Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 318

jimmy eat world are just masters of album sequencing in general. first track, second track, middle of the album, pentultimate, last track. doesn’t matter they all bang

 

This came up as a Facebook "memory" from last year. I'm jamming this so hard at work.

 

My top 2 would definitely be A Praise Chorus and Kill. Not sure what number 3 would be.

You didn't even include their best track 2.

 

Damage?

(I kid)

 

Gun to my head, my top three songs are 23, Cautioners, and I guess You with Me. But there’s like ten songs I could have picked for the last one

 

Top 3: 23, A Praise Chorus, and Blister

But there's a whole bunch that could potentially fit in there as well, depending on the day...

 

23, Tables For Glasses, Work? God idk.

 

I remember posts exactly like this when they were writing IB!

Edit: oh and also

 

Are those words on that paper cause I swear it's just nonsensical scribble

 

He could definitely have a second career as a doctor haha

 

Futures is probably the most important album that I’ve heard in my life, on a personal level. It’s extrenely tempting to call it my favorite album of all time at this point. Easily the most important when I consider what it did for me throughout the most formative years of my life and how it still hits me like a god damn truck at 26 years old. The emotions and feelings conveyed through the music and the lyrics is simple enough that I was deeply affected by the album at age 12, but those emotions have so much raw power behind them that all these years later I’m still finding new things all over the entire record to fall in love with. Songs take on new meanings constantly as I experience new things in life. That’s how you know a record is special. It’s an album that not only changed how I viewed all of music when I was really young but it helped shape how I would go on to view myself and the world around me.

 

I used to view drugs or me in a resentful way. For a long, long time I did. Recently I stopped and thought about how my loved ones must feel when they watch me destroy myself time and time again and then the lyrics made complete and total sense to me and they helped me understand what my loved ones feel even more. It was one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had with a song and it happened about two weeks ago

 

My ex is an addict and he always hated that song too. That and Katy perry's circle the drain which I guess is a more insensitive approach but ngl when we broke up I listened to that song loud like a lot. Both of them rly. Glad you're in a better place bb and u have an awesome support system when u need it

 

"why are we still so afraid? the things we do deserve their rightful names"

 

Most underrated song of theirs for me would have to be Lean. That song is a jam.

 

yesss!!!

 

Lean rules, as does pretty much all of Damage, such an underrated collection of songs that get overlooked due to production reasons probably?

 

Once I got past Damage's production and really took a deep dive into the meanings and flow of the album, it's ranked much higher on my list. It's very versatile for me in which I can listen to it in the background and focus or really listen to it to help cope with recovering from an abusive relationship because it's so damn honest. This band can do no wrong.

 

I can't pick only three songs, so I'm going to cop out and pick my three favorite releases:

Futures
Stay on My Side Tonight
Integrity Blues

 

I hate the way I feel but I don't think I can change

 

My 3 favorite releases are:

Futures
Clarity
Everything else

 

Damage rocks. How’d you have me is an all timer for sure

 

It’s frustrating that damage gets looked over by casual fans because of the production because the production is fantastic for the songs, it’s just not big glossy pop like we’ve been accustomed to from them since bleed american so it’s off putting to people who aren’t ride or dies

 

imagine getting another perfect record from this band

 

don’t tease me I’m just now coming to terms with the fact that integrity blues is their second best record
