The band drop the tempo further for the brooding 'It Matters' before they unleash some crunching chords on 'Get Right', but this lacks the hooks that were evident in the early stages of the album. It has the hallmarks of the band at their best an infectious energy that doesn't displace their tune, something that follows into the slower 'Sure And Certain'. Though at times placed in the punk-rock crowd, JEW have always been much more of a melodic beast, something that is apparent from the opening 'You With Me'. Now onto album nine, the quartet are in a touring schedule that will take in Europe, and both North and South America. Formed 23 years ago in Arizona, Jimmy Eat World were part of the popularity explosion of American guitar music at the turn of the Millennium, spawning the platinum record 'Bleed American'.
