That showcases them far better than the uninspiring Jeb songs included on this CD. Think Jimmy Eat World meets Green Day.If you are interested in checking out more Jebediah stuff, I would highly recommend the 'Slightly Odway' album, and in particular their b-side 'Simple' and the singles 'Jerks of Attention' (get the fast version) and 'Teflon'. Jebediah is a pop-punk band, but the similarities end there. Another reason why I consider this combination of bands somewhat strange is that Jimmy is a emo-pop band and appeals to a particular demographic. But being a fan of both bands, I can honestly say that the best Jeb songs are light-years better than even the best Jimmy Eat World songs.
No Sensitivity in particular is quintessential Jimmy Eat World - catchy hook, melodic chorus.
Not a particularly smart way to try and break into the American market.Jimmy Eat World contributes three typically solid songs. 'Animal' was possibly the weakest single they've released, and the other song is a b-side which has never even appeared on one of their albums. What disappointed me with this CD was the inclusion of two sub-par songs by Jebediah. Futures will most likely not be the sensation that Bleed American was - it is too dark and inwardly focused for that - but it shows a progression of sound and emotion that fans of the band should embrace."Let me first say that Jebediah is a superb band. There are a couple of stumbles (the decision to replace Petra Haden's charming vocals with Liz Phair's, the generic "Nothingwrong"), but they don't detract from the overall power of the record. "Just Tonight," "Futures," and the AC/DC-sampling "Pain" are all trademark Jimmy Eat World punky pop/rockers with anthemic choruses, while "The World You Love" and "Work" display the sweetly melodic side of the band. Jim Adkins' vocals are as intense and heart-tugging as ever, and the band still writes hooks that will have you singing along before the song is half over. Some things have remained the same, however. Bleed American is the fourth studio album by American rock band Jimmy Eat World, released on July 24, 2001, by DreamWorks Records.Originally released as Bleed American, it was re-released as Jimmy Eat World following the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., which took place seven weeks after its initial release. The best song on the record, the very Disintegration-era Cure-sounding "23," seems like it was recorded by a different group entirely. The piano-and-feedback ballad "Drugs or Me" and the bittersweet love song "Night Drive" are the products of age and experience the band lacked until now. Secondly, the lyrics are much darker and more mature, including themes that revolve around politics, drugs, and despair. In the process, they sacrificed the immediacy of the previous record, but they gained an epic and weighty feel. The guitars are stacked like thick diamonds, the vocals are way out front and buttressed by sweet harmonies in the choruses, the drums sound large, and the mix is loaded with sweetening from acoustic guitars, keyboards, and female vocals. First, with the help of producer Gil Norton, the band polishes its sound until it shines like a slick '70s arena rock record. Futures gets around this dilemma in two ways.
Many, many groups followed in their wake, crafting a similar blend of melodic, anguished punk-pop and leaving Jimmy Eat World in the position of crafting a follow-up that set them apart from their acolytes.

The massive success of Jimmy Eat World's 2001 Bleed American propelled the band into the mass-culture spotlight, with the hit single "The Middle" seemingly popping up in every third movie released and the group turning in an energized performance on Saturday Night Live.
