Continuing its trajectory towards a fuller alt-rock sound, the punk-pop act Jimmy Eat World enlisted help from revered producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Garbage) for its 2007 outing, CHASE THIS LIGHT, making the album a natural progression from '04's FUTURES, which was helmed by Gil Norton (Pixies, Echo & the Bunnymen). Fronted by earnest singer/guitarist Jim Adkins, the Arizona quartet unveils its more expansive aesthetic most effectively on the soaring single "Big Casino," which plays nicely off of the thoughtful, chiming "Carry You," and other assured, guitar-driven tracks. While longtime fans won't be surprised by the group's impressive evolution, new fans will marvel at what they've been missing.

Rolling Stone (p.124) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he churning political punk tune 'Electable' and the tambourine-shaking burner 'Feeling Lucky' -- make clear the band isn't afraid of the taut power-pop pleasures of JIMMY EAT WORLD..."
Spin (p.125) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Loss and redemption are CHASE THIS LIGHT's dominant themes....The record is crisply produced, with jittery, epic songs..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.126) - "Their sumptuous fifth album, CHASE THIS LIGHT, is what emo should sound like: big emotions, sure, but also big hooks, big stakes. And big rewards."
Alternative Press (p.172) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The band take a few successful stylistic detours on CHASE THIS LIGHT..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.48) - "[T]his is a glorious album of addictive hooks, heartfelt emotion and irresistible, smile-inducing charm."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.71) - Ranked #11 in Kerrang's "The Top 20 Albums Of 2007" -- "[I]t's genius, and no-one does it better."

Chase This Light Music Review
Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   Another GREAT Jimmy record!!
This band never ceases to amaze. "Big Casino" is an excellent first single, "Dizzy" is a closing mini-epic masterpiece, and in between are elements of their best work from "Clarity", "Bleed American", and "Futures". JEW is arguably the most consistent band in the pop/rock arena for the last ten years. Superb playing and top-notch songwriting add up to a GREAT, GREAT record!!

Shweet (=
Hmm well, this is the best ablum in my collections of others so far. I'm into many genres of music, but I this album is very good. Even my mother likes it when she listened to sone of their songs. My parents actually likes Jimmy Eat World. My parents hated basically all the music I listened to, except Linkin Park. I was shocked to find this out. Because I have a taste in punk, I loved the song Electable. My favorite song apart from Pain, I favored Big Casino. It was something. This album is worth the price. Get it =)

Jimmy Eat World has come out with another masterpiece. This album was well worth the 3-year wait after Futures. "Dizzy" is another one of those amazing final tracks the band has been known to make ever since Static Prevails. "Let It Happen" is an amazingly catchy song, and "Gotta Be Somebody's Blues" really adds to the diversity of this album. This is definately worth buying!

The knack may hold true and you can't ignore these guys for trying a carbon copy of a magnum opus that I hold true in my collection along with Futures that came along back in 2004. Foo Fighters held the same pattern that this band is holding up is the 3-year break between albums. Maybe it's time to do some fine-tuning considering what Foo Fighters just dropped the worst album of their career since One by One back in 2002. This band is starting to do so as they age past 30. Could things do better next time around is if things weren't so rushed cause Chase This Light sounds like it's aching with too much emo much to my chagrin. The running time is also suspect which must be a delight to mainstream tastebuds right now. But, hey. That's only an opinion and high brow on my part. The jaw-dropper much to dismay is on a track called "Gotta Be Somebody's Blues" while the rest still retains the value that was lost on Futures which to me is considered their much serious record of their career to say the least. Smile high; the quirks are back on Chase This Light. If you think they're carbon copy of Weezer, then Pinkerton is in the style of Futures. Chase This Light is trying too hard to emulate with the times. The expectations look pretty weak and vague if you ask me what's destined after Chase This Light finishes playing and you're left wondering in the dark.
