    Fucking gluttons


    If it’s not 45 min or longer it didn’t happen lololol
     
  2. In regards to the length, like, it's barely a minute shorter than Damage. It's not how long you make a record, it's what you do with that time, and Surviving gets a LOT done.

    Hey now. Look at you. Way cool.

    Is 555 the saddest, darkest song Jim has ever written? To me it is definitely up there. Or down there. It's brilliantly heartbreaking.

    I think variety can be a big part of it. You don’t want songs bleeding together. Record lengths used to way heavily on the medium it was recorded on to.

    CD’s kinda changed a lot. Lots of 90’s albums (alternative/rock/etc) are laced with the dreaded term “filler” because they had room and just felt unfocused at times.

    I think at this point we all just wanna hear Surviving.

    Was really hoping for a leak even though I know that's a huge long shot, but these length puns are a great way to pass time.

    As long as all 10 songs are great, 10 songs is fine. With a lot of other bands I actually do prefer longer albums so there's a better chance there are 10 to 12 songs that I actually like a lot, but that's never a problem with Jimmy Eat World.

    I don't like when albums are less than 10 short songs though.

  14. Favourites on the album: title track, Criminal Energy, Diamond, Congratulations. Singles are great and honestly All the Way (Stay) is pretty representative of the album as a whole in terms of its immediacy. Chase This Light fans are in for a great time.

    I got curious and had to google.
    This sounds incredible.

    I'm so glad i'm getting to see them at HMV on release day when I pick up my Vinyl.

    I don’t want to hear a song described like how this one has been for the first time in a live YouTube bootleg.

    Just over a week to go!

    Listened to just 30 seconds of the above clip. Audio quality aside, it sounds better than I could've imagined. I need this album now.

    Just interviewed Zach, and let me tell you, I had to stop myself from asking about Stephan Jenkins.

    You should have. Even if it was off record.

    I would have if I’d had a little more time. I only got 15 minutes.
