Jimmy Eat World - Futures

[AareDub]

For all the theiving little pirates out there (myself included) an advanced copy of Jimmy Eat World - Futures is now available. Has anybody else heard it yet? Thoughts?

First off I have to say it isn't what I really expected. That's not a complaint at all, it just surprised me. Bleed American was a little bit more upbeat and I guess "harder" than their previous albums. I assumed the new one would follow more in that direction, however it seems to have gone back slightly to their previous style. I like either style just fine, so it's not a disappointment, just a surprise. It seems to be a pretty good album, I don't have a problem listening to it all the way though. My only complaint is that it seems to have a little too much of the same style, the songs seem to blend together a bit about 3/4 of the way through the album. I'd give it a 3/5.
