    They really were excellent last week, and provided the bootleg on the night which was a great touch, and wasnt expensive

    I saw them when they toured to support Bleed America (Self-titled).
    Great energy, they rocked the crowd well. it was a small gig too.

    sweet! I saw them open for Foo Fighters last month and were really really good. I'd actually like to see a full show of theirs. Hopefully they come through, and tix aren't too expensive, I'll be able to go.

    I saw them in November in Pittsburgh. They were great, and they played a great setlist. Having never seen them before, I was hoping for a variety of stuff, and I got it (they did all the best songs from the new album, plus Pain, Work, Lucky Denver Mint, Polaris, and about 7 songs from Bleed American).

    Love some of their songs but hate a bunch as well. Dont think I could tolerate the crowd at this concert, I could imagine it would be a bunch of young skater boys and hollister wearing kids.

    Thats exactly the crowd I found myself in, felt likt someones dad, but to be honest it didnt matter, they were there for a good time, and so was I, the crowd sure does matter but I really go for the music

    Not trying to start an argument on the board, but I found the Jimmy Eat World crowd to be more tolerable than any Pearl Jam crowd I have ever been in.

    Saw them a couple months ago at the Orpheum...the new album is pretty great and the set was fantastic. Were they recording boots for all the shows? I'll be pissed if I missed that...

    i saw you were talking about this song in another jimmy eat world thread.. so I went and bought the cd. at first i thought the ending was too repetitive.. but after a few listens i realized that they did that on purpose. the melody is subtlety changed throughout... creating one giant seque into the part where they are singing. sometimes simplicity acheives the desired effect better than complexity.

    on that note, i smoked a joint a few weeks ago and listened to that outro... and I swear that I was having a conversation with a friend of mine that passed away 2 years ago:eek: and it was more the music, not the weed, that did it. I've never experienced anything like that before! great outro:D
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    ALEX: "ANSWER: The band that has suffered the most from a WRONG labeling from the music industry crowd - who are actually really good and nothing like their label suggests."

    ME: "Who is Jimmy Eat World, Alex"

    ALEX: "Correct, you control the board"

    I wouldn't listen to them until I heard "23" from 'FUTURES' in 2004.....wouldn't listen because they are "so emo."

    WRONG....they are very good and might have a little bit of poppy-nous to them, but so does PJ on some songs.

    They're coming to my university here in a month or two. I'm not going, because I'm not familiar with the band. Plus they're playing with Paramore, who sucks.
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win
