Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 507

if these were bundled as 'volume one of phoenix sessions', i'd totally drop a hundy for these three on vinyl

 

Yeah they could easily sell this 3-pack for over a hundy. Each one a 2xLP most liklely, probably looking at $129 at least for the set. (Would pay)

 

absolutely

 

Futures and Clarity are perfect. I've learned to appreciate the moments off CTL, IB, and Invented that I wasnt big on that was surrounded by pure brilliance. BA is also incredibly made but Get It Faster is probs my least fav post Clarity song. Surviving is consistently good but only a handful of top tier songs so it doesn't touch my favorites. Damage is just good.

 

Good song musically but the lyrics are distractingly bad

"They'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'" no Jim, no they won't say that, no one has ever said that

Very, very clunky song for a band with not many of those

 

Hot take! I love that lyric. But to each their own :)

 

Yeah not seeing an issue with that lyric at all. That whole song kicks ass.

 

Believe it or not, song lyrics are not always written to sound like normal everyday speech. Doesn’t make them “clunky.”

 

Only clunky Jimmy lyric is "don't you feel my eye lasers hit"

 

Yeah that one’s bad.

 

if you push me over, it's over!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I love that line specifically lol

 

seriously though, while that song has a lot of lyrical blunders, "psychic screaming" is a goldmine of a phrase. such a good pair of words

 

Well, I'm on record saying Big Casino is my favorite song of theirs, so you can probably guess my thoughts on this lol. Gotta Be Somebody's Blues is a song I have always dug for some reason. I will always listen to that.

 

Chase This Light's only sins are sins of omission!

 

People getting extremely hung up on perfectly fine lyrics is my favorite Chorus.fm bit.

 

Don't get me started on Mary's dress waving

 

Throwing speedballs by ya in here this evening.

 

In the "CTL lyrics that are better than anyone else" category.

You said you'd never have regrets
Jesus, is there someone yet
Who got their wish; did you get yours, babe?

 

Maybe I’m just biased since I was there, but I still prefer the Clarityx10 recording over the Phoenix Sessions. I do love the video though. That adds a lot. I wish the Clarityx10 show was on streaming too!

 

“jimmy eat world isn't even FROM new jersey”

 

I too would love to hear Damage with good production for the first time
