Jimmy Eat World - Integrity Blues (October 21, 2016) Album • Page 203

I'm alone in this. I'm an ass.. I've always been!

 

right behind what's happening

 

Collision is such an ugly sound

 

I can hear ya now

 

Bush is a good band.

 

like, a quarter of the time, yes

 

Fair. I'd say more like 2/3. There's always some filler on their records. But they have a ton of good songs.

 

1994 album was bad. Not terrible though. I like Static Prevails and never understood why it gets so much hate from other fans. I'd started to listen to midwest emo subgenre after Static Prevails and Clarity. Maybe I like these old records more than someone who never was into that genre.

 

Bah, Goodbye Sky Harbour was out last night in Southampton. Probably not hearing it in Dublin then, so :(

 

You could always try reaching out to them and asking them if they could play it. I did that a few years ago on their tour for Damage with 23. It wasn't in the setlist for most of the tour until the week I was seeing them and I asked if they could keep it in. I was front and center and during their encore Jim said "This song is a request" and they started playing 23. It was amazing...until a fight broke out between people in the back within the first minute of the song, then they started the song over.

I normally don't ever reach out to bands like that, but it was my first time seeing this band and 23 used to be my favorite song from them (it's now my second favorite). I figured there was no harm in asking.

 

lolwtf

 

That's what I'm saying! Kinda soured the moment tbh

 

Like, the first minute of that song is... the least 'let's start punching each other and fucking shit up' moment in their entire discog.

And thanks for the advice - I'll get at them on Twitter!

e: Just did it. Fuck... remembered that mid-Nov 2006 was the first time I ever heard Clarity... happy almost-10th-anniversary I guess.

 

Listening to the album in the original sequence....My Enemy is an interesting album opener, especially with Get Right just after it. Completely changes the tone of the front half of the record.

 

Hmm. Haven't listened in that order yet but I might end up liking it better that way.

 

Is it bad that Get Right is one of my favorite songs off the album?

All in all, this album reminds me most of Chase this Light.

 

nope that song kicks ass

 

There's no bad song on the record so therefore there can be no bad favorites haha.

Can't agree with the CTL comparison though.

 

I thought there was a lot of slack on here for Get Right earlier. It may be my favorite song on the album. That and Pass the Baby.

 

I honestly don't know which album this one reminds me of the most. I hear some Futures, some CTL, some Invented, a bit of them all, really.

 

Get Right is definitely one of my favorite tracks off the record. Though, I doubt I'll listen to the album in any other order than the official tracklisting. I can't stand chopping up the tracklisting and playing it differently. When I listen to music, I try and to listen to an album from start to finish.

 

Leading with My Enemy and Get Right REALLY starts the album off with a Bleed American vibe.

 

I tried that alternate tracklisting and wasn't much of a fan. It makes the halves of the album too samey, especially if you don't put "Through" between "The End . . ." and the title track.

On a totally separate note, that bass line in "Pol Roger" is so freaking great. It makes me feel warm from the inside out.

 

I have to agree, I love that "Through" breaks up those songs. I love all three of those songs but having them all finish the album is a bad idea. I like that "Through" is a buffer, gives it that much needed kick after "The End" but just enough to take you into the other two to close out the album. What's crazy to me is that they were going to have Through be a bonus track, that song is one of my favorites on the album. Glad it made the cut!

I've been toying with putting My Enemy in the album somewhere but I don't know where. Right now it's just tagged on the end as a bonus track but I feel like it needs to be in there with the rest of the songs.

 

Through fucking rules and I'm so glad it made the album over My Enemy and I have zero problems now with where Through is in the album's sequencing.
