Bleed American - Jimmy Eat World

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

'Bleed American' is the fantastic fourth album from the excellent American rock band that is Jimmy Eat World. The album was released through Dreamworks records in 2001 and consists of eleven tracks. There are a few moments of weakness here, for the most part however the music of Jimmy Eat World is highly impressive here and there are a large number of hugely entertaining tracks contained within this 'Bleed American' album. For me there are five tracks here that really stand out as the strongest that the band has to offer with this album. Title track 'Bleed American' for one is absolutely brilliant; 'The Middle', 'Sweetness', 'If You Don't, Don't', and 'Get ...  Read the complete review

JIMMY EAT WORLD - JIMMY EAT WORLD --------------------------------- Before anyone downrates me for being off topic, id better explain why the title of the album is different from the one listed on the site, when this album was first released in 2001 it was originally called Bleed American, but only weeks after its release there was the atrocity at the world trade centre on September 11th, so the band changed the title. Jimmy Eat World formed in 1993 in Arizona, and released a selection of singles and eps, and their first full length album, which was also self titled! Very confusing. The band was then signed to Capitol Records where they released ...  Read the complete review

In the old days, the emo-kids worshipped Jimmy Eat World as saviours. Now, of course, they have "sold-out" and the emo-kids won't touch them. This whole sellout thing confuses and irritates me, so I'm just going to say that I like Jimmy Eat World on the strength of their current album, imaginitively named "Jimmy Eat World" (Bleed American was scrapped because of Sept.11 issues), and I only got to know their old stuff (which is admittedly techinically better but the masses will definitely prefer this) through this, and its damn good! Jimmy Eat World personify popular rock. The music is upbeat and anthemy with more power chords and ...  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
