The studio version is superior in all aspects except one: guitar tone

The tone they used to demo nothing wrong is the heaviest guitar tone I've ever heard from JEW. It's so thick and crunchy. Listening to the two versions back to back it's like a night and day difference

Just tonight is a similar story. The guitar's sound a bit heavier on the demo. I don't think it's as noticeable as nothing wrong tho

I know I'm hella late to it and it may have been mentioned before, but they played what seemed like a completely different song and just plugged the lyrics to "your house" in when they played WWWY Sunday. Where I was no one even seemed to notice. Is there like an alternate version or something? Did anyone else notice?

first time really listening to this song, and I’m realizing how incredible it is. Why was this not included on any of their albums?

Jimmy really has a way with words.

Seems like these are usually ppl's least favorite albums. Curious to see which is liked more.

To me neither album is very consistent with lots of peaks and valleys. Out of the two of them, considering all their songs, I'd have to say "I will steal you back" is by far my favorite. So going off that i guess I'd take damage

Hello friends. Back in the early iTunes days, I had either a demo version or early recording or alternate version of “Hear You Me.” Saw JEW recently at the WWWYF and watching them perform took me back to hearing this version which is particularly special to me. I can’t seem to recover it from my iTunes library and can’t find it anywhere online but I know it exists. It is very similar to the original but a little slower (I think), an different chord played throughout the song, and Jim singing a little louder (yelling almost) towards the end of the song. It is NOT the Inner Ear Session version. Any help you can give me finding this version is greatly appreciated!

Accidentaly bought two Tickets for the wrong City. If youre interested, let me know

We all know they have too many excellent songs to build a setlist to satisfy everybody but what is your personal perfect 25 song setlist? Not the setlist that you thing would satisfy the most people, but your own personal setlist. Edit: changed 20 to 25

Is the area around here...safe? I've got a ticket to see them on the 15th. I'm a lone female and London terrifies me. I'm only travelling up from Hampshire, but I'm wondering if it's worth going to if the venue is so far away.

Chase This Light is an album I always forget about, but I actually quite like it. Every time I hear Dizzy, I think about the part where they say “take it all back, take it all back” and it always reminds me of several years ago, JEW opened for Incubus and Judah and the Lion opened for JEW. I’d never heard of Judah, but they were pretty good and I started listening to them. At some point, it clicked. They have a song called “Take it All Back,” probably their most well known song. Did they get the inspiration for that song from Dizzy? Does anybody know? Has anybody else noticed this?

Does anyone Have an idea how the setlist will Look like on the next Shows?

I'm relatively new to Jimmy, I've listened to all of Futures (and LOVED it) and all of Bleed American. My favorites from that one are Bleed and Sweetness, so I'd like any suggestions of somewhat heavier songs by Jimmy in the same vein as those two (as well as Pain, I feel).

Hi guys,

I have 2 tickets available for Jimmy Eat World at Alexandra Palace, London on 15th November. Asking for face value, please let me know if you're interested.

Thanks!

I just love this song… shame it’s not on Spotify… I’m only able to hear it on YouTube if i can find it.. there’s been times I’ve looked for it by track name and nothing comes up..

Seeing JEW in Glasgow next month - so excited as it's been a while! Any thoughts on potential set lists? I'll be happy with anything tbh! My bf is coming with me and I've been trying to get him to listen to stuff so he's familiar with it and enjoys the gig more. I made playlist for him but it's way too long (too many good songs to choose from haha) So trying to narrow it down! I've had a look at the setlists from the recent US tour and I'd be very happy with that!

That was unreal. The guitar tone Jim had for the song was incredible. Would love to know what modulation he preset his Axe FX for it.

Also, was sweet seeing Tom use a modded tele for Kill!
