I'm bored waiting for the new album. So here's a game.

Make up a playlist from their best track 1, their best track 2, their best track 3, etc. Which album has the greatest representation in your playlist? Clarity is cheating because it has 13 songs. I haven't included the debut album, sorry. Here are the tracks (my chosen tracks are in bold):

1.

Table for Glasses
Bleed American

This is how my playlist stacks up:

1. Clarity

6. Damage
7. Bleed American
8. Futures
9. Bleed American
10. Static Prevails

No surprises for me that Invented didn't get a look-in. Futures wins for me, which doesn't surprise me too much. Some of those were really hard to choose between.

 

Appreciation
A Praise Chorus
Work
Carry You
Sweetness
Crush
You Are Free
Ten
Just Watch the Fireworks
For Me This is Heaven
23
Clarity
Goodbye Sky Harbor


This was.... uh.... hard af

 

Damn, I think we only agreed on 23 (and Goodbye Sky Harbor by default).

 

There were a couple I could have gone with at least two or three of the choices. Band is real good.

 

Table For Glasses
Let It Happen
Always Be
Kill
A Sunday
Hear You Me
You Are Free
The End Is Beautiful
Cut
For Me This Is Heaven
Dizzy

That would make for a very gentle album.

 

Big Casino
Sure and Certain
It Matters
Kill
Sweetness
Crush
12.23.95

Woof. Some of those were brutal.

Polaris (Here it goes close second)
Chase This Light
For Me This is Heaven

Be Sensible (I consider this bonus track track 12 on chase this light)
Goodbye Sky Harbor

This was fun.

 

choosing between these songs should be forbidden by law

My Sundown
23
Dizzy
Invented
Pol Roger

 

Jesus fucking Christ. Yeah, no thank you. Five perfect songs, right there.

 

23. It’s not even close.

 

1. You With Me
2. Lucky Denver Mint
3. Work
4. Kill
5. A Sunday
6. Get Right
7. How'd You Have Me
8. Polaris
9. Through
10. Firefight
11. Dizzy
12. Mixtape
13. Goodbye Sky Harbor

I dunno, this was hard.

 

Bleed American
A Praise Chorus
Work
Kill
I Will Steal You Back
Pain
Stop
Get It Faster
Chase This Light
The Authority Song
23
Mixtape
Goodbye Sky Harbor

Yeah that was tough. I think No. 2 was the hardest for me and choosing between 23 and Dizzy should be illegal.

 

Band knows how to close an album. I’d also say, I’d have a tough time picking a favourite Jimmy song in general, because it depends on the mood one is in.

 

Perfect timing as always. As soon as it gets cold here, a little too cold for walking around, we’ll get a new JEW album and I might take a road trip to the mountains just to listen to it. Frost on the windshield, dead leaves everywhere, NHL season just gearing up... it all falls into place

 

1) Table For Glasses
2) A Praise Chorus
3) Work
4) Carry You
5) Movielike
6) Crush
7) You Are Free
8) Ten
9) Just Watch The Fireworks
10) For Me This Is Heaven
11) 23
12) Mixtape
13) Goodbye Sky Harbor

 

Each one was super hard and then I had to pick between "Work" and "Always Be" on the 3rd round and I gave up

 

I felt the same between those two.

 

Not a huge fan of invented. The first three however are perfect and Pol Roger is also quite good.

 

you with me
a praise chorus
your new aesthetic
your house (2009 version) - i know i'm cheating... SO??
pass the baby
coffee and cigarettes

damn, this is a bloody good playlist and compilation of most of their career.

That’s why they call it fall!

Without thinking hard. First instinct:

Call It in the Air

Electable (Give It Up)

Hear You Me

You Are Free
