Release Date: 1996 | Tracklist


Jimmy Eat Worlds 2nd album Static Prevails is a great album.Its one of the best albums by Jimmy Eat World.I dont know much about their history but I know their a great rock band.If you want history and stuff,you can look at other reviews by Jimmy Eat World.Also this album was released in 1996 so im not sure if they had any singles or if music videos were out yet.Anyway,lets get to the tracklist.

tracklist
1.thinking,thats all
2.rockstar
3.clarie
4.call it in the air
5.seventeen
6.episode IV
7.digits
8.caveman
9.world is static
10.in the same room
11.robot factory
12.anderson mesa

fav.songs
robot factory
thinking,thats all
rockstar
call it in the air



thinking,thats all-This song rocks!!!!Unlike most the songs on this album,it keeps the speed and loud music.The verses are not as loud as the chorus but thats what makes the chorus seem awseame.Its a perfect song to start the album.Its also gives you a good idea this album is going to awseame.Great song!!!

rating-10/10


rockstar-Two awseame songs in a row.Just like "thinking,thats all" is got rocking music and lyrics.Its also got softer verses but the chorus gets louder and rocking.But the song sound very simalar to the 1st song but I cant rate the song lower just because of that.So I will give this song a 10/10 too.

rating-10/10


clarie-This song has a slow intro but then gets loud and rocking around 30 secounds.Still no let down,its another song with loud choruses and quite verses.Its a great song but maybe not a song that deserves 10/10.

rating-9/10


call it in the air-Another awseame song and it starts fast and stays that ways most of the song.Theirs no let to this song.Its one of the best songs on the album or maybe the best.Its just like the first two songs,a perfect 10/10 song.

rating-10/10


seventeen-The great songs just keep coming.By now you might think im lying about these songs being so awseame but they really are great songs.This song is simalar to the first 4 songs so I wont just keep saying the same thing.

rating-9/10


episode IV-This is maybe the weakest song on the album.This song just stays slow and boring the whole time and its one of few songs I will skip on the album.Overall this was a let down.

rating-4/10


digits-This song takes ontill like 2 minutes to pick up.maybe if it didnt take that long to rock,it would be an awseame song.But it is awseame when it is fast and rocking.Its not a let down song like "episode IV"but not a 10/10 song like tracks 1,2,and 4.Still pretty good though.

rating-8/10


caveman-Their back with another awseame song.It starts slow(like most of the songs)then rocks with its chorus.But maybe not as catchy as tracks 1,2,and 4 but still great song.

rating-9/10


world is static-At the beging of the song its got a cool druming then gets rocking and awseame.But this song sounds simalar to most of the songs so its like your hearing the same thing.Still,this song is awseame.This song should be farther up in the tracklist listing.

rating-9/10


in the same room-Once again this song is just like the others,it starts slow then rocks for a while then gets slow again.Not a great song,its just ok.But the songs are just sounding simalar so just wanna skip the songs some times.

rating-7/10


robot factory-Awseame!!!! the song start with fast guitar then everything comes in fast.There arent slow verses or anything.The songs keeps its fast speed the whole time.Its a song that really stands out in the album.I think this song should of been the opening song.This song is to awseame.

rating-11/10


anderson mesa-Right after you heard a awseame fast song.A slow song coms in an you skip it(onless you like slow songs like this).The song picks up a little around 2:40 but still not catchy.

rating-5/10



Overall-This album was awseame.The songs sound the very simalar but thats ok.Your maybe thinking how I rated the song "robot factory" 11/10.That because thats what the song deserves and it shows you how awseame it is.


I hope you found my review helpful.

Compared to other JEW albums, this is weak. My favourite songs are Seventeen, Episode VI and Anderson Mesa, and based on your rating of two of those, you seem unable to appreciate the more subtle side of JEW. Rockstar, despite it's status as 'the single', is surprisingly average. The same goes for your review, which is poorly punctuated and contains some horrible misspellings.

how can you be a jEW fan and not like slow songs? they're some of jimmy's best- episode 4, anderson m., a sunday, just watch the fireworks, for me this is heaven, hear you me, 23, polaris- just to name a few. anyway i thought digits, episode 4, and anderson m. should have got 10/10 while rockstar and 17 should have got 6/10 (sorry Tom).

This is one of my favourite albums of all time, on first listen it seems a little all over the place but after a few listen it really stands out.



My favourite tracks have to be Rockstar, Episode IV and Digits. Claire is also a brilliant track.



The guitar work and musicianship on this album clear and its that which makes the album so good, also i really enjoy Tom Lintons voice. Better than Jim Adkins actually, if only he sung more (he sings nearly all the tracks on the 1994 debut though).



If only they keeped the same kind of sound and did not rush 'Clarity' as much it would probably score the same amount of points 'Static Prevails' deserves.



A definite 5.

i read this review, i didnt plan on logging in, but your review was so extremly poor that i had to make a very hateful comment towards it. SERIOUSLY why did u have to f***ing spell awesome wrong EVERY F***ING TIME. No excuse for garbage reviews like this. Im not disrespecting your choice in favourite songs cause i agree the fast songs usually rock the best, but you cant be serious when you submit a review like this.

BTW off topic of my review hating, anyone know if they had a diferent singer back during this cd, cause he doesnt even sound like the same guy
