Amazon.co.uk Review
On Bleed American, 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

Customer Reviews

j.e.w rock!
tracks 1,2,3 and 5. on a different level. probably say i didnt enjoy the others when i first started listening. but they grow on you. if you like jimmy eat world. they sounds a little like yellowcard. enjoyable album. highly recommend.

Perfection - a must own
I bought this album after having heard 'In the Middle' and never before have I gotten so incredibly lucky at the calibre of the rest of the album. Along with Jeff Buckley's 'Grace' this is one of the few albums I would truely consider to be perfection.

This is most definately the best album they have yet offered (Second would be clarity and last would be the somewhat drab futures), varying from expertly layered passionate songs, driving rock and heart warming ballards.

This is a must own

If you don't own this, get it now.
I've had this album for about 3 years now, and not one week has gone by without listening to it at least once. Fantastic pop rock, I defy anyone to listen to this and not love it. I usually go for much heavier stuff than this like Queens of The Stone Age but once you've heard it theres nothing you can do to stop it taking hold of you! Standout tracks for me have to be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Its that good.
