Sep 30, 2010Based on the extended album 5/10 (couple cool extras). Otherwise, regular LP 3/10. Better than last album, unfortunately the artists shows off entirely too much studio perfection, and who the hell is that girl adding backup vocals? And why?

Oct 1, 2010Best JEW album since "Bleed American". "Invented" brings back a nostalgic feel not felt since "Clarity". This band evolves with every album and "Invented" is a JEW album that delivers!

Oct 20, 2010Not a terrible album. It doesn't even come close to measuring up to their previous works such as clarity and bleed american. I don't know what happened to Jim's voice, i don't like it. The lyrics in this album are very good though. Instrumentals are also good its just Jim's voice. I love Jim he's a genius but i want his old voice back

Aug 30, 2011This album is one the VERY few albums I can listen to straight through multiple times and not get bored. Every song is pure gold to me. I like the mix of soft rock and rock and I always love Jimmy's epic 7 minute songs, they are my favorite. They are my favorite band and this album just reinforces that position.

Oct 25, 2010If there's one thing that this Arizonan four-piece have been masters of since their inception in the early '90s, it's consistently possessing the over-bearing sentimentality of a teenage girl. Their seventh studio album certainly doesn't veer very far from their past emotional sensibilities.

Oct 22, 2010The reality is that it's more complicated than simply saying I preferred their early stuff, because all bands have to change. The fact is though, it's impossible to forget that Jimmy Eat World can, and have, done so much better.

'Coffee And Cigarettes' and the title track slowly uncurl themselves over the course of a few days and before you know it, it feels like Jimmy Eat World never went away.
