Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 435

my best theory doesn’t fit and it’s why invented is an album for conmen

 

I love the accursed Invented

do not trust me

 

my best theory was a decent enough hit to remind me the band existed after the middle and led to me being a fan so I’m okay with it

 

Action Needs An Audience is the one that doesn’t fit

 

neither fit and neither are very good

 

i like "action" but i don't think having a throwback to the clarity sequencing served the album that invented is

 

Drop Coffee and Cigarettes and Action Needs An Audience and Invented as a whole gets bumped up in my album rankings.

 

Wow, I think Coffee and Cigarettes is my favorite song on there. But I can't stand a few I know people like so it's all good.

 

i love them as a band but sequencing hasn’t been their strong suit since futures

 

I don't think any of their records are sequenced too badly. I think they often start off pretty weird though

 

the sequencing of chase this light in particular bothers me

 

why is that? always thought that one was one of the best sequenced lol

 

the placement of let it happen and electable bother me but gotta be somebody’s blues in the middle of the album instead of the end is a crime

 

Big Casino -> Let It Happen is the same as Futures -> Just Tonight. It fits perfectly as the second track.

Surviving -> Criminal Energy also fits this

 

The interesting thing for me as a huge fan (and I agree Kyle, certainly one of the if not the most consistent band - especially live) is that I am almost completely enamored by a jimmy song (like “holy shit, classic”) or an absolute pass. For some reason my body won’t allow middle of the road stuff from this band lol

 

also Action Needs An Audience rules and so does My Best Theory, grow up

 

Was just gonna post that. Two of my favorite songs on the album.

 

Will never understand the distaste for My Best Theory. Without that song, the album has no lead single. Song was a hit and it is really catchy. Nothing wrong with that. Easily the most memorable riff on the album.

 

I think probably half the album would've made a better lead single

 

I bet I could make an entire LP of beloved songs I just don’t dig lol ah, the way of the world

 

“without that song the album has no lead single” yes, because it isn’t a very good album lol

 

I bet a record of everyone’s 12 least favorite JEW songs might make for a killer release lol

 

A record of my least favorite JEW songs would still be better than, like, 99.9% of whatever else gets put out by any currently-active artists

 

I'm hoping for some new music soon. Even if it's just a single or EP.

 

That’s... kind of how I feel as well. I think it’s a highlight on a very bland record. I’m happy there’s a group of fans on here that have clung hard to it, but it’s definitely one of the times where this website has a group of fans with unpopular opinions that I just cannot get behind lol. I always say that I love riffy, catchy jimmy eat world, and outside of a couple songs, this album doesn’t have anything for me. Even after I try to revisit it from time to time, it just falls flat. Maybe our ears are broken.
