I will say that Integrity Blues' title track almost made me tear up on the train a few days ago

I think if "Disintegration" and "Shame" made it to Futures it would have been more warmly received, somehow.

"shame" is so good, prob the least ponderous slow song from those sessions

y'all this album whips

"555" probably the closest we'll ever get to a jimmy eat world slow jam

Are JEW and 3EB releasing on the same day?
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Thursday, 17 October 2019 02:12 (four years ago) link
yes lol
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 October 2019 02:36 (four years ago) link
also i'm very impressed by this record. thought it might be a straight-up pop-rock record like bleed american or chase this light, and it sort of is but with dark atmospheric pockets. the last two tracks are a moodshift you almost don't notice happening until it's happened
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 October 2019 02:39 (four years ago) link
got my friday night lined up
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Thursday, 17 October 2019 02:43 (four years ago) link
thinking it’s time for Pitchfork to revisit Bleed American, keep righting Ryan rongs.

xp i love "Work"

― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 18 October 2019 16:46 (four years ago) link
perfectly illustrates the melodramatic essence of the song while also being completely ridiculous. mad max tyrant contemplating personal failures
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 18 October 2019 16:47 (four years ago) link
yea it works!
this album is really slick, the songs are there. kinda wish the mix had room to breathe a little but ive felt that way since chase the light.
whole album is very listenable though. back half of the closing track is very ji\m/\m/y eat world.

i wasn't ready for goth metal jimmy eat world feat. davey havok on backing vocals
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 18 October 2019 18:08 (four years ago) link
oh wow thats awesome now i hear him on there. that song has so much energy. second listen through the album now and I like every song.

this is so good, glad i decided to check it out after seeing a headline about davey havok guesting on a song (which is still sick, but the whole album is great)
their best in a long while

if y'all like livestreams they're doing three over the next few months, each covering a different album in their discog. first was tonight, playing surviving, and it fucking whipped ass, and even though it's over you apparently can buy tickets afterward to watch it on demand https://www.jimmyeatworldlive.com/

"congratulations" was like.... even better than i thought it would be
also next few weeks* not months
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 15 January 2021 23:00 (three years ago) link
"congratulations" is one of my favorite running songs of the last few years

ive been enjoying jims youtube series 'pass-through frequencies' where he interviews (mostly) other emo gods. also interviewed flynt flossy.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 15 January 2021 23:18 (three years ago) link
i may buy tickets to those live streams. thx for the heads up.

really good discussion of recording surviving, including a story about justin meldal-johnsen driving down hollywood blvd. blasting ratt's out of the cellar and throwing the devil horns
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 16 January 2021 17:42 (three years ago) link
today's the futures show! my least favorite of their major albums but it's gonna rip live
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 17:16 (three years ago) link
oh now im interested in your JEW album rankings. futures would be up there for me

clarityintegrity bluessurvivingbleed americaninventedfutureschase this lightstatic prevailsdamage
futures is just... slightly too dirge-y? it's still great but i kinda lose the thread right after "pain"
never heard the s/t, nothing anyone's said about it makes it seem worth hearing lol
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:38 (three years ago) link
Integrity Blues and Futures are both "tremendous highs, regrettable lows" for me, boringly I think Bleed American is my favorite now
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:41 (three years ago) link
wait what are the lows on futures!?
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:54 (three years ago) link
i dont really care for just tonight but thats about it
"drugs or me" and "night drive" do not completely work for me and never have. i still listen to them all the time lol
i'm expecting the live set to change my mind about this tbh
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:56 (three years ago) link
"polaris" is potentially the goat jimmy eat world song tho
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:57 (three years ago) link
"drugs or me" is nails on chalkboard awful to me lol
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:58 (three years ago) link
wow ok. i do kinda wish they rocked it out like on the demo thohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frD86e-S3_k
