4.0 out of 5 stars boston???, July 3, 2002

By	starry0eyed (Ohio) - See all my reviews

First off, Jimmy Eat World is from Arizona. Jimmy Eat World's Singles, while a great CD, is probably at the bottom of my list compared to Bleed American, Clarity and Static Prevails. For the hardcore JEW fan this CD is definately a must since it groups together many songs that could previously only be found on compilations and splits. If you're looking for the more friendly JEW I'd stick with Bleed American though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Album for Fans, December 21, 2000

By	Puoblo - See all my reviews

Truly this album rates 4 and one half stars. Its not as polished as clarity, but then again its a collection of old demos and rare material. I truly love this album, as I do every jimmy eat world album. However I recommend that someone first buy clarity and then maybe later the Album singles. I do highly recommend this album though. Anyway I'm getting really excited for their new album which will come out in march or april 2001. I guarantee Jimmy eat World by then will be a household name with that incredible song called "sweetness".

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliance on disc, October 3, 2004

By	Tim R. Haas "audiophile" (chicago, il) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

first off, boston based? the editorial review is way off. jimmy eat world hails from tempe, az. secondly, in no way was this recorded at shows or whatnot. these are demos and singles from 7" records and other out of print rarities.

with that out of the way, let me say that this is one of the best jimmy eat world records, which dosent say much, seeing as the only one i dont recommend to everyone is bleed american, which is still a pretty decent disc. this album, however, showcases much of the subtlety and intelligence that these guys can cram into their sounds, and also shows you a bit of what they used to sound like when they were pretty hugely punk and punk alone. recommended tracks include what would i say to you now, opener, spangle, untitled (which the track listing dosent list for some odd reason,) ramina, and h model.

you wont be disappointed. unless you like bad music.
