Advantages: somebodys blues
Disadvantages: yes its typical but they are gooood

...ok this is similar to past albums but still its an improvement because they are amazing i wouldnt say they are my favourite band but they are one of. jimmy eat world are a rock / pop punk/ emo kind of band. fans are usually into Motion city soundtrack / fall out boy / you me at six ect. a few of the songs seem to have the same tune but all of the songs are very catchy and i cant stop playing it after about 2 monthes of having it. one of the songs that really surprised me on the album was somebody's blues. i found this song very touching and it is quite slow. i particulalry like this band and this album because every song has a good meaning to it. the songs on the album are - Big Casino Let It Happen Always Be Carry You Electable (Give It Up) Gotta Be Somebody's Blues Feeling Lucky Here It Goes Chase This Light Firefight Dizzy Yes...

Advantages: Bouncy and energetic
Disadvantages: How can there be? Its Jimmy Eat World

Some might say they just churn out the same old stuff each year but I say why change a good thing?

From the moment you put the cd in the player and press play you are greeted by typical Jimmy Eat World sounds. Chase This Light picks up from where Futures left off.
