Futures by Jimmy Eat World

Pros: It's painted with naught but radiant luminescence, period

Cons: Maybe 'Night Drive' could qualify

The Bottom Line: 'Say hello to good times.'

Review: AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is an entry into my own 'Buried Treasure Write-Off,' which I would love for you to join if, in this bustling metropolis called Epinions, you have a spare moment of time. Details her e. And ...

Pros: Good production, decent guitar work, amazing atmosphere.

Cons: Using Liz Phair as a backing vocalist, and Night Drive.

The Bottom Line: Captures the melody of the early albums, and mixes it in with the hard rock urgency of "Bleed American". One of their finest studio efforts so far.

Review: I've been a fan of Jimmy Eat World ever since I bought their first album "Static Prevails", and I've always loved the way they change their style on every album, but still manage to keep every track different from anything they've ever recorded. Their ...

Pros: None... Except that it's the Greatest Album of 2004, or maybe ALL-TIME.

Cons: Initially, Night Drive... But the damn thing grew on me, too. 11 songs.

The Bottom Line: With a dash of heart and originality not seen in Alt Rock since... ANYBODY... Jimmy Eat World's fourth album is their ROCK MASTERPIECE... Deserves to be heard.

Review: HYPOTHESIS: (See Title) FUTURES. As I so boldly stated in the title, it is my opinion that FUTURES is the Best Album of the last Five Years, and that's saying quite a bit. So before you guys lynch me for treason... (How dare I speak out against Creed, ...

Pros: Zach Lind, Some brilliance

Cons: A few weaker songs

The Bottom Line: If you're a fan of Pop/Punk/Emo at all, pick it up

Review: I first heard of JEW a few years ago through one of my friends, who handed me their Bleed American album. All I knew of them was they had a biggish hit in "The Middle", which I quite liked. To cut a long story short, I loved a few songs on the album, but ...

Pros: Great overall album fluidity

Cons: Singles are the best of what you'll get

The Bottom Line: Buy this album, it will make you think about everything in your life, past, present of Future

Review: Futures by Jimmy Eat World is a masterpiece and not just the singles. The fourth installment from Jimmy Eat World goes back to the Clarity days of the band in terms of lyrics, musical feel and style. The songs on the album are written purely for ...

Pros: Great guitar work. Good lyrics. Good mix of soft and hard songs, easy to like.

Cons: In one or two songs, lyrics are cheesy. Song "Polaris" is a bit boring.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this album to anyone who won't harshly dismiss because of the rare, afformentioned cheesy lyrics in one or two songs. Anyone who likes softer rock with some edge.

Review: It wasn't too long ago that I wasn't a Jimmy Eat World fan. Sure I had heard a couple of their songs, namely "The Middle" off the Bleed American album, but I hadn't really taken enough interest in them to buy one of their albums. That all changed when I ...

Pros: Dynamic, consistent, alternative rock, a solid album

Cons: Track #7: Drugs or Me. Might need to be on drugs to enjoy it

Review: In these times of musical flaky-ness and sell outs, Jimmy EW has stayed consistent with their alternative rock style and put forth yet another solid album. This is one of those albums that can be played from start to finish, repeatedly. While the album ...

Pros: about half the album

Cons: the other half

The Bottom Line: 3.5, rounded up to 4, mostly cuz I've just seen JEW live. They rocked.

Review: Jimmy Eat World has always been a bit of a hit-or-miss band with me. For some reason, I have all of their albums (I was surprised too when I realised it), and I like Bleed American. It's not a classic, but there's just something about it. I think ...

Pros: Artistic growth; A good mix of rockers and ballads

Cons: A bit too short; A few flops

The Bottom Line: Takes some adjustment, but on the whole it's an improvement from the band's previous work

Review: Jimmy Eat World, after lurking around the indie scene, struck major pay-dirt with B leed American, an album predestined for mainstream success with its hooky anthems and feel-good lyrics in hits like "The ...

Pros: Eclectic tunes; Jimmy Eat World advances musically

Cons: A few missteps

The Bottom Line: Perhaps the second best Jimmy Eat World album, Futures, is a solid listen. Keep an open mind and you'll learn to like it.

Review: Mesa, Arizona can lay the claim to fame for one of the more enigmatic groups in music today, Jimmy Eat World. A quartet that penned the smash-hit party song, "The Middle," Jimmy Eat World started their career off ten years ago. After swithing bass ...
