With its seventh full-length album, the Arizona quartet finds a subtle way to push things forward. Instead of churning out another batch of first-person songs about heartbreak and resiliency, singer Jim Adkins challenged himself to write character sketches\u2014three-minute glimpses into other people\u2019s lives. Adkins still covers his usual topics, but in playing the road-tripping teen of \u201cCoffee and Cigarettes\u201d and New York City newcomer of \u201cMovielike,\u201d he slightly alters the band\u2019s signature songwriting voice. On other songs the shift is less noticeable, and the production touch of Mark Trombino remains familiar. That isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing, but if the band endeavors to surprise anyone, it\u2019ll have to head back to the lab. \u2013KP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JIMMY EAT WORLD Invented [Interscope] Since settling on its sound\u2014the widescreen arena-emo of 2001\u2019s Bleed American, one of the decade\u2019s defining albums\u2014Jimmy Eat World has been in a holding pattern.
