AKA "Salt, Sweat, Sugar"
one thing about them, shortened down they are called "JEW"

[Boc]

JEW: do you see that as a bad or good thing

[Hoppipolla]

They're ok. Used to love them when I was like... 11, funnily enough.

No Doubt, them and Muse were probably my main interests through-out that year.

[contradiction]

they are allright. i really love their song 'sweetness' i think it's so special. :rolleyes:

@comingtoosoon: i love the garfield comic in your signature! =)
i *heart* garfield!

[Glitterstar]

'Salt Sweat Sugar' is a brilliant song. I love the sound of the guitar on that track, it's really cutting.
'Get It Faster' is class too. 'Sweetness' and 'The Middle' are just catchy as fuck :)

[Nikora]

my best friend absolutely loves JEW
she keeps trying to convert me from 'the evilness of metal' :LOL: \m/

not much chance of that

Ah yes, yasdnil, my metal mate on the boards.
You need metal as part of a healthy diet, try a little new slipknot and Metallica...its good for you.

I'm not individually picking out your mistake and amn't being an arse to you, or anything - but jeez the amount of people that use band names as singular words... Grrr! :mad: It's one of the only grammar mistakes that really pisses me off. :$ :eek:

[Butterflies & Hurricanes]

They're a good band, I'm very impressed with Futures - it's a solid album.

[DistortionRox]

futures is good, i think it may be their best work since clarity

[fiona]

bleed american is better than futures. :p

[rocketbabydolly]

im listening to it now...drugs or me is a fantastic song

[derekpearsson]

woot

[music]

have just bought ticket to see them in march in belfast - anybody know what they are like live??

think "pain" is such a good song :D

*its a lie...a kiss with open eyes!*

[Boc]

i got meself futures and im going to see them in march, if there was a strawberry milkshake around for my taste buds i would almost 100% have an orgasm right fucking now

[siblers]

anyone a fan, i love some of their stuff and other stuff i dont like, they mix n match between aggresive rock songs and ballad type songs..

their new song pain is rather poor

[siblers]

ah crap, i used search but nothing came up...#but there is one already..sorry

[dave790]

Yeah I've been a fan for awhile.

Clarity is one of my favourite records, and they're certainly one of the few bands I like that carry the emo tag. Pre-Clarity stuff was ok, but I love the mellow, melodic music on Clarity more.

I really loved Bleed American, or self titled, when it came out aswell. A good mix as you say between the more baldry type songs and the agressive rock tunes, both work really well on what for me is an awesome album.

I didn't mind Pain to be honest, though it was abit of a tune! I don't think Futures in anyway betters the previous two albums though, and it has one too many moments I'm not really into for my liking.

Great band though, and usually very good live.

[siblers]

they seem highly underrated, well i.m.o anyways, what was the single they realesed before "pain", my bro had the bleed america album, but lost it!, will have to get it, and probably the new one,

Bleed America(salt sweat sugar) and sweetness are so diverse from one another but they rock so much

[bucephalus()]

they're a band that have grown on me

SSS, your house, and the Middle are my favourites.

[reenap]

I think their new song-'work'?- is quite catchy. The video is sweet too.

[Phoenix211]

nightdrive is way better :p

anybody kno who is supporting them on their UK tour?

[Sid]

Im going to see um when they support greenday like!!!! ;)

[Bexie]

I think their new song-'work'?- is quite catchy. The video is sweet too.
Yeppers :LOL:

[siblers]

i like the song, but i hate the video and the kids, and the talking parts are annoying, and jimmy looks very very gay in the song, nothing wrong with that, but its not the jimmy i have come to know...

[€ngel]

I thought their latest album was quite dissapointing.

[I Am Sam]

Ooo i was just gonna make a thread for Jimmy. Good band, i've only just recently got into their stuff but my friend is a huge fan so she took me to see them last week in manchester. They were very good.
Bleed American is an ace album. Got it on right now. :D

[Butterflies & Hurricanes]

I'm a Jimmy Eat World fan, they have a number of very solid tracks.

Anyone who likes them should check out a band called Anberlin. They sound fairly similar, yet have a slightly more aggressive (I suppose you could say that) tone to their music. Their last album, Never Take Friendship Personal is a very good album, I highly recommend it.

[Sweet_n_Sour]

Does anyone listen to them? I think they are quite good, so wat do ya think? :)

[Keys]

ive got 3 of their albums.. ive heard one song, forgot which one it was,but was awful. hence the stoppage. :yesey:

im listening to tehm now tho

[€ngel]

I bought their last album. I wish I didn't, it has only one decent song on it. :stunned:

[glasskite]

The Bleed American album I think is by far the best. But I've not listened to the others quite as much.

[Oprah Noodlemantra]

Futures is a great album - i think its better than Bleed American, and just picked up Clarity and Static Prevails yesterday so i'll give them a listen when i have time

[Bewilders]

They have only had one good song in my opinion, and that was "Sweetness". I loved that song.

[Oprah Noodlemantra]

finally listened to Static Prevails and Clarity, and would go so far as i to say Clarity is JEW's best album to date - better than Bleed American and Futures

Static Prevails is not bad - Robot Factory is a great song but overall the album wasn't up to much

[Sweet_n_Sour]

I think Bleed American and Futures are the best albums, I particulary like the first song on bleed american. ALso nothing wrong on Futures.:)

Jimmy Eat World Confirms Release Date For New Album

CHASE THIS LIGHT IN STORES OCT. 16 ON INTERSCOPE RECORDS, FIRST SINGLE "BIG CASINO" ON AIR END OF AUGUST

"Jimmy Eat World delivered a captivating performance - one that spanned, and sometimes re-imagined, its catalog..." - Arizona Republic

"The concert was a triumph on all levels.. If you have any chance whatsoever to see this tour, do what you must. Road trip, buy tickets on eBay, whatever. Just get there." - AbsolutePunk.net

"It was so good, I was still singing in the shower two days afterwards. I suspect that was the feeling of the rest of the crowd as they walked out, most of them with some variation of "wow" or "oh my god" on their lips or cell phones. Let's hope a live recording from this tour gets released because it truly was something to behold." - Pastepunk.com

"The band teased the audience by performing two new ready-for-radio tracks - "Carry You" and "Big Casino"... the show was packed with highlights... the group brought the house down." - GetoutAZ.com

Having just completed a rapturously received tour of intimate rooms on which old standards, rarely performed favorites and a few new songs were aired, Jimmy Eat World has confirmed an October 16 release for their new album Chase This Light. The new album is the follow up to the gold-certified Futures, which has sold over 600,000 copies in the U.S. since its Oct. 2004 release and landed on ROLLING STONE, BLENDER and SPIN's Best of 2004 lists. Futures itself came in the wake of the band's 2001 breakthrough album Jimmy Eat World (originally titled Bleed American).

The band is currently en route from its debut trek through South Africa to a run of UK/European festival shows, including Reading and Leeds at the end of the month, which will conclude as Chase This Light's first single "Big Casino" hits radio. Other highlights from the forthcoming record include the uptempo singalong "Electable (Give It Up)," "Carry You" (cited as a highlight of their recent warm-up shows), and sure to be future live staples "Let It Happen" and "Like She'll Always Be."

The complete track listing for "Chase This Light" is:

1. Big Casino
2. Let It Happen
3. Always Be
4. Carry You
5. Electable (Give It Up)
6. Gotta Be Somebody’s Blues
7. Feeling Lucky
8. Here It Goes
9. Chase This Light
10. Firefight
11. Dizzy

As one of my all time favourite bands have just got around to announcing the release date for their new album, I thought this would be a good opportunity to remind people just how good they are. Have a couple of video from their last album, Futures...

i ve listened their concert on frequency fest...they were amazing...actually i hadn t listened their albums for about a half an year...but now they are in my radio all the time...album bleed american and futures rox..and disintegration..wow:)

[CelticKnight]

Jimmy Eat World new single from "Chase This Light" is available for your aural pleasure on their main site...

Jimmy Eat World - Big Casino

http://www.jimmyeatworld.com/

...and f*ck me, is it a good tune. :cool:

[montgomery]

listening to the new album ("Chase this light") right now. its a pretty good album, a lot better than most of the garbage put out these days.
From what i have listened I have noticed:
-The album doesn't seem to have any raw emotion (like in table of glasses) which is a bummer
-The album doesn't have any sweet huge riffs (like the intro to Futures)
-Some of the songs sort of resemble those on Futures.

besides those 3 things, the album is pretty good so far.

[CelticKnight]

I've been listening to it since early yesterday. I wrote a mini-review for another message board, so I may as well post it up here... save me typing anything new. :LOL:

Hardly the most in depth review I've ever written, but it's 3:35am so here's each track reduced to a one sentence (or there abouts) soundbite. Apologies in advance for any spelling erorrs that may be included.

Big Casino - The first single, and we've all heard it numerous times by now, but it still sounds fresh evertime I hear it. It's a punchy little number that ensure the album hits the ground running. A quality opening track.

Let It Happen - Female backing vocals, gotta love 'em. The "dual vocal chorus" thing worked well on Work (from Futures), but I think it's done better on this track. Probably just due to the fact I prefer the voice of this young lady than the other one.

Always Be - One of my highlights on the album... the intro makes you wonder where the hell it's going, what with the echoing finger clicks. But then the vocal hits, and Jim starts singing those lyrics that raise a smile because (for better or for worse) you just relate to 'em. The "I've always been right behind what's happening/She'll always be a little far for me to reach" lines are some of my favourite lyrics on the album.

Carry You - Woah, did this Go Big Casino number get a make over. While I liked the ever-so-slight melancholy acoustics of the original, it just wouldn't have fitted in on a modern day Jimmy LP.

Electable (Give It Up) - Who said politics and music don't mix? Lyrics relevant to modern day society without being preachy wrapped up in a 3 minutes of rockin' goodness. It also has one of the best bridges on the album, paticularly the bit on 1:55 to 1:56 exactly.

Gotta Be Somebody's Blues - Here comes the comedown. Occupies a role on this album similar to what Drugs Or Me did on Futures, but this does it's job netter. Easily the darkest songs on the album, Jim never breaks above a Jack Bauer-esque moody whisper, and it's got strings. Never underestimate just how cool strings can be. You've got the cello's sliding in, laying the groundwork for the violins. Would I be correct in saying this is the most significant string section in a Jimmy Eat World tune since Just Watch the Fireworks? All in all, a class song.

Feeling Lucky - Kind of lightens the mood a bit after the previous track. I bit of a shame it only clocks in at just over 2:30 but, having saying that, it probably wouldn't have worked any longer. As it is, it just sounds "right". Top air-drumming moments to be had on this one, trust me.

Here It Goes - Next single. Has to be. I mean. come on. Easily the most radio friendly thing the band have done since "The Middle". I remember Jim saying something along the lines of he tried to write a 3 mintute pure pop song with "Jen" from Futures. Well, whether he meant it or not, I think he's just gone and done it with this little ditty. I swear, if you don't tap your feet to this tune, you're dead inside. A glorious little song,

Chase This Light - The title track, it has that signature Jimmy Eat World melody... that "sound" that only this band can do.

Firefight - Probably the "rockiest" song on the LP along with Big Casino and Electable, I notice this songs getting some love on the board. And I just want to say it's totally deserved.

Dizzy - I know it's a cliché to say it's the 23 of Chase This Light, but to hell with it, I'm gonna say it anyway. This song is as epic an LP closer as 23 was. I think (but don't quote me on it) it's the only track that has a piano on it on this album, but when coupled with the strings it just adds an almost emotional weight to the song. It gives you a sense that this is what the album's been building up to... an aural climax, if you will. But there's one bit where the grandiose "epicness" falls away... from 3:10 to 3:34 Jim nails the vocal perfectly, with basically just a guitar for company. It's stands out like someone screaming to be heard, before everthing comes crashing back in. For me, the probably the best song on the album.

So then, final thoughts: Jim's voice has never sounded better. It's a more optimistic record than Futures was, similar to what Bleed American was but it's got a sense of purpose or direction that BA lacked. But it's not overtly optimistic, in a "bouncey happy smiley" fashion, which is nice. I never heard the demo's so I can't so whether or not some of them should've made the album or not. That said, I'm hoping the UK gets a couple of bonus tracks like we did with Futures. That'd just sweeten an already very sweet deal.

So then, with that all that's left is to thank for band for creating an excellent LP. Kudos to you, guys. Your efforts are appreciated.

[Davy]

Who's got tickets for the tour then?

I will get one for the B'ham gig, but i'm poor at the moment :(

[FelixFelicis]

My friend was supposed to be getting us tickets for the Bristol gig... looks like they've sold out already, I hope he managed it.

[Cydoniababy]

Of all their songs, I only heard 23. I loved it! I’ll try to get their albums as soon as possible.

[CelticKnight]

I won't be seeing 'em at all unless that announce a Cardiff gig...

Of all their songs, I only heard 23. I loved it! I’ll try to get their albums as soon as possible.
Do. They're a quality band. If I had to recommend an album it'd probably be either Bleed American (renamed Jimmy Eat World) or Futures (which has 23 on it).

[Cydoniababy]

Thanks :)

[akmx17]

Whats everyone think of there new album?
Im a fan of it, id say 4/5 stars...

[fatallylost]

I know tons of people rip on it.. hell, people rip on EVERYTHING. But, honestly, every song touches some part of my life over the last five months... and has become so very special to me.

[xXIZZERXx]

i love the New Album.
I cant get enough of any of CDs

[madzip]

I just got Chase the Light, really like it... so much so I am going to see them in Liverpool on 29th Feb.... :D

[Enemy]

Big Casino = eargasm
Here It Goes = eargasm

[hystericali]

I'm going to the Leeds Uni gig on Friday. Can anyone recommend a good place to park?

I've never been to the Uni before and I'd appreciate some advice :)

[GorkerMorker]

They were just before Sonic Syndicate in Paradiso so the entire audience came jus walking outside. I can say that Jimmy Eat World has very hot fans :happy:

[Stefamoe]

I'm going to see Jimmy Eat World in Arizona in March. They're doing a 10 year anniversary show for Clarity. They're playing the whole cd. I'm so excited! :D

[Joseph.]

I bought their album Bleed American today. Its really good :D.

Any thoughts on J.E.W?

[Carlo von Sexron]

When I was growing up I loved that song 'Sweetness'. Even now it brings back memories of drunken hooliganism at the beach on a school night. Ohhh badass.:LOL:

[liberty]

One of my favorite bands. Bleed American is a great album. Check out Clarity when you get a chance. They have a lot of good rarities/b-sides, too.

[Gemsy]

haha, there was three Jimmy threads.

[Julia983]

They're deffo one of my favs!!! :)

Seen them live once at a radio concert with about 300 peeps in the crowd. Was amazing!!
Had tickets to their last show in my town, but I was sick, so there was no way I could go to see them again :rolleyes: !

Can't wait for their next tour :)

[abomufc108]

is that depressing song in Wedding Crusher a Jimmy eat world song ?

[MichelleLBC]

not too sure but i dont know if its just me or if i just like bands old stuff more than their new stuff. loved all of the their stuff when they were just coming out and getting more popular.

[Bliss :)]

Looking forward to their new album in September. Hopefully it will be more similar to Clarity/Bleed American

[samanthrax]

wheres the option 'GREAT'?! i saw jew at the commodore in vancouver, practically front row, and i got their setlist!! :D

[ShipOfFools]

Just got tickets to go see them live in Feb 2011. Should be a great show...they never come around here, so this is an event!

I love all their albums, and Invented is my fourth favorite Jimmy Eat World album.

Ranking:

1. Clarity
2. Bleed American
3. Futures
4. Invented
5. Chase This Light
6. Static Prevails
7. s/t

Although I love everything I've heard from this band. They remind me of a mash up between U2 and Radiohead, which is awesome.

[Joseph.]

Just saw them live. The band was a 8/10 but the crowd was SO DULL. Oh my god, no life at all.
