Review: Jimmy Eat World - Always Be16 March, 2008 — Stuart Brown

jimmy eat world always be

Alt rockers Jimmy Eat World's latest release to hit the UK chart is Always Be - the second single taken from their fifth album, 'Chase The Light'.

To be honest, I'm really not sure how this sort of thing even qualifies as 'alternative' - it's about as middle-of-the-road as you can get. Inoffensive lyrics, standard issue guitar rhythm and archetypical angsty lyrics about some girl or something. It's the perfect radio-friendly song - and I don't mean this in any good sense.

I guess by the time a band reaches their fifth album they've perfected their individual sound - it's just a shame Jimmy Eat World sound just like everybody else.

Overall

What next?More by Jimmy Eat World? More reviews? More alternative, or emo, or rock?
