JIMMY EAT WORLD Futures Album REVIEW! | The SuperJersh Show [#46]

[@DarylMemetic]

I’d give this about an 8 I think. I’d say my top 4 or 5 are pretty interchangeable, 23 could be higher if it had a good edit version. These racks I thought were pretty consistently groovable with throughout whereas I thought some of the middle tracks like Pain, Work and Kill had some parts I really liked, other sections were a little mid, or I thought some of my top few were similar but I may have slightly preferred (and so I was a little surprised at first seeing that Pain and Work were singles over say Just Tonight or Nothing Wrong, although re listening I can see how they also had catchy radio friendly parts.

 Anyway as I said on discord, Apparently about 4 songs from this album (and also some other Jimmy songs including the band performing in show were used in Season 2 of One Tree Hill, so I may have heard bits of these back when I watched that. I also thought some of these tracks gave me slight vibes of some other pop/rock songs/albums from the mid 2000’s, maybe a few Aussie bands/artists too; and I chuckled when Mirrors said Alt because as we discussed back when I gave you the 2000’’s Aussie Alt Rock’ mixtape, that can be a bit of a blurry and subjective descriptor as bit of pop rock can creep into that sometimes as well.

 But (and I may pop a few suggestions in the discord or something later) some of the songs here reminded me of songs by Aussie bands Kisschasy, Something With Numbers, The Getaway Plan, or Gyroscope. Maybe even Snow Patrol slightly - I’d recommend their 2006 album EYES OPEN, which ‘Chasing Cars’ came from you reacted to in my Grey’s Anatomy/50 Shades mixtape and songs from that album soundtracked a whole host of TV shows in the later 2000’s.

My familiarity is probably similar that big song from the album before this IIRC. Anyways heres a bit of a ranking for the moment below.
