Jimmy Eat World - Integrity Blues (October 21, 2016) Album • Page 43

it's a stand out on the album for sure. definitely up there as far as their singles go. but shit, looking at all their singles on wikipedia... why haven't they done a greatest hits?

 

BECAUSE THEY AINT FINISHED YET

 

Idk about best but it's a great song

 

haha you don't have to be finished to drop a greatest hits, and they have more than enough material for it.

 

Lol it's probably almost as annoying as someone posting "hey, I've got the album, it's as great as you'd hoped and you can't have it"

 

@ me next time

 

you haven't listened to it yet

 

Fair point.

Btw sorry I stopped using the amazing avocado pic you posted as my avi I hope we're still friends

 

FedEx me some homemade guacamole as penance

 

You drive a hard bargain but alright guac and chips en route

 

This album is beautiful

 

Yeah this annoys me too. arent they watermarked anyway? That wouldnt be too hard to track down. whoever does that risks their trust with bands and could lose their privilege of reviewing albums.

 

I haven't even noticed that happen in here, but I probably wouldn't think much of it if people are just joking.

 

Theres a big difference between letting go and running away

:,(

 

so let's hear your track by track review that you definitely promised you'd do

 

This is probably my favorite lyric he's ever written tbh

 

What song is that lyric from?

 

i wanna say through

 

Alright quick track by track for my beloved @ChiliTacos

You With Me- very interesting opener. almost church choir esque. Really sets the tone well.
Sure And Certain- Very good single, very representative of the album as a whole imo
It Matters- Lots of piano, very bass/drum driven. Has one of my favorite lines with "I think about us dancing, but its not something we do anymore"
Pretty Grids- shades of Clarity on this track, dark and almost grunge-tinged.
Pass The Baby- I was talking with Zac about this, probably going to be polarizing but its absolutely stunning imo. goes from this electronic beat to a heavy rock song at the drop of a hat and its immaculate
Get Right- Probably my least favorite, very much the "Pain" of this album. good rock song
You Are Free- My favorite song at the moment. great use of piano, very Futures/SOMST vibes. gorgeous
The End Is Beautiful- a beautiful song tbh. slower, another Clarity influence track imo. love Jims melodies
Through- My second favorite song I think. Deviously catchy but has some great lyrics like Zac mentioned above.
Integrity Blues- This is another one I think is going to be divisive. Lots of focus on Jims vocals and lyrics. Works flawlessly imo, adds some diversity to these otherwise somber songs.
Pol Rodger- Great closer. Does the album justice, builds beautifully and shows that 8 albums into their career and theyve still got the magic. one of those songs that just makes you envious of how talented this band is.

 

Kenneth, my heart...

 

i know, mine is so full with JEW love right now

and love for you ofc

 

Through is this albums How'd You Have Me

 

This is why I wake up every day

 

i can agree with this

 

"It Matters" just kills me. "I imagine talks that last all night/I never bring it up but every day I want to" is probably my favorite line on the record. That song is just the perfect encapsulation of a relationship that has stopped working.
