Number 10
Jimmy Eat World
"Bleed American" (Retitled "Jimmy Eat World" for some copies)
Released: July 18th 2001
Key Tracks: "Bleed American" / "The Middle" / "Get It Faster"
Is this emo's defining album? Probably. The stunning forty-six minutes which launched Jimmy Eat World into the bigtime. Their fourth, most successful and ultimately best album, truly one of the ten best of the last ten years.
The hard rock of "Bleed American" mixes with the pop-punk gold nugget "Sweetness" while wrestling with the tender and heartbreaking "Hear You Me" to create a thrilling, diverse album, worthy of multiple listens.
"Bleed American" is simply put, brilliant. There's something for everyone, and more. Fantastic.
