We're gonna go "public" with this next week (maybe) but we're posting in more places than before for a sorta beta stage. We have used the internet's premiere (as far as we could tell) bias sorter to create what seems to be a fairly accurate way to rank your favorite songs by Jimmy Eat World. THIS WILL TAKE A LONG WHILE as we've put EVERY RECORDED SONG in this list. But, if you have time and wanna play along, here ya go! Let us know if something seems amiss! Jimmy Sort World I wish there were a more elegant way to share your list outside of screen-shotting it so if you know of something we haven't thought of, we're all ears!
So complaining on the internet lead to them releasing a Snyder Cut of Justice League. Will complaining about releasing all the songs from the Surviving sessions get us a deluxe rerelease? Seriously though, I’d love to hear those other songs they sounded like they worked on. Based on the bands bsides history there has to be some goods songs on there.
I don’t Twitter or anything, but if someone has a way to reach out to the band and let them know people are interested it’s be great. Ive been doing a big Jimmy discography run and I really love how robust the eras feel when the deluxe versions are released.

What I'm taking from this so far is I really need to listen to S/T and Static Prevails more since I don't know those songs well at all.
Thank you thank you! How do you feel it shook out vs your knee-jerk top songs list were you to list on your own?
Pretty close! Songs that I expected to be at a certain spot on the list were generally in that range. Individual slots are probably a little less accurate, for example the bracket has Lucky Denver Mint above Fireworks and For Me This Is Heaven, but Idk how you get that granular unless you do like double the matchups lol
I can’t believe how low FMTIH was on my list. If I take it again, it’ll be the same too 25 in a different order, I’m sure of it. Thanks for playing!
It's funny how my top 25 is only stuff from Static through Futures. I thought something post-Futures would have snuck its way into the top 25, but guess not, haha.
