Not impressed

Boring as shite. Lame follow up to Integrity Blues

555 and Recommit are okay

At first listen, really disappointed in this album. I would ranking it at the bottom with Invented.

I don’t like the album but “My Best Theory” And “Coffee and Cigarettes” are two of my favorite JEW songs.

I haven’t been able to get into any of their albums post-Futures in their entirety though. Not even come close actually.

Man those might be my two least favorite jimmy songs

Different strokes for different folks though. Agree with you about Futures being their last album I enjoyed in its entirety

Warming up to the new record. Still will probably end up behind every album except invented and damage though

Chase this Light was my last record to love from beginning to end. It’s gotten worse with each record since.

See I really like Integrity Blues. I’d personally put it up there with CTL.

Also it’s weird to hear them close out a record with a non-ballad. Been awhile

I dig integrity, too. Sure and Certain ranks as one of my favs.

Hoping this album grows on me.

They really hit their stride from the time Jim took over on lead vocals (97 maybe?) through the Stay On My Side Tonight EP (which was Futures outtakes). All of their full lengths, EP’s, and split singles from that era are on a different level than anything they’ve done since.

I may be in the minority, but I enjoy some of the new album a fair amount. Surviving, Delivery, 555 and One Mil are ones I've liked.

It isn't world changing, but generally likeable for me.

Speaking of Jimmy Eat World, the new that dog album is amazing.

I dream of a double album release of all the songs they recorded for Futures

Collectively, it's not their best. There are a few tracks that are solid, though.

I've listened twice now. Not really doing much for me.

Bleed American is as solid as an album can be for when it released. Really not a bad song on it though I might be biased. Wife and I ended our wedding ceremony with A Praise Chorus
