Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 565

The Phoenix New Times article in the references of the Go Big Casino Jimmy Wiki is an interesting read. I especially like this part, which is Jim talking about what will become Bleed American:

"We just want to do our record, give it to a label and say, 'Here it is, put it out.'" Adkins' smile quickly fades when he's asked about the direction of the new Jimmy Eat World material. "I don't think people are going to like it," he offers after a long pause. "I really don't. But then again, last time I didn't think people would like Clarity. But I really don't think anyone's going to like this new one. I think it will follow the tradition of us alienating our entire listening audience with each new record. It's real rock, even more like pop-structured songs. I don't think any song is over three and a half minutes.""

 

Pickety pick pick pick

 

oooh I like this. Not that I don't love Jim's solo acoustic versions. This is refreshing.

 

I love the "allllll niiiiiight"'s in the acoustic version.

 

Oh wow yeah I love this version.

 

“Something Not As Loud”

 

I do love that a lot of their acoustic versions of songs are still the whole band and not just Jim with an acoustic guitar. Like Dizzy. No offense to Jim. This version is really cool.

 

Beautiful rendition

 

Goddamn, what a band.

 

This acoustic version is just so damn good.

And “PYD” is everything I love most about this band. Big moody and atmospheric. So ready for an album at this point. Worried I’ll overplay these two songs and then if they’re on the album I’ll skip them, or they won’t be on the album and I won’t play them enough.

 

WHERE IS PYD

 

Check the Q&A thread for us talking about it today

 

Hell yea, baby. Just waiting on Static Prevails to arrive to complete my collection.

 

Nice! What colorway?

 

I’m not sure entirely. It’s this version.

Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light

 

My CTL I bought from their merch person is messed up. It starts halfway through the opening Big Casino riff and it throws me off every time.

 

Yep. Jason is right. PYD is a big moody 5 minute long song.

Nostalgic, yet still so fresh and perfect for this Fall weather.

And I gotta say, Zach and Rick may not be super flashy, but goddamn they are always so precise and efficient as a percussion section.

Fingers crossed for another full length after putting out two bangers.

 

I thought Place Your Debts was supposed to be released September 23rd.

 

What the hell?

 

Got the same version, I want to say that’s plagued recent pressings.

 

I think my copy does the same thing as well. I remember putting it on and thinking I must have rpm set too fast before it was actually set appropriately
