Jimmy Eat World - Sure & Certain (New Song)

[Aria]

Beth if you'd like to avoid said fight with him we can switch opinions so both thoughts are still "out there". 

[Melty Mark]

I'm stubborn, this is why we fight.

[Cheerios4u98]

This is an important step for us.

I'm really impressed with the album on first listen. I think I'm going to really like it after a few plays.

Is it out already?

Apparently AP called it their best record since Futures, high praise. I will check it out but I'm not expecting much. hopefully low expectations will make it a pleasant surprise. 

 

[Cheerios4u98]

It's out?? I know what I'm doing tomorrow!

But first, I need to sleep.

[brocksta182]

Yeah, it's on Google Play already. Maybe only in Australia? 

[Melty Mark]

I dig it. Some of the songs that weren't single I like better than the ones that were released, but Sure and Certain has absolutely grown on me, as well as You Are Free. I don't think I hate any of it, as worried and annoyed as I was with them originally. I was dead wrong.

A fucking +

 

Not a let down like I had feared!

[Cheerios4u98]

Listened to it once while doing homework, so I wasn't really paying attention. I have no opinion yet. I'll have to give it another spin when I can actually appreciate it.

I listened to half of it on the way home from work, found most of it forgettable but Pass The Baby is pretty interesting. going to listen more when I'm to-and-from work and see how I feel. 

I will say the production is better on this record than say Invented. it's not all up in your guts which is nice.

[Broken English]

Since Futures, Jimmy Eat World have been essentially a vanilla band. This album however, takes vanilla to a new level. It's basically unflavoured. There is one saving grace in "You Are Free", which is a great track, but fuck me, write some interesting fucking music.

 

So. Fucking. Boring.

[bastard]

Listened to the album today. Gotta give it a few tries. Hope it's a grower. Last really good album was the 2007 one.

[radioactive tomdog]

i think there are only two or three songs i don't like on this one. sure & certain is my favorite 

[bastard]

Funnily enough I've been listening to some good emo bands last couple of days: the get up kids, the promise ring, sunny day real estate. JEW always comes up too. Then I saw they've just released a new album.

Last time I saw them live was 2 of 3 years ago at a festival - always fun to see them.

Generally good guys, you can see they have a passion for music.

Good band.

[_Kyle_]

You gotta appreciate JEW. They've been a band for 22 years, they constantly make music, most of it is worth checking out, they never have bad press, and they tour constantly.

[Kay]

I listened to it a bit more, and I quite like It Matters, Sure & Certain has grown on me, and You With Me has a nice chorus. Pass The Baby is still interesting, but not as good on casual speakers as it is with headphones. it's still very casual listening for me, but I'm going to give it a few more spins.

I still can't get on with Get Right though, it's so repetitive and the melody / vocals are quite grating in the chorus. 

[Patient #48273]

I'm liking Through a lot.
