Released on July 18 2001 and now available on vinyl, Bleed American is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Jimmy Eat World. The title track sets the tone for the album with its blistering guitar attack and aggressive vocals. “A Praise Chorus” and “The Middle” improve upon that formula, maintaining the forceful instrumentation but toying with the lyrical themes. The album was a critical and commercial success, helping the band gain mainstream popularity.
