    I like Jimmy Eat World. I like 90% of the previous songs. After they released MY BEST THEORY (which is damn fantastic song) I was really excited to see what the rest of the album was like. I paid £10.99 to get the deluxe album and just had a listen through it, and well, I'm very disappointed. My Best Theory is a fantastic song, its SUCH a shame the rest of the album isn't onI like Jimmy Eat World. I like 90% of the previous songs.

    If there's one thing that this Arizonan four-piece have been masters of since their inception in the early '90s, it's consistently possessing the over-bearing sentimentality of a teenage girl. Their seventh studio album certainly doesn't veer very far from their past emotional sensibilities.

    The reality is that it's more complicated than simply saying I preferred their early stuff, because all bands have to change. The fact is though, it's impossible to forget that Jimmy Eat World can, and have, done so much better.

    'Coffee And Cigarettes' and the title track slowly uncurl themselves over the course of a few days and before you know it, it feels like Jimmy Eat World never went away.
