Jimmy Eat World

Hip-pop lover, but loooooves this cd

Review Score:

(10/10)
Okay, I'm your typical black guy that listens to R&B and rap and all, and I love them. ..but for real, this Jimmy Eat World CD blew me away and still remains in my cd changer after months and months. It's sensational blend of hard guitar banging and "by-the-fireplace" slow songs really conform to any mood you are in. My favorite "hard" songs are "The Middle, Sweetness, and Get if Faster." With Get if Faster, I love the build up from a quiet strum bass to ecstatic metal jamming in the chorus. The words, although harsh, are very idealistic of how we truly feel when we're bitter at someone we love or someone who's hurt us. As many of their lyrics posses, Jimmy Eat World speaks words that are true to the heart, deep, and ones that we can identify with. But amidst the hard rock, my favorites are the slow song. Every morning, I wake up to "Hear You Me" on my cd player alarm. It's sad (cause it's about death), but just listening to it makes me feel relaxed and really puts me in "think mode." A place I love to be. And "Your House" just gets me going, one of those songs you mime to and grab your shirt emphatically with. Great slower tempo, yet jiving song. Lastly, "My Sundown" soothes my thoughts and just seems to smoothen things out for me. A very quiet song, with a profound message of how much people really care. It allows me to think deeper and reflect on whatever's going on. Anyway, I hope this review has truly helped. . .and while I stay true to R&B, I'll forever buy Jimmy Eat World, can't wait for the next one.
