Electable (Give It Up) is the greatest partystarter EVER! Vote for Electable!

Dizzy. Hands down.

2008-03-15 11:46:25 ET

This was a hard decision. Hahaha I had to listen to the entire album again to decide. I ended up going with "Big Casino" but every song is unique and I love them all.....................

how could you pick anything BUT "dizzy"? just about every song on the album is great, sure, but "dizzy" is on a different level entirely. best song the guys have ever written.

"...if everything i meant to you, you can lick and seal and fold in two, then i've been so blind..."

perfect.

Dizzy is by far the best song on there!!... but every song on this CD is awesome!

Definently "Always be" because itll always be the best song on the cd.

I agree with you because it happens to be the best song on the record. Not that all the other songs arent but yeah, it its just a really great song.

It's got to be Big Casino. So catchy and so good live. But really, nearly all the songs are brilliant. Dizzy comes a close second.

Gotta stand up for "here it goes." JEW's strength has always been the story of the underdog, the perseverance and singularity of the individual. That same context is explored here in the crippling social arena of a school dance, the chaos and faux obligations of which has affected any and everyone whos sought the glamor of a social life. The complete, honest, and literal translation of the experience in impossibly smooth and witty lyrics makes this song roll off the tongue, and possibly past immediate recognition for the poignant and perfectly worded interpretation it is. The unflinchingly catchy music is laced in beautiful backup vocal melodies that keep you swaying to the music hypnotically until the bold distortion of the bridge champions you to not "accept critique or credit" that the "bright lights" and expectations of your peers are only the fringe benefits of your own beauty and strength. The heartfelt "dizzy" and electrifying "let it happen" come close but lack the universal and timeless appeal of this beat-driven masterpiece. Not to mention this is about the only song in the world that makes me want to dance any and every time I hear it. Other bands can break my heart, or hold me to my ideals, but only jimmy can make me dance. Give this one another listen, you'll see.

It's a tough call really. I do agree with what Sean B. says about Here it goes. I'm not much of a dancer, but that song will definitely always make me want to dance. I'm no sure any other band has ever accomplished that. It's awesome. Dizzy is amazing though. Probably the best on the CD followed closely by Big Casino. Yeah... I think those three are the best, I don't know exactly what order I would put them in though.

Big Casino is one of the best songs ive ever heard. Its so upbeat- it picks me up; no matter what kind of crappy mood im in.
Dizzy has amazing lyrics though. It's also catchy, and nice to listen to when i just want to cool down.

Carry you, Big Casino, and Dizzy i really like.
But hopefully next album would be heavier, less mtv-y kind of songs. i miss bleed american/static prevail/clarity kind of style :[
But JEW always rocks.

Firefight is my favorite. Dizzy is also good, there is only one thing about it. It reminds me of LeeAnne Womack's song "I Hope You Dance", does it anyone else? I'm pretty sure it's the same tune and and everything. I'm not sure though. Check it out.

Habe eigentlich 2 Favs auf dem Album:
Als Uptempo-Nummer definitiv "Always Be".
Der andere Song ist "Dizzy" - einfach grandios - Live und in der Studioversion :)

Here it Goes by far - you guys HAVE TO release this next!!! It is SO radio friendly and would be a hit - it crosses genres and would have a ton of fans.

2008-05-12 16:11:05 ET

is anyone going to their concert with paramore theirthe next one cummin up????? I AM!!

Bri
2008-05-14 21:54:00 ET

Im going with "Always Be" because its a great song for teens who are in love and have a good relationship with someone they really love. I also like Here It Goes because it talks about how you really shouldnt be popular cause youe missing out on all the real friends.

Chris
2008-05-19 05:05:13 ET

Hey guys, just wanted to echo everyone else and give "Dizzy" some much deserved worship. It simultaneously lures you in and smacks you over the head with its nailgun eloquence. Brilliance!

Hell, it could be a single. A HUGE single. How y'all've been playing it live takes it to about 4:30, so it's not entirely out of the radio realm.

Just don't butcher it! :D

Julie-Anne
2008-05-22 07:06:10 ET

I'm surprised Dizzy is the most popular. After Futures I was glad Chase This Light had some nice upbeat songs reminiscent of Bleed American.

I personally love Here It Goes, Electible, Big Casino & Chase This Light for that reason. :) I voted for Here It Goes, it should be the next single. :D

Am surprised theres not more support for firefight. A song that I think epitomises JEW. Uplifting, fierce and provoking. Having said that Big Casino is awesome. Can someone explain the great thing about dizzy? Maybe I'm missing something?? Did anyone see JEW at reading last yr?

Bruce Lee
2008-05-29 09:26:48 ET

man its a really tough choice but im gonna have to say always be because it gets stuck in my head way more times than any of the other songs but they are all badass

2008-06-11 18:29:30 ET

Aimee where have you been, I just seen them live and met them here in Belfast last February. I'm with you Pete, I'm so surprised Firefight isn't higher up that song is so amazing and is a fantastic warm up to the epic Dizzy

Allan
2008-07-12 13:36:14 ET

I am very surprised by the support Dizzy is getting... don't get me wrong i love it but its not even in my top 5 for favorites. I mean its a great slow song but i have to say that Firefight is above it but again not my favorite. and Pete you're right. it does epitomize JEW. But my Favorite is Feeling Lucky. followed by Big Casino, Electable and then Let it happen. after that is always be and THEN Firefight then dizzy. sorry guys. thats how i roll.

dizzy, so good.

Jimmy eat worlds last songs always tie up the album so well (23 was my favorite from futures as well), although i am surprized carry you isnt more peoples favorites.... thats number two for me.

but whoever said the whole album is an epic build up for dizzy... if the rest of the album wasnt epic as well, i might agree with you

Rhian
2008-08-03 21:03:44 ET

They're all really really amazing. Each and every one :) But I had to vote Always Be. It's just awesome. Dizzy came a very close second, then all the rest are equal third XD If I had to choose one song I like the least however, I guess I'd go with Firefight. But it's still cool. How the heck has 'Feeling Lucky' got the least votes?! That song is immense! Here It Goes is just great too! I find myself singing it all the time.
Yknow, I could say something about every single song, but I think I'll stop here XD

I'M surprised no-one has mentioned the title track! it's always been me fave! if the dizzy on the album was the acoustic version though, that would UNDOUBTEDLY be my favourite one on the album, and is one of my all time fave Jimmy Eat World songs. Futures rules!

racheltech
2008-09-11 00:25:59 ET

Ah, how I love here it goes. Dizzy is an excellent track and a very close second. I have to say, I think that the ENTIRE album is amazing, which really surprised me frankly because that's just so incredibly rare anymore. I love Jimmy Eat World.

rosie
2008-09-17 08:14:06 ET

Nobody has mentioned 'Be Sensible' (bonus track on UK-release CD). This is my favourite track, along with 'Chase this Light' and 'Let it Happen'. I agree the whole album is brilliant though.

Bud
2008-09-18 22:49:46 ET

You guys are nuts. You must listen to "Chase this light" and really just 'listen'. It might take a while to grow on you, but rest assured, you'll realize its one of their best tracks - ever. Solid album.

Stoffel
2008-09-20 08:20:33 ET

I think "let it happen" and "Dizzy" are my favorite songs. But i still vote for "let it happen" because this is the ultimate rock party song. I can hear this song the whole day and i can't get enough of this. Awesome CD. I really love Jimmy Eat World. And next year i hope they will come to germany again!!!

Campos
2008-09-21 13:31:18 ET

I think by far "Chase This Light" is the best track of the album, very intelligently written. Where can I find more footage of J.E.W. playing this song live? Youtube only has an acoustic version and that's all. Anyone?

Big Casino is very very very give me a "poison"
txs a lot for you JIMMY EAT WORLD
