Bleed American is my favorite JEW album too, and I liked Futures but this new one is just a little too boring for me. Like, not only are they doing the same thing, but it doesn't have the same allure that Bleed American had for me. The songs just don't catch my ear the same way. Maybe I need to give it another listen, I don't know.
Yeah, I understand what you mean, I have tons of music that I own but have never really given a fair chance to. Say Anything has managed to get through to me, though, I really think Max is a genius and In Defense of the Genre was hands down my favorite album this year. If you give it some time, I really think it might grow on you, it tells a really great story and he's such a creative guy and uh I want to marry him, etc.
I didn't know the first time I heard it either, he sang on it back in 2002 when most people didn't know who MCR was. It's not an amazing vocal part, just kind of some screaming, but hey, still fun! And I'm glad you seem to be into Thursday! They're amazingly awesome.
