Picture
I love a one-word title for an album. I also happen to enjoy this album. "Invented" is the seventh studio album from arguably one of the best alternative rock bands of our generation. It's what you'd expect from Jimmy Eat World, now seasoned vets of the music industry after a discography spanning 16 years. There are sharp guitar cuts, intense and melodic riffs. The lyrics are the icing on the cake, so to speak. This is a band that has always had artsy lyrics. This album is no exception, and is perhaps more artistically influenced than past works. It is rumored that lead singer and guitarist Jim Adkins drew inspiration for this album from photographic art. I personally think that if you enjoyed "Futures", you will enjoy this album. Although some songs are up-tempo and harder, the majority of the tracks are softer and there are even some tracks with clearly defined folk influence.
