Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light

Label: Interscope
Rating: 3 Guns

Teen-Angst Rockers, Jimmy Eat World are back with an 11-track collection of feel-good break-up songs. "Chase This Light," the Arizona rockers' newest effort, delivers. Similar in style to "Futures" and "Bleed American" the new record is worth buying (or downloading.)

"Big Casino," the album's first single opens the CD appropriately, with singer Jim Adkins' signature whine, and cluttered lyrics. There's some good lines in this one, "Got on old guitar, I've had for years, I'd let you buy," or my personal favorite, "There's a lot of bright ideas in books I've never read, but when the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had."

"Let it Happen" follows suit, and is yet another rocker. If you're into Jimmy Eat world's harder stuff, you'll also like "Electable" and "Feeling Lucky." The latter two songs are complete with loud guitars and hooky choruses.

The rest of the album is fairly soft, but some stan-out tracks are "Carry You," "Gotta Be Somebody's Blues," "Chase This Light," and "Dizzy."

After listening to the album several times, my current favorite song is "Firefight," a song that follows the Rock music standard of soft crooning verses and heavy-as-hell choruses.
