The majority of albums that deserve a classic rating have some sort of thread that runs through them; the album's completeness as a work contributes largely to the idea that it should be regarded in its entirety as a masterpiece. The only thing Jimmy Eat World's Futures has as a common theme is flawlessly catchy pop-punk songwriting. The first 5 tracks are simply some of the most endearing songs ever written, and it hardly lets up. 23 closes it off with a sense of occasion; the lyrics are packed and intriguing and the melodies will keep you there for days on end.

Futures is one of the most memorable and heartfelt rock albums ever.

This is one of those alternative records I just fell in love with. I connected with it after a bad breakup, and since then it has held a special place in my heart.

There were too many bad songs on here. I felt like half the album was filler. But I was blown away by the half of the album that was good, so I still give it a 4.

Jimmy Eat World blends a perfect mix of indie music and upbeat pop-punk into one hell of an album. The band really achieved greatness on this album and it has been the high point of the bands career so far. These songs are so epic while at the same time being very remotional and heartfelt. The last song 23 is one of the best album closers ever.

Out of such an incredible and consistent discography, why is Futures my absolute favourite Jimmy Eat World album? While each record they've released (well, not necessarily their really obscure, early stuff) is filled from beginning to end with brilliant, catchy songs with amazing lyricism, this album is still the most overall enjoyable and impacting album of the bunch. It's a perfect mix of catchy, high energy rock anthems and beautiful, slower songs. Jimmy Eat World evoke feeling through their music and lyrics in a way that no other band can, and it is here where they are doing this best, especially when it comes to the incredible album closer, 23. Simply amazing.

I find this album to be good. Some of my favorite Jimmy Eat World songs are on this album.

Usually, I'm pretty stingy about the consistency of albums. If a record has a mid-album slump or slacks off at the end, I tend to rate it a lot lower than I would based purely off the good songs. Futures is an exception. The albums is horrible inconsistent. Downers such as "Drugs or Me" or "Nothingwrong" do nothing for the flow of the album and throw off totally the feelings left by the good songs. But the standouts make this albums totally worth the effort. "Polaris" and "23" are absolute sentimental masterpieces. Those plus one or two other songs on Futures make this an actualy worthy purchase to me.

This album, in my opinion, is one of the best JEW albums. It shows a definite growth and maturity in JEW's sound and lyrics. One can relate with every song on the album in his/her own way. I think every song is amazing and definitely deserves many listens.
