About

Jimmy Eat World’s first major-label album shows the Arizona-based band pushing their sound to new extremes at the same moment they were being pushed toward a mainstream audience. <i>Static Prevails</i> moves rapidly beyond the band’s pop-punk start into the moodier, tenser territory of “Thinking, That’s All,” “Digits,” and “World Is Static.” The emotionally explosive and sometimes atonal riffs of Drive Like Jehu and Fugazi had become a touchstone. At the same time, “Seventeen” and “Claire” proved they could write ferociously catchy modern rock songs to match anything by Weezer or Foo Fighters.
