Hell, they even have prime time TV shows about that! For the members of Jimmy Eat World, however, having released two major-label albums before hitting legal drinking age, the freedom from that same contract would put the Mesa, Arizona foursome on the path to its very finest work: Bleed Americanis Jimmy Eat World's fourth LP recorded in the aftermath of the band's being dropped from their previous label. Jimmy Eat World's post-major-label stealth enabled them to record Bleed Americancompletely free of distraction, which resulted in what many consider their most accomplished songcraft and focused performances yet. " Bleed Americanisn't about any one thing," Jimmy Eat World's Jim Adkinsexplains, "It's about a general dissatisfaction and a yearning for something more--not necessarily something material but emotional. It describes a feeling that something's missing." Elsewhere on Bleed American, songs like "Sweetness", "If You Don't You Don't" and "Your House" seem to harbor a romantic sensibility, though Adkins prefers not to specify. "I look at these songs more as moods than statements," he says, "However people choose to interpret them is fine." To be sure, the record's more experimental turns, like the somber "Get It Faster" or the expansive "Cautioners" leave as much room for the listener's own experiences and emotions as anything on their previous albums.
