Early 2000's pop rock/emo/punk brought with it some of the worst music ever written. Exhibit 1: The Middle
when I was younger our camp grade had to do a camp oriented version of the middle
Controversial opinion, this isn't a top 3 JEW album. For me this even is teetering on the edge of even being lower than their 5th fav for me. This album is very important, as it is one of the definitive moments of 3rd wave emo starting to find its form. It feels almost as an ode to 2nd wave while still very much being different than those acts. It quite literally sees one of the most important 2nd wave bands fully give into this even more pop-esce sound that would define 3rd wave as a whole. ... read more
This album suffers slightly from hit fatigue. There are really three big songs on this album that really stand out from the rest; although, the tracks surrounding these hits are by no means of low quality. This album is still capable of putting on some fun music, just nothing entirely groundbreaking aside from the handful of radio friendly tracks that you've already heard.

Favorite track: Bleed American
I think Jimmy Eat World did emo-pop very well here. Also contains their iconic song "The Middle" which is amazing and you've heard it before at least 10 times.
