Claude says:Jimmy Eat World spent the '90s moving from Mesa basement punk to the emo-adjacent guitar band that eventually broke through with Bleed American. This EP arrived somewhere in the middle of that evolution — looser tracks and covers that never made the main albums but still carry the band's knack for sturdy hooks and open-road melancholy. You grabbed it in early 2009 and wore out "Over" and "Closer" through that summer, a few months where these four songs worked better than whole LPs.
