Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 345

Chase This light maybe does have a filler track or two in Electable and Feeling Lucky, but certainly not Here It Goes

 

I will not stand for any form of Electable slander.

Feeling Lucky is as close to a filler track as CTL has but it still rips.

 

yeah CTL is great all the way through! Electable and Here It Goes both rule.

 

I'm not the biggest CTL fan but even I won't stand for this Here It Goes heresy

Top 5 JEW track for me and should've been a certified mainstream hit

 

Feeling lucky is a banger. That and here it goes back to back is all kinds of good.
I think the only downer/filler on that album is gotta be somebodys blues. Just sucks the momentum outta the album imo.

 

Just like most bands - They've got plenty

 

The primary reason I don't like the song is because the 'Hey Hey Hey Hey' middle section is horribly cringey and the worst thing the band has ever recorded

IMO of course - Sorry I don't like every song by every good band, even the Beatles wrote some horrors

 

Splash turn and twist is as good as most of bleed american and one of the best jimmy eat world bsides

 

Hey Hey Hey Hey won't accept this critique or credit!

 

they really don’t

 

agreed and the same goes for “the most beautiful things”

 

I was thinking about albums, specifically from our scene/community, that had a lot of great b-sides and just showed a band/artist really firing on all cylinders during a particular era. The Ugly Organ and Worship & Tribute came to mind immediately but so did Futures which has I think 5 or 6 b-sides that range from decent (Jen) to great (the others) and ofc SOMST

BA and CTL are also in the discussion as far as stellar bsides go

 

sometimes i wish “shame” were on futures, that is how good it is

 

i think the best jimmy eat world bside is be sensible but i could be wrong

 

I haven’t heard any of their b-sides. Gimme a top 5 to check out.

 

my fav jimmy eat world b-side is the alternate/"demo" version of "your new aesthetic"

 

be sensible
disintegration
splash, turn and twist
my enemy
no sensitivity

hm: the most beautiful things


i dont think ive heard all of them though

 

Christmas Card, No Sensitivity, Shame, Be Sensible, My Enemy

 

I never really thought of SOMST as b sides just cos it works so well as it's own thing but Closer is a top 10 Jimmy for me

 

your new aesthetic (demo)
roller queen
the most beautiful things
splash turn twist
shame

 

shouts out to "step one" too

 

Open Bar Reception is their best b-side and none of you even mentioned it!

 

I will forever die on the hill that Closer > Disintegration.

 

agreed although both are incredible but "write my naaaame somewhere saaafe" + that guitar freakout? lord
