The MUSIC That Brings Back Old Memories

Monday, September 24, 2007

Just yesterday in the car we were talking about my favorite bands from high school.  One of the bands that really got me into music was Jimmy Eat World.  They have been one of my favorites for a long time but not a hardcore fan with only seeing them perform live 6 times.  Take it back: High school, Sophomore year, my first song I heard was Blister from Clarity album which was arguably their best. I would later receive that album as a gift from a good friend.  I was hooked as I quickly discovered Static Prevails.  These songs are backgrounds to a lot of memories and feelings, you all know what I mean!  They would go on to make two more albums with a consistent sound balancing rock and a softer side which gained my attention early on.  

About 3 years later, JEW is back with Chase This Light dropping on October 16th with a full tour kickin'-off at the Prochnow Auditorium in Flagstaff.  The New album has that same poppy-ness of Bleed America accompanied by lots of guitar shreds.  And of course the inevitable radio-fever songs for the masses including the emotional feeding for 12 year old girls, but still gotta love them.  For more go here and here.  Check out the single now!

thanks for posting this, I saw it on other blogs but they disappeared. strangeness. I have loved jimmy eat world since clarity so I know what you mean exactly. the new album sounds like bleed and futures. in other words you're right. but yes again you are right cause i probably will end up liking tihs one too. but yea...12 year olds and such would make for a strange performance. okay bbq
