Emo-rock band Jimmy Eat World exemplify all that is the modern radio rock sound. Singing and playing with a conviction and sincerity that will melt the heart of even the most stoic of listeners, they produce rousing, well-crafted anthems along the lines of Third Eye Blind at their roughest or a more polished Green Day. These guys appear to be able to write ready-made singles at the drop of a hat, as evidenced by "Your House" as well as the title track. In fact, there is a rather shocking maturity to their material that belies the band members' ages (all in their 20s). While they sometimes veer into cringe-worthy power-ballad territory, overall Jimmy Eat World give the people what they want with Bleed American. --Ike Bolton

Well, it's catchy. Sharp, hooky, effervescent. Unfortunately the instruments often play like cliches... Repeated chords, choruses, etc. For those of short attention span, kids, I guess. I'm not exactly sure what the cover's supposed to illustrate.. how untalented people win stuff? The lyrics are somewhat earnest, yknow, maybe heartfelt... but, yeah, bland. I guess, like a high-school trophy. Great for a while, but not the high point of anyone's life. Hopefully.

i'm typically more into heavier things like tool, system of a down, oldschool metallica, etc... but this is a pleasure. it's good to have in the car if someone doesn't like metal etc. "sweetness" and "the middle" are my favorites.

Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American has not one awful track on this stellar album. All 11 tracks touch me in some way even The Authority Song! Jim Adkin's vocals are so strong and unforgettable especially on Sweetness and A Praise Chorus. Every album they come out with is flawless, Futures and Chase This Light continue to amaze me, this band is truly talented. If there is one album to buy, this is the one to cherish forever, I know I will. Don't wait buy it and all their other albums as well, you won't ... Read More

Most teens (or adults) would like this CD. I bought it for my teen and find myself borrowing it!

What a great album, it's by far one of the best pop albums of the 2000's.
A great mix of catchy verse/chorus, excellent lyrical content, and addictive melodies. This is an album that has, and will continue to age quite well.
