On multiple occasions during the anatomizing of this Dissected, I heard comments like, “Aren’t they just some band from the ’90s?” and, “Oh, are they making a comeback?” It’s like non-fans are under the impression that Jimmy Eat World released one major hit song and record in 1999, and then stopped recording or touring. This time, we sort through the entire discography of Jimmy Eat World - with its very own frontman, no less.
It’s exact science by way of a few beers.
Welcome to Dissected, where we disassemble a band’s catalog, a director’s filmography, or some other critical pop-culture collection in the abstract.
And yes, we even reconnected with Jim Adkins to complete entries for every album JEW released since. Originally published in 2013 around the release of Jimmy Eat World’s Damage, this feature been updated in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the band’s classic breakthrough, Bleed American, on July 24th.
