Product Description

On Bleed American, emo-rock band Jimmy Eat World exemplify all that is the modern radio rock sound. Singing and playing with a conviction and sincerity that will melt the heart of even the most stoic of listeners, they produce rousing, well-crafted anthems along the lines of Third Eye Blind at their roughest or a more polished Green Day. These guys appear to be able to write ready-made singles at the drop of a hat, as evidenced by "Your House" as well as the title track. In fact, there is a rather shocking maturity to their material that belies the band members' ages (all in their 20s). While they sometimes veer into cringe-worthy power-ballad territory, overall Jimmy Eat World give the people what they want with Bleed American. --Ike Bolton

I'm sorry, but there are only a few bands out there who can claim my absolute devotion. Jimmy Eat World just happens to be one of them. There just doesn't seem to be an end their musical prowess. For those who have just recently heard of them via the radio and are contemplating buying the CD, wait no longer. Buy the thing. It is worth every dang penny. For those old school fans, you should buy it, too. Yeah, it is very different from the likes of Static Prevails, but so was Clarity, and you liked it. It took some time, but you cottoned to it. Same thing with Bleed American. Once it grew on me it didn't leave my CD player for three weeks. Honestly, folks, one of the best discs ever by one of the best groups ever.

It's really easy to get into this album right from the start. Bleed American (as it was originally titled) touts the right combination of melodic rock and slower ballads for a terrific rock and roll record. The album has a very poppy feel pretty much the whole way through, and Jimmy Eat World proves that this doesn't necessarily have to be a negative aspect. This translates into an album which could theoretically find its way on a movie or television soundtrack because of the type of easily digested superbly written songs that exist throughout. (Tell me that "The Middle" wouldn't fit perfectly into an 1980's John Cusak flick about overcoming the high school odds and getting the girl!) Anyway, if you're looking for something completely new in uncharted territory; you might need to pick up one of their earlier records. If your looking for a simply great rock and roll record, pick this one up.
