Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 607

Been listening to Integrity Blues a lot lately. I kinda think it might be my favorite album of theirs at this point, at least certainly up there with Bleed American and Futures.

 

I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard Sure and Certain for the first time. A classic.

 

i saw the tour for IB, they played these 4

• Get Right
• Pass the Baby
• Sure and Certain
• You Are Free

wish they played more! such a great album, but i dunno if they play much off it these days, i haven't seen them in some years.

 

Integrity Blues is the band's coolest record since Clarity. Their experimentation in sounds and tones is used to up their already classic sound and I think it pays off in spades. I always have nothing but love for that record and it has some of my favorite Jim lyrics on it.

 

i remember when it came out, they compared pass the baby to black sabbath , i was like whoa, i gotta hear this jimmy album! it definitely blew damage away!

 

I always see Integrity Blues as Clarity's spiritual successor and it deserves to be regarded as one of their best for sure

 

Integrity Blues rocks so much

 

Yeah it’s in my top 4. Idk I seriously love every JEW album and the difference in quality between bleed American, futures, chase this light and integrity blues is quite literally just splitting hairs. and invented and clarity are pretty much just as good too. damage and surviving are fucking great and nice curiosities among their discog for very specific styles of music. they’re my favorite band of all time for a reason, they could never do any wrong in my eyes and all their albums grow even better over time. coming up on 8 years of integrity blues and it’s a classic. like that’s what it is. it’s one of the best alternative rock records of the 2010s certainly the best elder statesman album out of the scene from that era. lots of bands from the late 90s early 00s emo and pop rock scene never really struck gold in the same way in the 2010s. Jimmy eat World absolutely did with integrity blues. it’s an achievement

 

Integrity Blues is definitely on their Mount Rushmore with Clarity, Bleed American and Futures

 

Ripping album

 

weird way to spell chase this light

 

oh look, another correct post from you!

 

the guy who runs this website applauded my post shut up Steve

 

I feel like I’m still 17 years old when I see Jason like my posts like holy shit Jason tate liked my post I must be posting really good

 

Enjoy some more dopamine

 

oh my god I just remembered this story from literally a week and a half ago I was hanging out with my gf who posted on ap.net back in the day and she was looking over my shoulder and said literally like this “oh my god urr the steve (ire the Steve? one of the two) still posts there” and I said I’m sorry what the fuck did you just call him she didn’t know it’s I are the Steve she just thought your name made no sense I was fucking dying bro

 

If Chase This Light swapped out like 3 album tracks for b-sides, it’d be right up there for me.

but I think I do agree that Integrity Blues is my fourth fav. I also have a soft spot for Invented because it was my first album as a fan.

 

I’ll never shut up about what invented meant to me as a senior in high school the fall it came out. Just insane what the words on that album mean to me.

 

Met Jim at his solo acoustic show and told him I “learned how to drive” to My Best Theory and that kinda blew his mind lol

 

His solo show around I think 2013-2014? was amazing and so intimate I didn’t talk to him after but up on stage he was just happy anyone came out it was at a tiny bar but had a good showing

 

We had about 9 people at my show and he sweat his ass off working for us all. Then when the show was done, he just stepped off stage and started shaking hands!

 

I’d say 20-30 people at my show at like a 100 cap place in the middle of Missouri haha it was awesome

 

Can you fucking imagine an entire acoustic version of Integrity Blues? The 3 songs they released were great

 

Jimmy isn’t my favorite band, but I can’t come up with another band that consistently puts out great albums like them. The hit to miss ratio is insane.
