Clarity came out in 1999 and was the ultimate predecessor for everything any of these crappy bands have produced. You can't mention emo-pop and Jimmy Eat World without talking about Clarity. Bleed American was their attempt to write mainstream top 40 hits. Clarity was the record they cried themselves to sleep to every night while lingering in the catchy hooks.

It's all worn and wonderful.

'Clarity' was awesome-- now these dudes are the definition of bland, boring, white people rock. Put them on a tour with Death Cab For Cutie and every 30-40 year old guy who wears American Eagle clothes with Vans and pulled up tube socks would be in heaven.

I especially liked the second single, "Work," which had the requisite alt-radio hooks but also a kind of soaring quality that felt like old-school emo to me.

If anything it was more of a surprise when they switched to snappy radio rock on the album after that. Those Bleed American singles have aged really well for me but nothing they've done since then has had a fraction of its hooks.
