Jimmy Eat World Discuss the Making of "Bleed American" (2002 In-Studio Retrospective)

[@arvisjaggamar]

This entire album is simply lightning in a bottle. A work of genius no other band of their generation could have ever matched.

[@rstelford3532]

This record absolutely saved my life. I can't even begin to thank these guys enough. Thank you for being with me through the hardest part of my life and taking my mind off of suicide for just the right amount of time.

I don't think they even knew what they had in Sweetness. Of course, it would go on to be their most enduring of hits. Doesn't matter how many times I listen to it, personally, I always want to hear it just one more time.

[@arvisjaggamar]

Same. Greatest alt rock song of the generation.

[@MrFoo-xf9gf]

One of the best CDs in my shelf. Reminds me of a beautiful summer in denmark 2003 with my best friend

[@mlkalf6693]

One of my favorite records ...timeless for me

I going to tell a story I remember when in middle school 6th grade.i was waiting for my dad to get out of work (cannon engineering) and across the street I hear epic noise coming from a studio. this is on clean and chandler in North Hollywood. and I didn't know it then but I sure know now and remember it Clearly,it was this band recording this album.

[@monkeywaster]

Awesome. Never saw this before. Getting nostalgic

[@yournamehereplease]

Cautioners has to be one of my favorite Jimmy Eat World songs. I've been obsessed with the robotic guitar sound they describe here (I thought it was midi). This interview was a great find

[@HEREONOUTBAILEY]

This album is my heart ❤️

[@Meadaa]

I went that 80s version of the middle

[@Joe-tl2sz]

One of the best songwriters to come along in a long, long time. Personally, I think you should start with Bleed American and then add to that with Chase this light and Futures. Those recording should be in everyone's collection.

Clarity is before this album and every song on it is amazing.

[@trope5105]

i bought this album for 4 bucks man, in 01 probably,,, i vividly remember, because it was the first album i ever bought with my money. i scanned the thing, heard the clips of the songs on the headphones they used to have, n bought my first cd ever! i probably still have it in my case in storage

[@chodebon75]

sorry zach you guys played cautioners live in SLC in 2011. i was beyond thrilled when i saw it on the setlist.

[@felixcain]

Im not into gibson guitars but i have to admit that, that gibson sounds amazing woowww

[@Candyman_Young]

Cautioners.. It's got that itty bitty ting

[@NESADDICT]

I would have never known who Jimmy eat world was except Tom mentioned them in the urethra chronicles. After that I instantly bought clarity.

[@MReed-iv9op]

Dude. I haven't heard the words "urethra chronicles" in like... decades. Nostalgia hit me hard. Thanks for mentioning that I'm gonna go watch that again.

[@originalvonster]

10:35 varying delay time

[@kurdtjohn]

Cautioners actually sounded more like Ten, from Clarity, in the choruses. Same vibes, almost.

[@hollywooda111]

Lightning in a bottle...

[@robjones7178]

ya know

[@slofty]

Love the music but my god the mids are so scooped out, even on the re-release. Please, will someone mix the tracking on flat equipment? Pretty please?

[@Sleepgarden]

very much disagree on the Sweetness album being better than demo. From the rawness of the sound, Jim's vocals are more high and energetic, that dumb "dink dink dink dink dink" on the piano, things aren't double tracked...
