Pumped about the vinyl reissues, but why no Bleed American?

Okay I'm probably among the bigger mid-period Jimmy Eat World stan on this board, but jesus fuck not every album needs to be celebrated with an anniversary guys.

i agree? but far as i can tell there are a ton of ppl who are all about futures

unfortunately i don't think i'll get an invented anniversary tour

fucking classic just for THE MIDDLE and its 1979-aping video. BLEED AMERICAN the song also geat. SWEETNESS might be their best song

I don't get how someone can give Bleed American a 3 and Source Tags & Codes a 10.

SO FUCKING OTM

DROP D CITY

once in a while I go through their whole discography and start thinking they're the best rock band ever

sooo ready for a new jimmy eat world record

what an awful album title
love them tho

Wasn't crazy about the first advance single, but I like this! Excited for the new record now.

Yup, same reaction here re: "Get Right" vs. this new one.

I have decided that Futures is my favorite JEW album. Integrity Blues has higher highs but also 3-4 tracks I have no use for.

fav overall?

clarity will basically never be supplanted as my fav, but integrity is prob my second favorite jew album at this point. it's def their dreamiest

for some reason i have found myself in a lot of conversations about this band lately (i didn't even bring them up!)

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

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

new album, surviving, out 10/18

best band of all time imo

p sure they remixed "love never" for the record and it sounds way punchier

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB7xABGta4I

those "hey heys" are a very reliable comfort

sax!!!!

yah that sax was a pleasant surprise. im here for this obv.

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?

yes lol

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

got my friday night lined up

thinking it’s time for Pitchfork to revisit Bleed American, keep righting Ryan rongs.

xp i love "Work"

this album is so dope i can't stand it. it's the closet they've gotten to bleed american since bleed american imo
