Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 319

updated album ranking because it’s changed for the first time in at least a few years


futures
integrity blues
chase this light
bleed american
invented
clarity
damage
static prevails

 

i can’t even do it anymore, they’re all too important

 

I have two extremes with a pair of JEW albums...

I’ve listened to Futures countless times, and Damage zero times.

Don’t shame me.

 

Futures
Chase This Light
Bleed American
Integrity Blues
Damage
Clarity
Invented

But ranking them doesnt do them justice I feel, as even Invented is incredibly solid overall.

 

you should


listen to Damage

 

I will always be here for Damage love

 

I haven’t intentionally avoided it. It just came out at a time when I kinda removed myself from most music that was coming out at that time. A lot of music from bands I loved started sounding so tired and like retreads or watered down versions of themselves, and I just started listening to a lot of podcasts or digging into the older albums in artists’ discographies.

Then, when my pessimism ended, I kinda just left it behind and have never thought to go back and listen. I will remedy this offense soon.

 

Every album after static is at least a 9

 

After all these years, you'd think I've become accustomed to the three-year cycle of releases from Jimmy, but waiting another year for another album feels especially long this time around for some reason.

 

this is my favorite band ever

 

Own that shame bruh.

 

I shoulda been more clear. I meant to say “don’t shame me, because I am incapable of feeling shame.”

 

I shoulda been more clear. Listen to Damage you coward

 

Damn. Now I have to.

 

at the very least, just like a little low key positive detail, no big deal, but “Appreciation” is one of the best songs i’ve ever heard in my entire fucking life but like it’s chill

 

“You Were Good” is so underrated too

 

I will steal you back is probably the best single they ever released

 

THANK YOU HONEY FOR REMINDING ME
HOW LONG YOU CAN STAY WITH SOMEONE
AND NEVER SEE

is one of the best opening lines to a song ever, it just HOOKS YOU GODDAMN IN

 

Damn...I can’t participate in this album appreciation. Talk about Futures again!

 

Speaking of shame... That's a great B-Side from Futures.

 

Shame is perfect

 

are you alone like me?
alone but not lonely

 

God, Damage still wrecks me. "Please Say No," underrated heart-crusher.

 

The Book of Love is Fiction

 

Integrity Blues was my first album cycle with Jimmy Eat World.

I am happy to be on this train now for good.

Gimme that new album!
