Bleed American is one most well rounded, polished, and intelligently written albums I have ever heard from any rock band. It remains to be my personal favorite.
Bleed American (Later re-released as Jimmy Eat World after Sept. 11, 2001) is a great example of lyrical and musical rock genius at its best. With an impressive variety of styles, songs range from very soft and mellow like "Hear You Me" to excellent hard rock tracks like "Bleed American". J.E.W. is able to capture youth and life perfectly through pure unadulterated great music and inspiring lyrics. Jimmy Eat World is, indeed in a class of their own. This album is a must buy for any decent rock fan.

I purchased this on the advice of two friends. How well I know these two is significant in that I only knew them for one month. After getting the disc and listening to it once through I was not wanting to listen to it again. While driving to work, I started to hear this melody in my brain, then another and then another. I was blown away, for very few, if any album sits and stews in my brain and allows me to recall verses, melodies and the such. This album is excellent. I know very little about JEW. But this is good music. Every song from the beginning to end is top-notch. Authority song is one of my favs, but so is don't don't. Heck, the entire disc is my fav. Just purchase it and enjoy.

In 2001 Jimmy Eat World released this album, and the first single was actually Bleed American which did well. But the release shortly their after of The Middle, rocketed them to sucess. This album to me is a culmonation of "The college rock" and the 90's harder rock. Songs like here you me, your house, and if you don't don't are have are more emotional, scaled down melodies that remind me of bands like Better than Ezra and the Nixons from college rock days. But the band hits the album off with a harder, edgy Bleed american song that resounds of sound from rock band in the 90's like candlebox, or everclear. This album has everything, and great lyrics as well. A classic early in the decade. The album was originally itself titled "bleed american", But 9-11 occurred that year and the album became self-titled for obvious reasons. Also the name for the song bleed american was changed for singles release to Salt sweet sugar. The song title change never made it to the album though. Great Album, great songs, and I feel it is a classic in my collection. Check it out.

First off, I really think jimmy isn't emo at all, they rock hard, I think its cause they dont sing through thier nose that they get classified like that... ANYWAY.
This CD basically got JEW to own all other bands at the time, the radio in the early 0's played hits from this album ALL DAY. This is a great CD. Nearly every song rocks the house, and those that dont are still really good.
