if y'all like livestreams they're doing three over the next few months, each covering a different album in their discog. first was tonight, playing surviving, and it fucking whipped ass, and even though it's over you apparently can buy tickets afterward to watch it on demand https://www.jimmyeatworldlive.com/

"congratulations" was like.... even better than i thought it would be
also next few weeks* not months
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 15 January 2021 23:00 (three years ago) link
"congratulations" is one of my favorite running songs of the last few years

really good discussion of recording surviving, including a story about justin meldal-johnsen driving down hollywood blvd. blasting ratt's out of the cellar and throwing the devil horns

today's the futures show! my least favorite of their major albums but it's gonna rip live
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 17:16 (three years ago) link
oh now im interested in your JEW album rankings. futures would be up there for me

clarityintegrity bluessurvivingbleed americaninventedfutureschase this lightstatic prevailsdamage
futures is just... slightly too dirge-y? it's still great but i kinda lose the thread right after "pain"
never heard the s/t, nothing anyone's said about it makes it seem worth hearing lol
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:38 (three years ago) link
Integrity Blues and Futures are both "tremendous highs, regrettable lows" for me, boringly I think Bleed American is my favorite now
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:41 (three years ago) link
wait what are the lows on futures!?
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:54 (three years ago) link
i dont really care for just tonight but thats about it
"drugs or me" and "night drive" do not completely work for me and never have. i still listen to them all the time lol
i'm expecting the live set to change my mind about this tbh
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:56 (three years ago) link
"polaris" is potentially the goat jimmy eat world song tho
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:57 (three years ago) link
"drugs or me" is nails on chalkboard awful to me lol
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:58 (three years ago) link
wow ok. i do kinda wish they rocked it out like on the demo thohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frD86e-S3_k

only record i havent spent time with is Invented.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:13 (three years ago) link
my high ranking of invented is very personal, if i dial back at all i can see it's a flawed record, but it's also the record that soundtracked my move to new york ten years ago
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:14 (three years ago) link
it has an odd status in the discog i think, it is clearly a throwback to clarity in many ways (trombino on production, tom sings lead on a song toward the end), but the songwriting isn't a throwback at all, adkins was exploring writing from different perspectives and his stuff from around this period and damage has kind of a stately singer-songwriter vibe to it
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:17 (three years ago) link
not really feeling the first couple of tracks..
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:23 (three years ago) link
adkins was exploring writing from different perspectives
I feel like this is almost actively discouraged of late so I do like this idea, though that album hasn't really clicked for me yet

oh man, the opener is the best!!!! but also the album doesn't really find footing until "movielike"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:26 (three years ago) link
"my best theory" feels like a lead single from a different album, it is very out of place
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:27 (three years ago) link
lol, again, it's got a lot of problems, i love it so anyway
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Friday, January 29, 2021 1:23 PM (four minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink
he was getting really into cindy sherman photography around the time and the byproduct of that is a lot of the album is from a woman's perspective
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:28 (three years ago) link
"coffee and cigarettes" for instance. and he does it without calling attention to the device at all, which is how it should be
oh man, the opener is the best!!!!
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, January 29, 2021 1:26 PM (three minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink
little too much mumford and sons stompity stomping for me
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:31 (three years ago) link
oh lol i can see that. it does predate when that style became inescapable but unfortunately does not quite predate patient zero, "home"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:57 (three years ago) link
invented is also the reason i know about courtney marie andrews, she did the backing vocals on the record and toured with them and is a really amazing songwriter in her own right
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:18 (three years ago) link
love that i dont know if youre talking about the edward sharp home or the phillip phillips home lol
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:19 (three years ago) link
i was talking about the edward sharpe home but also lol
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:22 (three years ago) link
liking movielike, coffee and cigs and evidence from the front half of this. stop is good too. a lot more soaring electric guitar leads than im used to maybe.
littlething is sounding great.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:23 (three years ago) link
i just got to "littlething" myself and remembered how often i've cried to this record, "lol"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:26 (three years ago) link
yah instant rewind on that one. perfect song there.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:27 (three years ago) link
the title track!
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:42 (three years ago) link
i may have slept on this album
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:43 (three years ago) link
the title track is incredible. i covered it at an open mic night once
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:43 (three years ago) link
haha nice.
and they follow it up with another epic what is this album.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:51 (three years ago) link
imo "just tonight" is a ripper. dark hair metal jam
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:11 (three years ago) link
i say that bc they are playing it now
ah jealous
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:14 (three years ago) link
"the world you love"... incredible
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:21 (three years ago) link
"kill" is also the best song ever
"kill" is top 5 for sure
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:23 (three years ago) link
i love kill and the world you love.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:25 (three years ago) link
lmao well yeah this staging and arrangement are finally selling me on "drugs or me"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:27 (three years ago) link
im gonna cry thinking about you crying to 23
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:28 (three years ago) link
lmao it's gonna happen
