Bleed American (studio album)
by Jimmy Eat World

Decent pop/rock but with a bit of tempo behind them. Kicks off with the best tracks then dips a bit in the back half. Their sound is mostly buoyant. A big plus with this is that their slower ballad like songs are actually really good. Overall, this is alright

Banger. Very simple but great songwriting.

Always thought the title track was very excellent and finally listening to the album it's as good as you could probably get for this type of thing. 'this type of thing ' being not normally my thing but generally this is fairly agreeable. They don't seem naff and cheesy like many in this arena.

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

Bleed American and blink-182's self-titled effort helped transition emo from the 90s to the 2000s, ushering in a new wave. Bands would start popping up every other minute, the Fall Out Boys, the My Chemical Romances, and the Panic! at the Discos. This album is the last of it's kind, good emo.

Not really, but there was a whole tsunami of shit in the 2000s and this stands out for obvious reasons. (It's actually good.)

So far, every other pop-punk album I've gone back and listened to years later has been pretty horrible. This one is actually better than I remembered!

I'm not a pop punk fan, but this is good

This album defined the emo scene for the early 2000s and holds up to that standard today. There’s something about the guitar solo in The Middle that gets me singing every time.

This album hits hard with a few good songs in The Sweetness, Bleed American, and The Middle; but it is overall a pretty average album.

Fairly pedestrian run of the mill stuff here, not in my music wheel house
