Invented - Jimmy Eat World Review

Invented
On first Listen, I was disappointed, I didn’t hear anything that really stood out to me, It was different, slow haunting, but not what I expected. To be honest nothing has really ever been as good as Bleed American or Futures for me, musically as well as lyrically. After a while the CD, does begin to grow on you, which disappointed me because I was always impressed with Jimmy Eat World’s ability to grab you from the get go. There are some great songs: Movielike grabs you with Jim’s Vocals and his great lyrics that we’ve all come to love, Littlething is another song that will be a favourite, bringing together ballad formations that haven’t been heard since Hear You Me and Kill. You’ll deffinately hear this song on a romantic comedy within a year. I was also let down because usually the first single is a great song, but blown away by the rest of the album, However My Best Theory is one of the Best songs on the album, and other songs like Invented and Mixtape, are a complete loss of empty lyrics floating in a trouble melodic sea. Still better than Static Prevails, but not much. There are some amazing songs, some that are being added to my top favourites, and like I said it’s still growing on me, but this album is nothing compared to Bleed American or Futures. Jimmy Eat World Shows that they can still do it, but that they maybe need to take a little more time between albums to make sure they get the best quality they can. Probably because I have a soft spot for Jimmy, cuz their still the greatest band, I'm giving this one an 8/10.
