derek's essentials #8: jimmy eat world - clarity

jimmy eat world - clarity
"capitol", 1999

Yeah, lame band, lame fans, lame everything. But what I know is that the songs on this album are incredibly written and just make me feel really happy. If you can look past your elitism, then I honestly give this a high recommendation.

another album i used to love. i haven't listened to it in years, but the last song is really good if i can remember correctly.

Derek · 01.04.2009, 04:30 PM

I like them all personally. Just a good set of songs.

ZEROpumpkins · 01.04.2009, 05:16 PM

Yeah I've considered buying some of JEW's (bahaha, what a great acronym) albums, but I'm hesitant. What's Static Prevails like?

atsonicpark · 01.04.2009, 05:21 PM

Yeah this record is really good. Loved it when I was 13.

atsonicpark · 01.04.2009, 05:21 PM

That reminds me, I think my next classic album post will be about a sunny day real estate album..

ZEROpumpkins · 01.04.2009, 05:25 PM

Bout time. LP2, I assume?

atsonicpark · 01.04.2009, 05:37 PM

Yes!!

Derek · 01.04.2009, 05:43 PM

Sunny Day Real Estate are great... listened to them a lot in my emo phase.

And I've not actually heard Static Prevails, sorry.

Toilet & Bowels · 01.04.2009, 08:33 PM

what next, offspring? nofx? pennywise? papa roach?

atsonicpark · 01.04.2009, 08:42 PM

Pennywise are the best band you mentioned.

pbradley · 01.04.2009, 09:10 PM

The last time someone told me to look past my elitism was for Poison's "Talk Dirty To Me."

pennywise is the best just because a dude in the band died.

JEW is quite an underrated band, quality-wise. I don't think they've ever sucked, and they're well aware of their talents and shortcomings. I really don't think they've made a bad record. Bad songs, yeah, but they always come out ahead.

I asked my girlfriend for Clarity for Christmas in high school, and she had to go to like five stores for it. And now I always think of it as a Christmas album, which I think isn't far off.

Anyway, nostalgia aside, it's still a great CD.

ZEROpumpkins · 01.05.2009, 06:45 PM

Sweet, I might pick it up then.

Well hell, any number of bands could be cool if that's the only criteria.

Sonic Youth 37 · 01.05.2009, 10:12 PM

I like Bleed American better than this one, but it's still good.

I love The Offspring... their early Epitaph records are solid.
