Jimmy Eat World exemplify all that is the modern radio rock sound. Singing and playing with a conviction and sincerity that will melt the heart of even the most stoic of listeners, they produce rousing, well-crafted anthems along the lines of Third Eye Blind at their roughest or a more polished Green Day.

These guys appear to be able to write ready-made singles at the drop of a hat, as evidenced by "The Middle," "Sweetness," "A Praise Chorus" (featuring guest vocals from The Promise Ring's Davey Vonbohlen) as well as the title track. In fact, there is a rather shocking maturity to their material that belies the band members' ages (all in their 20s).
