Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 557

MBT was the first song I heard of theirs that wasn’t from bleed american. great single choice

 

Well shut my mouth. Maybe I was thinking of “I Will Steal You Back.”

 

Littlething is top tier jimmy eat world

 

It was posted early on YouTube and I remember seeing an embed for it on this thread last week, before it got deleted. Surprised it still isn't out.

 

Gonna listen to Invented today and enjoy every second (except Higher Devotion). Y’all are heathens.

 

Higher Devotion rules too.

 

Can you feel my eye lasers hit?

 

Anais, My Best Theory, higher devotion, stop, cut, evidence are all great songs. For whatever reason i dont go back to invented a ton but its a good album.

 

My Best Theory is my favourite on Invented.

 

the title track is easily the best on it

 

Never been a fan of the title track, though i know thats a minority opinion.

 

Invented is an awesome album. I hate Higher Devotion. It is probably my least favorite Jimmy Eat World song. I don't mean offense to Tom, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I wish Jim sang Action Needs An Audience, because he's just a better singer and it's a good song. I've never liked the song Mixtape at all though. You have the epic title track right there, and it's always felt to me like the obvious closer. Plus, I've always had a very visceral and negative reaction to the lyrics. I'm not exactly sure what he's singing about, but it's always sounded to me like someone telling someone else at the end of a relationship that they don't get to walk away now, which makes my skin crawl. I could have the song completely wrong, but that's just always how it struck me so I've always just skipped it.

 

Anais demo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anais studio

 

i’ve listened to invented thrice this week

 

In regards to Mixtape, I’ve always read the narrator’s “you” to be self-referential. I do that a lot in my writing. Like they are putting an old mixtape on, remembering old thoughts, accepting the fault of the fall of the relationship, and can’t walk away (forget the memories). However, the “What where you protecting yourself from” line doesn’t really work with this reading, unless they were too guarded to open up and that’s the reason the relationship ended.

 

Totally agree on Action Needs An Audience. Probably the sole reason im not a fan of the song.

 

I like Action Needs An Audience, but now I'm imagining it with Jim's vocals and yeah it would be way better.

 

Imagine no longer…

 

This is a Lean appreciation post. Bit of an earworm!

 

All of the talk last night lead me to throw Invented on for my drive home from work, and I'm thinking the same thing is in order again tonight. Such a great album.

Their next album was phenomenal as well, but I digress.

 

honestly after all this Invented listening i think i might be slowly developing the opinion that JEW's best records come every other album, starting from Clarity (which would included Clarity, Futures, Invented, and Integrity Blues). Bring on the next one.

 

They're all good albums Bront.

 

Clarity-Bleed American-Futures is god tier.

 

Yea, all would rate at least good haha

 

Heart is hard to find is my favorite JEW song
