They're just not good for you. If you want to criticise the modern rock scene, go ahead. You're just picking on the wrong band for all the wrong reasons. This cd is not clarity, but it's still better than all of the popular music scene. You've got a singer not afraid to lay it all out there lyrically accompanied by musicians with an incredible feel for music. It's hard to describe, you've either got it or you don't. This band has it, in fact they're my favorite band so i'm inclined to say it's unparalleled. If you're looking at this review it's either that you own this cd or maybe you're just checking out cds. If that's the case I suppose you've heard the hit songs "Middle," "Praise Chorus" and "Sweetness." The rest of the songs aren't as poppy, which is generally what I like more from them. That doesn't take away from the other few catchy songs like "Authority Song" or "If You Don't, Don't" though. In fact those are a couple of my favorites on the cd anyway. Just be sure to check out "My Sundown" and "Your House." There's really something for everyone on here, i'm just kind of shocked when I see anyone give this a "1." Open up your ears, it doesn't matter what other people think about this band, it's gotta be your own decision. I have a hard time believing anyone could honestly rate this or any other Jimmy Eat World album lower than a "3."
