Jimmy Eat World - Integrity Blues (October 21, 2016) Album • Page 126

I was lucky enough to get my pre-order this afternoon, so thankfully I should now be more productive at work tomorrow. Just wanted to share some quick thoughts before it's officially released. I've listened to it a couple times now and I'm really enjoying it. There's definitely some experimentation and different things they haven't done before but most of it comes out well to me. Should be something for any fan of the band on this. Initial favorites are: It Matters, Through, and Pol Roger.

 

@dvls2012 i assume that PTB is the experimentation that didn't work for you?

 

Yeah, the first listen was a little rough but I it came off better the second time through, might be a grower. I do like the back half though, a little post-rockish.

 

Oh shoot. Honestly, "Get Right" was awesome, probably my favorite of the new songs to hear live. "Kill" was a terrific surprise, that was probably my favorite overall.

Also, they were giving away the 7" with the preorder again. I asked if we could buy them, they said no. The record stores are given a certain amount and then have to return them after the presale period. So hopefully JEW will sell them later?

 

album's out in the wild

 

Right before I was about to go to bed...

Well I can wait another 45 minutes to sleep, starting now.

 

oh my

 

i gasped very loudly

 

pressing play, i will be live updating in this thread as i listen

 

FUCK

 

you with me is still one of their best songs ever

 

Gonna finish the last three tracks of this Lido album then hopefully gonna jump on in

 

"You With Me" is such a phenomenal opener

 

sure and certain is a pretty big song

 

oh fuck, gonna listen very soon

 

alright onto the completely new stuff

 

Hard shift from the end of "It Matters" to "Pretty Grids" but I dig it.

 

it matters was great, pretty grids is sounding very interesting

 

"Pass the Baby" is kind of like an evolution of "Gotta Be Somebody's Blues" so far.

edit: ...well okay then

 

pass the baby is VERY interesting

 

Ok starting now, I think I have only heard two of these songs, and only like... once each

 

i am loving pass the baby so much omg

 

"Get Right" still rules

 

holy shit pass the baby gets better and better

 

AAAH, I really needed a good night's sleep tonight.
Oh well.
