==Overview==
==Overview==
Along with bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate, The Promise Ring, The Wedding Present, and our own beloved [[Weezer]], Jimmy Eat World is considered an early proponent of the development of a style of rock that is now commonly referred to as ''[[emo]]'' - although, by today's standards (much like Weezer), they have little resemblance to the current emo scene.  Early material by the band was quite raw and very much in the pop-punk/indie vein, but the band has evolved into a potent, pop-saturated rock unit, with well-written songs, tight harmonies, and of course, loud guitars whenever possible.
