Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 652

It punches WAY above its price IMO, incredible instrument

 

I stand corrected! Thanks for the info.

 

I like the idea of collecting these songs and giving them a home, but man, I wish they'd made it a little more worth the price of a 12-inch vinyl record. Just do a full-fledged b-sides album! There's more than enough meat on that bone.

 

imagine getting open bar reception on vinyl

 

I'm here for these chunky tones on Failure - I think JEW could absolutely kill it in the grungegaze sound that a lot of bands are doing right now if they wanted to give it a shot.

 

Here's a box set for you.

 

are these playlists available to the public??

 

These are just in my iTunes. I don't know how much of this stuff is on streaming/has ever been officially released.

 

I listen to Open Bar Reception all the time, much more than I listen to any full JEW album

 

Not sure if it’s already come up here, but fans found a UK tour date listed for next summer. (Maybe through the venue’s site?)

Also, I thought it was widely accepted that Integrity Blues is the best “late period” Jimmy record. I have met people irl who share this sentiment. (Were they also big fans of the band? Yes. But are they on this site? No.)

And it seemed to do pretty well commercially. I heard Sure and Certain at restaurant a couple weeks back amid a playlist of other vaguely alternative pop rock.

 

It's their best album in my opinion.

 

A new album next summer would be surreal. The drought is over, we made it

 

The notion that the majority of diehard, career-long jimmy fans are on this website as opposed to not is silly. They have an extremely dedicated fanbase that extends widely beyond “this website”. Not to mention that Sure and Certain is one of their highest commercially performing singles post Futures.

Do the majority of people only know the middle and maybe sweetness? Sure. Does that atomically imply their smaller dedicated fanbase is tiny or obscure? Absolutely not.

They might be “small” compared to giant acts, but in the totality of the music industry, they are extremely successful, more so than “most” bands.

 

Thanks for sharing, your Donovan Woods one is great

 

Thanks! I do listen to that one pretty regularly.

 

I will say, due to this vinyl, I just found out about that black block letters hoodie and now I have a new thing to add to my Christmas list

 

I heard Sure and Certain in a Jimmy John’s one time. you could have knocked me over with a feather

 

a bit late on this one but Pain is an amazing song. a ton of energy on that track, the way the first chorus leads into the second verse, the way it transitions into Drugs or Me, “Anyone can make what I have built”, “It’s a false sense of accomplishment every time I quit”, the bridge, it’s all wonderful. I’ve heard Futures a million times and I still feel flushed with excitement every time The World You Love ends and the click of the drums start up. It’s a perfect centerpiece to the album and one of my biggest motivators to learn about tracklisting/sequencing/album flow and pay attention to how other albums from other bands do it

 

You don’t get “Pain” if you haven’t experienced it through Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition on PS2

 

Tony Hawk's Underground 2 would like a word!

 

I discovered Jimmy Eat World with Just Tonight on Burnout 3 Takedown for PS2.

 

Literally the only time I’ve ever discovered bands through a video game is when I started playing Tony Hawk 2 when it first came out.

 

Dragon Ball Z movies for me
