The band 'Jimmy Eat World' have been around for a long time now and were around even longer before this albums release - its their fourth album - the one that properly thrust them into the limelight and onto mainstream rock music television and radio. 2001 was a key year in the bands career and the success is down to their solid consistency and of course this magnificent album. Theres a bit of everything for fans here, the odd acoustic number, sing alongs, heavier dark tones and despite only being 11 tracks, most songs are full to the brim averaging around 4 and a half minutes, and even if you prefer your songs to be short and sweet, you wont be disappointed as to what ..  Read the complete review

Jimmy Eat World's 'Futures' has been one of my favourite albums of recent years and I was hopeful that I wouldn't be disappointed by this earlier offering. About ten listenings (in three days) later and I can cheerfully report that far from being disappointed, I'm ecstatic! I'm aware that there are plenty of reviews of this one already, but I wanted to add a few statements in praise of the group and to point out that this album remains incredibly fresh after seven years ago and that it is a far more polished release than most of the albums it will typically be lumped with in the music press. Jimmy Eat World are one of those groups that (along with artists such ...  Read the complete review

A album in which the band made without a actual record company- just them and the producer, well lets see how it went Bleed American: The title track from the album. A good punk rock styled song. great intial lyrics in "I'm not alone cos the Tv's on, I'm not crazy cos i take the right pills" A good well paced track that is extremely catchy with the chorus type bit "Salt Sweat Sugar On The Asphalt our Hearts Littering The Topsoil" A Praise Chorus: Another good punk type song, great intro and in particular the great chorus with lyrics such as " I'm On My Feet, I'm On The Floor, I'm Good To Go". ...  Read the complete review

About 2 months ago, Jimmy Eat World would have just been a weird band name to me, but ever since Kerrang gave it 5 stars (which surprised me, seeing as they didn't seem heavy) I knew I had to check these guys out. Now I can't believe I ever had lived before Jimmy Eat World. Whoa. Every track on this album seems to take on new meaning and style. It is innovative and tremendously enjoyable - 11 tracks of pure genius. BLEED AMERICAN A mass of energy and melody is crammed into this fast paced, guitar-fuelled song. The lyrics seem to imply the decline of America's industry, yet you wouldn't know it to listen to the song, it is ...  Read the complete review

Jimmy Eat World are for all accounts a small known band. That is at least in the uk. In America they are well known as a punk / rock band (notice how I said punk / rock NOT punk Rock, emphasising the /) (even though there is only hints of punk in the songs), who have toured with Weezer and Blink 182 and played the Warped tour. In November they will be playing with Blink 182 (When they come to the uk) as supporting band as are Sum 41 and Alkaline Trio. The bands music comes across as an emo driven Rock sound with tinges of punk in there for good measure. The bands first album ‘Static Prevails’ wasn’t widely accepted and left the band as an underground ...  Read the complete review
