Jimmy Eat World - Surviving (October 18, 2019) Album • Page 29

Ok...I got CTL vibes initially, but the more I listen to this song, the more it reminds me of BA.

 

I see what you did there.

 

I'm also Jewish, and I don't have an issue with the use of the acronym.

 

New songs are great

I still think IB is a top 3 JEW album

 

IB is in my 3 spot.

Futures
CTL
IB

 

i listened to integrity blues today and it's probably my favorite

 

integrity blues means so much to me it's difficult to articulate

 

This is gonna be great. Really dig the new song and I paid very little attention to Love, Never (just a few listens) back when it first came out, so it's still fairly fresh to me.

 

Clarity, Integrity Blues, and Invented in that order for me as a top 3

The others all shift around and I love them all though

 

so much that they should stop why they're ahead?

 

honestly just what a ridiculous statement to make lol

 

I haven't really loved anything they've done since Chase This Light. The praise on here for IB is really cool but it also confuses the hell out of me to be honest. Oh well.

New song's ok. I don't hold much hope I'll ever love another JEW album but hey, Clarity-BleedAmerican-Futures is one of the best three album runs ever and CTL isn't far behind for me so I'm not too bothered.

 

I know a fair number of people who just really don't like Integrity Blues. I've always been a little confused by that.

 

I am probably Chase This Light, Futures, Bleed American, Integrity Blues.... but there is little separation so it’s like a 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and so on.

I love how so many fans have different favourites and rankings for their albums though. Also, just want to point out how most people’s favourites aren’t just limited to certain eras. Considering they are usually 3 years apart for an album, that’s impressive they can have favourites be over a decade apart.

Hopefully Surviving will crack some people’s Top 3.

 

Integrity Blues is damn near perfect, y’all. I didn’t know people could dislike that album?

 

Yeah IB is likely #2 after Futures for me

 

The new song just feels so triumphant and positive and I really need that in my life right now. And I like how the saxophone solo could have easily been a guitar solo but then they were like, “fuck it, it’s a saxophone solo now” and it’s so extra and cheerful and I love it.

 

so we going no comma or comma for "Love Never"

 

I like it better with a comma but it doesn't have one

Might just be more comfortable considering No, Never

 

IB Is a great album hands down.

 

People talk a lot about JEW's consistency, but I was thinking about how a lot of bands put out great records earlier in their career and then settle into a string of good or fine albums later on. My personal example of that is Death Cab. JEW, however, has an album #9 that could arguably be their strongest work, and I could honestly see an argument for any of their records (since Clarity) being their best. That's pretty cool.

 

new song.... yes. im feeling it. so catchy.
I enjoyed IB but definitely not in their top 3. youre not cracking Futures/Clarity/BA, but it was a great return to form after the craptastic "Damaged"
