I don’t really think about [i]Chase This Light[/i] all that often, honestly. Lyrically its Jimmy Eat World doing what they do best, but I think that was the album where musically the band kind of fell into a rut. I don’t think I liked a single song from the group until [i]Integrity Blues[/i] came out in October 2016 and that was only barely a return to form per my perspective. Which brings the question that is often discussed by those critical of the band – why did the band seem to loose traction after their fifth LP? Was it a matter of creative exhaustion or something entirely different?

From a quick wikipedia look, their original producer started fighting with them. With caused futures, to be a darker album. Which always seems to be why those exist in the music world. Chase this light has a completely new producer. Four of them...which honestly is not a very good sign, most of the time. Because it screams, "this wasn't a concise project." So maybe that started it? It's not easy a lot of time to know what the problem is. But, eventually you will run out of ideas. I certainly seem to be in the minority when I think their newest wasn't really a return to form and was pretty lackluster single wise. :/
