Jimmy Eat World - Surviving (October 18, 2019) Album • Page 97

Their worst since Static Prevails but still good

 

so the lyrics in the booklet are wrong in a lot of places? unless you're seriously telling me he says "shred majestically" instead of "tread" in One Mil lol

 

Maybe my favourite record of the year. Makes me wanna get a Jimmy tattoo.

 

Sooo we’re all just going to ignore the fact that JEW did an Andrew WK cover?

 

I didn't!

 

I heard shred. I think it makes sense as it's quite a juvenile song about wishing to win over a girl you're too shy to talk to. Shredding on guitar is one way kids think they can win girls' hearts. Just my take.

 

We will probably never hear it. It's an exclusive vinyl. Only 50 fans got a copy.

 

Actually they are doing 500 copies but the band will only get 400 of the copies to do what ever they want! Guessing they will sell them for limited run

 

Is this available for download anywhere

 

I wish Congratulations was 100,000 minutes long.

 

It’s on streaming.

 

IB is their best album of this decade.

Crazy how much this album has grown on me in just 3 days. I don't know why it didn't click on my first listen, but now I'm obsessed.

The only song I don't care for at all is the title track. It starts with such a great riff, but I feel the song goes nowhere.
Strongest tracks right now are Delivery, 555 and Recommit.

 

I’ve listened to this probably 10 or so times. Not sure where I would put this in a ranking.

This is both fresh and instantly familiar (in a good way).

I do think it feels maybe 1 song short - not sure if it’s having spent more time with Love Never and All the Way.

Anywho just pumped to have new Jimmy in my life. This band is everything.

 

Think of the opening track as an introduction to the album. Imagine curtains opening and the band building up, the music swelling as it leads into the body of work you're about to hear. I'm curious to know if this changes your perspective.

 

Yeah, he sings “tread majestically,” not “shred.” Clear as day.

 

Def sounds like tread to me

 

The lyrics all over this album have kinda punched me right in the mouth. Like legit made me uncomfortable at some spots, but I guess that’s supposed to be the point.

 

Imagine singing birds telling you “tear the buildings down”

 

If you could only listen to their ‘00s or ‘10s output, which would you choose?

‘00s for me but it was way more difficult than I thought

 

2000s. I love what they have done this decade but no way in hell am I giving up Bleed American or Futures.

 

2000s for sure

 

They released Bleed American, Futures and Chase This Light all in the same decade.

Fuck.
