Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 376

I’m old enough to remember when this was tweeted

 

I think he said the same thing about the second track, too.

 

slightly different gif, but yeah lol

 

Hope they have some cool b sides from the new album as well, or some acoustic versions.

 

Gonna have to go ahead and disagree with whoever said that Jim's vocal on "Dizzy" acoustic is better than the studio version. Both are great, but his singing on the studio version is the best he's ever sounded, IMO. He sings the absolute shit out of it, and it's not an easy song to sing.

 

I always thought he sounded much more emotional on the acoustic version.

I will admit though that I also like the slightly changed lyric a lot more on the acoustic one. It makes much more sense to me. That may play a factor.

 

It very well may be his best vocal performance ever and that’s really saying something

 

You guys are going to make me go listen to "Dizzy" right now...

Also, I think we all know that slam dunk GIF is going to apply to the whole damn album!

 

I just did it. Both versions.

I think I have always drastically discounted just how fucking great of a vocal performance Jim gives on the actual album version of "Dizzy". It is definitely one for the ages.

I can safely say that I don't think either version of the song is 'better' now- they are both absolutely amazing - but the actual album version certainly fits the album much better.

One of the best songs ever.

 

I do like the changed lyric more as well. But everything else about the studio version just kills me. It's such a massive-sounding song, and Jim is just going for it.

 

The song always makes me think about a relationship that is coming apart - a very specific one for me, if I am being honest - and I know we sure as hell didn't talk about much at that point, but we certainly talked around worlds of shit.

 

Dizzy = great song

Jimmy Eat World knows to close records. 23, and a bunch of other goodness. It doesn’t even feel like they do it on purpose.

 

Just want to say I love this band with all my heart

 

Jimmy E, Yellowcard/WRK, Thrice/Dustin and any Brian Fallon project/Gaslight/Crowes always seem to have great closers.

 

more nakedness and vulnerability to his voice in the acoustic version. the studio version sounds perfect because it was designed to be perfect. the acoustic version is flawed which is what makes it appealing.

 

Literally his vocal performance in the last verse of the original studio version is unreal. An absolute top moment of their discography. The production and everything on that track is perfect.

I wonder the story behind "about" vs. "around" in the two versions

 

Both are great and fit the instrumentation of that version.

 

the version on the album makes more sense as the closer but i'm glad both exist

 

This still makes a fantastic album.

 

Imagine if they'd thrown the Stay On My Side Tonight tracks onto Futures instead

 

Honestly surprised they haven't released a b-side compilation album yet

 

same

 

Is this the one I made a few years ago? Looks like about the same order. I haven’t listened to that playlist in a bit, but I remember loving it.

 

Yup. I’m pretty sure you shared the track listing. It’s great lol

 

whoa whoa whoa whoa... whoa!!!
