dapeebs Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 you guys really hating on damage that much? that's up there for me...thought it was phenomenal start to finishits definitely a great album. But I remember listening to it and thought it was to "lovey." Now I love JEW and know that love and relationships are the basis of pretty much every song, but instead of a deep, emotional feeling that an album like Futures gave me, Damage seemed more fake and more accessible to the kind of love songs that are given radioplay. And to be fair, writing love songs for that long would probably make me cynical. Could be what happened.But I honestly just need to give it a few more proper spins... sorry for the rant haha.

futures Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'm not hating on Damage at all. These guys are my favorite band of all time (see username) and it's seriously so hard to rank the albums. I don't like doing it haha. The only reason why I ended with Invented/Damage like that is because they're newer and I haven't spent the amount of time on those as I did growing up with the rest of the discography. I think each record can fit any given mood and that's one of the things I love most about this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinOutWarped Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Chase This Light is a great album. I can't believe people like Invented more. They kind of lost me after that. Damages was just okay-ish for me. somber_silt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemeterytapes Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The 3 original tracks on SOMST are pretty great, but the remix and the Heatmiser cover are quite weak in my opinion, which lets the EP down a little. Just the fact that the Heatmiser cover EXISTS makes me so happy that I automatically love it. Also, I do just think it's really good.

cemeterytapes Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Every time you guys say bad things about Static Prevails, Tom Linton sheds a single tear. I saw them live last December and I was standing right in front of Tom. They played Blister and I sang along and afterwards he reached down and gave me his guitar pick. sergeantscruffy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harley Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I think I wrote this in another JEW thread, but the best album argument seems to fall a bit along generational lines. The older folks I think are going to gravitate towards Clarity, like myself, because we all heard that album when it was released (or shortly after). It was quite the amazing album, probably the best "emo" (of the late 90s catch-all variety) album there is. Even my friends who would rather listen to Combat Wounded Veteran than the Get Up Kids liked Clarity. One could make a case for Bleed American being their best album, but for me Clarity perfectly balances the beauty and rawness that they had at that stage, as a true emo-rock band. Anyway, I'm going to bet most of the people who rank Futures as their favorite, either heard Bleed American first or Futures first and are a little bit younger than the Clarity folks. thespungo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yocaseycasey Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 It's funny, because I can't agree with anyone's ranking of the JEW albums unless it is my own. I think the generational comment is correct, but I don't think generational is the proper word. I think it just depends on what 2 albums you found first, and those are going to be the first two albums on your list (or at least 2 of the top 4). I am 29 (freshly) and found Bleed American first, followed by discovering Clarity. However, Futures came out in 2004 and I was immediately drawn to it. Chase This Light was too great to put lower in the list. It is the most overlooked JEW album. Most of us have reached a consensus that Invented is terrible, and Static just doesn't seem like it should be included in most lists. Anywho, the moral of the story is that everyone should have feelings about this band, and it doesn't really matter where you place what record. thespungo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I've been to the first London show. When I heard that they will play Clarity and Bleed American in their entirety I immediately bought tickets and booked flights. Just a week after that they announced a C/BA show in Germany, which would have been way cheaper. No regrets though, they've been as good as always.
