robotnerd Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 the demos were pretty good, but they gave me false hope. this is by far the worst thing they've ever done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Okay, I spoke too soon, they gave it 88%. But the average user score is 95%, both of which are still way too high for a mediocre record. http://absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=271800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 this is making me afraid to listen to this record. "a sunday" just played earlier, with my itunes on shuffle. god thats a good song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have yet to hear this, but I heard a sample of a song on their myspace and liked it. Is this wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchwarmer Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 yea, a very poor effort from these boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicker Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Jimmy Eat World has pretty much been making the same album for years now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scriptedrain Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Agreed. I liked the "Stay on My Side Tonight" EP, though. - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm a huge JEW fanboy and this just plain sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle350 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 wow. I was really looking forward to hearing this. That sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingbuzzo Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I don't think its that bad. I do agree that they've been making the same album the past few full lengths but I don't hate them for it. I thought Futures was really good and Stay On My Side Tonight was pretty great. In fact, it might have been too good because when I first head the new album I was disappointed. After listening to it for a week or so I like it quite a bit. It isn't going to replace Clarity as my favorite or anything but it'll be nice to listen to every once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 "Dizzy" is awesome though. The rest is just kinda...... like album filler. Not "bad" but not great. I'm listening to it a bunch now but in a couple of years I'll probably won't. But yeah. Jimmy Eat World always seem to close out their albums with awesome songs. and Stay On My Side Tonight was incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 i disagree. i actually think the album is very good. maybe not up to the standards of their previous efforts but its still enjoyable and catchy. and even then if you think its a poor effort on their part, a bad JEW album is still worlds better than the majority of the crap they have to compete with.

cadetapplesauce Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 i haven't heard the new album yet, but i don't like some of the electronic parts they mix in (like in "Pain"). that song about drugs on Futures kinda sucked, in my opinion.

magalvsr13 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 its pretty good in my opinion, but its nothing compared to futures or anything of the previous output Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
