“Clarity is arguably one of the most important albums of the nineties. Released
at a time when grunge had seemingly faded into oblivion, rave was king
and rock was getting boring, Jimmy Eat World released an album that had
it all — soul, genuine emotion, pop rock sensibility and punk rock
appeal — making it nearly impossible not to love. Jimmy Eat World made
it OK for pop-punk to be emotional. And ten years on, Clarity is
still as relevant as it was when it was released — inspiring thousands
of teenage boys across America to pick up a guitar and sing from the
heart. As a fan, I’m truly honored to have shared the stage with Jimmy
Eat World on several occasions as a DJ, opening up and playing
in-between their sets.
Congrats on ten years, mates. Here’s to ten more!”
