On <I>Bleed American</I>、 emo-rock band 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 "Your House" 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). While they sometimes veer into cringe-worthy power-ballad territory、 overall Jimmy Eat World give the people what they want with <I>Bleed American</I>. <I>--Ike Bolton</I>
