20 years removed from "High/Low" and their hit "Popular", these guys still consistently put out great records.
I'm a big fan of Stars are Indifferent and the new album. Any recommendation for what I listen to next?
Stars was my first listen for them and then I went to Lucky. I really enjoyed that record. The new one is decent but I'd go to Lucky before I went to the new one.
My sister has had "High/Low" on cd since it came out in 1996, and it was the only album I really ever listened to by them until this past year when I finally decided to listen to all their following releases. Sure glad I did.
Love the heck out of this band. Ideal pop rock songwriting... and beautiful production sound on all their records, especially The Weight Is a Gift (I'm biased, I think Chris Walla is one of the best rock producers out there) This is controversial on this site but I would even say Nada Surf > Jimmy Eat World. Nada just has a ton of excellent songs, less "average" material than JEW has
Call me crazy but I think Proximity Effect comes very close to being up there with Futures and better than all JEW's other records. I'm listening to it right now and seriously every song is fantastic.
Jammed to 'The Weight is a Gift' and 'Lucky' on my way to explore Joshua Tree. Fitting for that environment.
I find Nada Surf consistent but not great. I enjoy a few songs off almost every album, although absolutely nothing off of The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy clicked with me. This one off their latest album did though, and great video to boot
About as much as this post has to do with anything weeks/months later They are my two favorite pop-rock bands, I recently realized I get more of a pull from Nada Surf. Not really trying to say anything that crazy.
