I'll play... Damage > Futures = Clarity > Static Prevails > Bleed American > Chase This Light = Invented > Jimmy Eat World
Oh yeah definitely super underrated. It's not quite as good as the last 4 but it's got some amazing songs
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"
i never really noticed it before but damage as a whole kind of reminds me of bleed american in some respects
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.
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
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.
