not appreciated enough

for real, every single song on this feels like the best track

Oh yea this. Huh. I still have a shirt I got off interpunk that I wear ocassionally. I never met one person who realized it was a band but a lot of ppl seemed to like the shirt. Always ask me about Texas or what have you.

Album is great.

Album Rating: 5.0

pretty sure the whole album and band is completely based off the jfk consipracies



i think this is a case of a band who were very 'big' and influential back in the day being a bit forgotten about in the modern era despite how many bands existed because of them



you see the same thing with bands like christie front drive and braid



always interesting to see what gets remembered and what doesn't

tons of 90s emo bands went forgotten by the wayside for sure. all the attention went to american football and many didn't dig deeper into the insane well the 90s had.



christie front drive in particular being forgotten is criminal they were maybe the most influential band in the entire midwest sound movement, mineral before mineral and then it kinda spread from there. i guess sdre was first but diary still had a lot of other elements in there like grunge.



few more i'd throw out that deserve some more modern shine are appleseed cast, the get up kids first two, knapsack, the promise ring and penfold. more obviously but those standout.



just a topic i'm a touch passionate about lol i'll get to my ultimate 90s emo list one day

I didn't read all of that after the fact, but I've CFD. It's like saying. When SDRE. This is the moment. I forget. But old stuff....

its a funny situation because american football weren't even big until several years after they disbanded and got rediscovered by people



but yeah some good shouts there, promise ring especially. i feel like people forget jimmy were semi-big in the underground way before the middle came out too.

Album Rating: 4.5

actually very true many people definitely don’t realize jimmy were huge in that scene. they had splits with mineral, christie front drive, jejune and sense field! toured with some too. obviously insane with how big they got. they were grinders just like the rest but obv had that next commercial creative level in them. one of the bigger rock hits of the 2000s touches shoulders with underground giants.



static prevails fits square in that rawer early 90s midwest scene but at the same time it’s distinctly jimmy. honestly i think my fav jimmy at this moment. more people need to hear it!

I don't want to be the I knew them before they blew up guy, I just will for a small time. But I found Midwest emo on interpunk before it had a genre. Also at this time I was buying stuff of Count Your Lucky Stars label too. There was a moment where there was very little American Football on youtube unless you wanted to watch the sport.

I don't know how you'd get into some of that stuff back then w/o living in the area. I just was obnoxiously looking for new music at a time or always interested on music from a passing time.

static prevails is the only jimmy album i have on vinyl so it's by far my most listened to of theirs lol

it's fucking great though, everything that was good about 90s emo on one album but it still sounds distinctly like jimmy eat world, like futures said

Static Prevails is mastahpiece
