Swap Hear You Me and Bleed American, then swap The Middle and Cautioners and you got a deal. But we are talking fractions here

jacknow.bsky.social•78 days ago

The Middle basically being their version of Maps or Mr. Brightside but not even being close to their best song is such a weird part of their history

mikelennial.bsky.social•79 days ago

Damn nailed it

aaronblackshear.bsky.social•79 days ago

Demo versions of if you don’t and cautioners were so much better, they got a little rambunctious in the studio

thrilliam19.bsky.social•78 days ago

I clicked on this ready to argue but yeah…this is also my list. Well done.

nickblaubach.bsky.social•78 days ago

Where would "(Splash) Turn Twist" go in these rankings? Or are we strictly by the books no Japanese bonus tracks allowed?

franziamom.bsky.social•78 days ago

7. 6 if they cut 40 seconds off it

braid.bsky.social•78 days ago

they should invent a number better than 1 because praise chorus is that much better than all the other songs

nostaticatall.bsky.social•78 days ago

Top 3 are perfect and interchangeable imo

ceejoyner.bsky.social•78 days ago

Top 3 are definitely correct

pattymo.com•78 days ago

The little Mega Man ass guitar breakdown in “Get It Faster” is top 5 on its own though right

ceejoyner.bsky.social•78 days ago

Hahaha

franziamom.bsky.social•78 days ago

Correct!! That shit rocks ass, such a bummer it’s trapped in that particular song

rustybottoms.bsky.social•78 days ago

when Davey comes in on the bridge 😙👌

expertfrowner.bsky.social•79 days ago

everything pretty much perfect minus the if you don’t don’t placement what the hell is going on there

franziamom.bsky.social•79 days ago

Too low??

swansofnever.bsky.social•79 days ago

I think it's more of an issue that every song on that album is a banger and that's where the chips fall. It's not low because it's bad, it's lower because everything else is that good.

expertfrowner.bsky.social•79 days ago

eh, i disagree with the first part of the premise. pretty easy to slot that record in tiers of quality, just think that track belongs in the very good bucket

swansofnever.bsky.social•78 days ago

It'd probably be 4-5 for me. Mid-tier but mid-tier is still pretty damn good on that album.

expertfrowner.bsky.social•79 days ago

indeed

jesseraub.bsky.social•78 days ago

this is correct

brokenrecord.bsky.social•79 days ago

Not terribly far off from mine, maybe I’d go

1. APC
2. Bleed American
3. Sweetness
4. If You Don’t, Don’t
5. Authority Song
6. Hear You Me
7. Cautioners
8. The Middle
9. Your House
10. My Sundown

…
11. Get It Faster

midtemporocker.bsky.social•78 days ago

a praise chorus is for sure #1 and the hits deserve their respect but I think I have if you don't don't at 3 or 4 if I'm being honest with myself

brokenrecord.bsky.social•78 days ago

It’s a very good song

brokenrecord.bsky.social•79 days ago

The large gap at the bottom here being that I like My Sundown, despite ranking it low

thirstinmore.bsky.social•79 days ago

for me, Authority and Sweetness gotta be flipped but at the high end of this record we’re basically debating varying shades of perfection

motifsinthecity.bsky.social•79 days ago

the middle and get it faster are too low. top 3 is good tho.

franziamom.bsky.social•79 days ago

Those are easily two of the worst Jimmy eat world songs

motifsinthecity.bsky.social•78 days ago

definitely not my view.

i’m not saying either are in the top quarter of their discography but let’s not pretend these two songs are as bad as some of the stuff on surviving. or the entire damage album.
