Jimmy Eat World - Surviving (October 18, 2019) Album • Page 106

I’m crazy about Nothingwrong.

I remember it playing in my car years ago and a mate being like “who are we listening to? This is mad” and was shocked it was Jimmy cos all he knew was The Middle and Sweetness lol.

 

LIE LIE BETTER NEXT TIME

 

Reading through here makes me want to cancel my Chorus sub and move to Antarctica. Some y’all need Jesus.

 

All this Futures slander.

 

While I thoroughly disagree with the last few pages, I do appreciate that all of us feel such a connection to this band that even when someone is saying "it's the weakest track" (read - nobody saying its bad!) we all have such a strong tie to certain tracks that we can't fathom saying Night Drive is the weakest. What a band

Also, to whoever said that Work and Pain are among the weaker songs on Futures... WHAT

 

Yea, Work and Pain absolutely kill

 

Anyone got deets in first week numbers?

 

night drive has such incredible production and such a rich sound

 

Pain wouldn't make my top 5 or anything but it rips. Work, on the other hand, is one of the best on the record

 

i set my watch by street side clock
a needle in echo groove

 

Also I now have Firefight stuck in my head

 

I would love that song so much more if the "bye bye love" line wasn't repeated 972 times (exact count) throughout.

 

BYE

BYE

LOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEE

 

Anyone knows how many copies of surviving were sold in the first week?

 

I wonder if they beat Third Eye Blind

 

So does kill

 

My local target was selling Third Eye Blind but not this.

 

Exactly

 

work -> kill -> world you love is a really unfairly good run of songs

 

Surviving definitely has higher play counts on Spotify.

 

Hot take but Night Drive has the best moment on all of Futures. “‘Cause quitting alone will never get you dry.” Literal chills, every single time Jim sings that line. It’s perfect.

 

This is one of your best posts

 

In conclusion, Futures is a perfect album, thanks for coming to my TED talk

9th in pure sales with 5.4 k, not on the top 50 SPS

Billboard usually comes out Tuesday I think

 

I was not expecting to read such bold claims regarding an album released in 2004 in a thread about an album released in 2019.
