Song of The Week: 'Always Be'

Entertainment Editor

Coming off of a string of downward sloping albums, Jimmy Eat World's 2007 release, "Chase This Light," was passed on by everyone from critics to fans. Selling only 320,000 copies to date (compared to "Bleed America," which was certified platinum), the only highlight of this album is this week's song of the week.,Coming off of a string of downward sloping albums, Jimmy Eat World's 2007 release, "Chase This Light," was passed on by everyone from critics to fans.

"Always Be," is a really fun song that can get stuck in your head about as easily as anything. The inevitable hook during the chorus is really what sold me on the song. Jimmy Eat World has always been a band capable of writing hit singles such as "The Middle," and "Sweetness." Although this album is not filled with other hit tracks the band puts on an incredible live show and for anyone who listened to "Bleed America," hundreds of times, this song will not disappoint.

Although their summer plans have not been announced, I wonder if this lack of information could coincide with the lack of information surrounding an old touring partner of theirs, Green Day.
