Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 334

Bleed American was my first album/introduction and is definitely my most listened to by them

 

I've said this elsewhere before but I think a JEW + Thrice tour would be perfect.

 

I bet I’d love bleed American as much I already do if today was the first time I heard it.

 

Futures/Stay On My Side
Chase This Light
Integrity Blues
Invented
Bleed American
Clarity
Damage
Static Prevails

 

Just ran through the whole discog today at work. Everything from Bleed on is super close but gun to my head my ranking would be:

Futures
Integrity Blues
Invented
Chase This Light
Bleed American
Damage
Clarity
Static Prevails

I love Clarity but I've found I need to be in a certain mood to listen.

 

I love the general conscencus we have here that you cant go wrong with this band from Clarity on.

 

I never really got into Chase This Light aside from a couple particular songs. I haven’t listened to that album in at least 5 years. Ha

 

If you throw the b-sides from that era in, Chase This Light is probably my personal favorite album by them. It is certainly the one I have listened to the most over the years, although Integrity Blues has given it a serious run for its money in the relatively short time that its been out.

I tried doing a straight ranking and failed. This was the best I could come up with:

Futures / Chase This Light / Integrity Blues
Bleed American / Invented / Damage
Clarity
Static Prevails

 

You putting Clarity so far down on your list makes me question your judgement, haha just teasing. But yeah, CTL never clicked with me. Probably because I didn’t feel like it met or exceeded the greatness of Futures.

My personal list:
Clarity
Futures
Bleed American
the rest

 

I just don't hold their earlier albums in the same reverence that most JEW fans do, but I will say that they are insanely consistent quality wise and don't have anything even close to resembling a bad album. I almost put Clarity on the same level as BA, Invented & Damage but I honestly don't return to it nearly as much as I do the other ones.

With them though I could easily have just done my ranking as an 8-way tie. They are that good.

 

I've always like JEW and BA was an album most of my friends were obsessed with back in the day, but nothing REALLY clicked with me until Futures was released. That was a the game changer for me when it came to getting really into this band.

 

Oh we’re doing this now?!

I hope a terrible band opens for them so I can continue my old lady standing hating tradition of skipping the opener and sliding right in before the main act.

 

Doing “the rest” to Jimmy Eat World is disrespectful beyond words.

 

“The rest” are interchangeable for me. I couldn’t rank them. I haven’t spent as much time with them as the top 3, Haha.

The band doesn’t have a bad album though.

The rest could go in any order

 

Idk why but I STILL haven’t heard invented

 

Change that

 

I hope we hear something soon. I am frantically checking this and the blink 182 thread for album news.......

 

Have they disowned the self-titled album then? Could have sworn Jim referred to IB as their 9th album when announced...
