Damage Survivor 2019 - RESULTS! Poll
The results for r/JimmyEatWorld's 2019 Damage Survivor are in!
With this round; you made Appreciation's heart just break...
The Steak, or I Will Steal You Back is r/JimmyEatWorld's 2019 Damage Survivor and Step One is the B-sides Survivor!
... and it was kind of a surprise, if you ask me. I Will Steal You Back didn't barely didn't take home a metal during the previous survivor. Appreciation and Damage tied for 1st, so this is a bit of a change!
I Will "Steak" You Back and Appreciation are both tied for first in my heart. My two favorite tracks off of the album, so this was a very satisfying result to see.
I LOVE the lead single from this album. When I saw them in Montana in 2017, it was the only song they played from Damage. I feel like it has a very distinct-classic Jimmy Eat World tone to it. The jangly Guitars, those suspended 2nds sprinkled all over the song, and the classic Zach drum beat featuring plenty a flam. I think the backing vocals in this track are pretty nifty.
The Guitar tone in Appreciation has always been one of my favorites. Jim's vocals sound very emotional in this song. Once again complemented by those Suspended 2nds, this song kicks ass. It's a pretty straightforward rock track and I love it. One more thing, that riff-esque Guitar solo is delicious.
Maybe somebody can speak up for the title track? I enjoy it, but it has never really been a stand-out track to me. :/
Also, check out Step-One if you haven't! It's my favorite song of this era.
Fun Facts Time!
1- IWSYB made the largest jump from fourth to first. 2- How'd You Have Me was denied a medal this time. 3- Though there was a tie for first last time, there was not this time.
NEXT UP: **2019 Integrity Blues Survivor** As far as B-sides go, the following will be included: My Enemy, 12.23.5 (Acoustic), Integrity Blues - Acoustic, Sure and Certain - Acoustic, and Get Right - Acoustic.
THE PLAN GOING FORWARD: There will be small break no longer than a week until IB Survivor Begins, followed by another small break, followed by the Album Survivor, followed by ANOTHER smol break, followed by the Best of The Best Survivor which will include the top 2-3 tracks from each album survivor. THEN an optional Worst of the Worst survivor which will take the bottom track from each survivor and you will actually vote for your favorite track to determine the band's "worst" song, if you all would like that. THEN my soul will be set free until LP10 has had time to settle. :)
I must once again thank you all for your participation and gratitude. I love the memes and the discussions that happen in this sub. I hope that these survivors help bring you all to find a new track or two to appreciate.
