Jimmy Eat World “Work”

March 13th, 2009 | by admin |


Once a trailblazing name in the mid-’90s emocore scene, Jimmy Eat World steadily rose to national prominence by embracing a blend of alternative rock and power pop that targeted the heart as well as the head. While the band’s influence widened considerably with 1999’s Clarity — an album that has since emerged as a landmark of the emo genre — it was the band’s self-produced follow-up (specifically the infectious single “The Middle”) that crowned them as major figures in commercial rock. The emo label proved difficult to shake throughout the 2000s, even when subsequent albums Futures and Chase This Light did little to evoke the hard-edged sensitivity of Clarity, but Jimmy Eat World nevertheless remained a league above the generation of emocore torch-bearers they’d helped influence.

    Who ever said they were Emo, really doesn’t know music. I like to think that Jimmy is Alt. Rock. No, I know that Jimmy is alt rock.

    They’re not emo. Their music is absolutely beautiful.

    I love almost every song they’ve ever played. By far possibly the best band (in terms of sound, range, and variety of audience) I have ever been exposed to.

    No. It may change if you want it. listen to his songs,read a few books and “everything will be just fine”

    well, that’s life, everyday, it’s all the same, we’re caught on this planet, and if there truely was a “god” he would’ve helped us out of here, though…
    we shouldn’t take life too seriously, we wont get out alife anyway.

    make the best of it you can, and make every good memory count.
    life is life, and it wouldn’t change I think.

    you take freedom of press for granted.
