The Authority Song
The Middle
Get It Faster
Bleed American
If You Don't, Don't
Sweetness

 

I've had the opening guitar licks of "Sure and Certain" stuck in my head all day

 

Wait if you said If You Don't, Don't is a bottom 5 does that mean Sweetness is one of your least favorite songs from this band? Whaaaat

 

Yep, I think it's my least favorite period.

 

Cautioners is the best song on BA

 

That's crazy to me haha but you do you

 

i dont know how some poeple dont like hear you me , its one of the greatest song ever both lyricly and musicly
i still remember the first time i heard it i couldnt believe how good it was.
had 2 listen to it like 4 times in a row

 

"There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance."

 

Do it! Do it!

I'll do it too and lets compare notes

 

"Hear You Me" carries a huge emotional punch for me; girl on my high school track team, who everybody considered a friend and loved being around, died via a driver who fell asleep at the wheel while she was walking on a sidewalk. The next day all of the friends she had gathered at the spot where it happened and we all collectively sang "Hear You Me", as someone had brought an acoustic guitar with them. There were no dry eyes there. Every time I hear that song it brings me back to that day

 

Yeah, not even close

 

Yes easily

Sweetness is the other standout. The rest is solid but unspectacular. I do love the production and the sound of the guitars throughout though. Authority song and the title track are very solid and A Praise Chorus

 

very surprised to see the dislike for Hear You Me. Very important song in general for me at least.

and if we're ranking favorite JEW albums...

Futures, CTL, Clarity, Bleed American, Invented, Damage, Static Prevails... I don't dislike any of them so even Damage being lower, I still love that album. Though Static Prevails is probably the one I return to the least.

 

Damage > Futures > Clarity = Static Prevails > Bleed American > Jimmy Eat World > Chase This Light = Invented

 

Futures > Chase This Light > Clarity > Damage > Bleed American > Invented > Static Prevails

 

Futures > BA > Clarity > Invented > CTL >Damage > I don't listen to anything pre-clarity

 

This is gonna take a while but I'll start working on it

 

Futures > CTL > Invented > Damage > Bleed American > Clarity

 

CTL>Clarity>Invented>First half of Damage>Futures>Bleed American>2nd half of Damage

 

Not doing this again haha

 

I'm pretty sure I've ranked JEW albums multiple times at this point, but I'll take a stab at BA song rankings:

A Praise Chorus - I honestly don't know if this is the clear winner, but I never really tire of it. I've burned through this song hundreds of times over the past 15 years and it deserves a top spot either way.
Sweetness - The low marks for this song around here are disappointing. This song blew me away when it first released and it still gets love from me.
The Middle - hard to be objective about this one because of how insanely overplayed it's been, but the reality it's such a tightly crafted and catchy song that I have to give it props. If I ranked this album based off of overexposure, the top three songs would be lower on this list.
Hear You Me
Cautioners
My Sundown
If You Don't, Don't
The Authority Song
Your House (I'm not ranking 2007 version because it doesn't feel right, despite my love for it)
Bleed American - Probably deserves a higher spot. It took me years to really appreciate the song though.
Get It Faster - My least favorite, I can at least say that with certainty. The chorus just eats at me in the wrong way. I do love the bridge though.

The thing is, the majority of these songs would be among Top 20-30 JEW songs, even though Futures is my favorite album overall.

 

I'm pretty sure we have all done JEW album rankings and that's what send me on a tirade in defense of Static Prevails, so maybe let's not go down that road again.

How am I supposed to wait another 8 days for this new album?
