i think its up there honestly even if its not my favorite of all those albums it definitely holds its own in their discog.


but they are like a top 5 band of all time for me

 

im listening to damage right now and i always forget that "howd you have me" is also one of their best songs ever, in addition to "i will steal you back"

 

How'd you have me is probably my favorite post CTL song

 

i never really noticed it before but damage as a whole kind of reminds me of bleed american in some respects

 

How do you mean? I don't get that at all

 

top 5 post-ctl songs

heart is hard to find
i will steal you back
invented
howd you have me
stop(? maybe,.....)

 

the more upbeat songs anyway like "no, never" remind me of stuff like...."praise chorus" kind of. spiritually. in terms of feel.

 

Maybe I'll listen to damage again today w that in mind

 

hard to explain...there just a certain energy im picking up on

 

it kind of makes sense to me in the sense that some people always say invented is kind of like clarity or an updated clarity, and damage is the follow up to that the way BA was the follow up to clarity. not exact parallels but just something about the feel of those albums

 

Huh. I've actually never heard that about clarity/invented, although, like, in terms of structure I totally get it. I'd liken invented to futures personally but that's a cool thought. Gonna just run thru this band's whole discog today instead. That sounds better

 

the reason the clarity parallel was always there is because the band kind of hinted at it themselves, plus theres a tom song and they went with the same producer

 

I didn't know they hinted at it. That's super coo

 

im pretttttty sure they said they went with trombino to capture some of that same energy they had with clarity. plus they did the clarity shows in 2009 so the album was fresh on their minds im sure when they were recording.
