On its 1996 major-label debut, STATIC PREVAILS, Jimmy Eat World presents a fierce set of songs that lean heavily on the Arizona-based band's proto-emo roots. While the album hints at the group's later knack for blending guitar fury with pop melody (see the catchy "Call It in the Air"), it mainly stands out as a formative outing primarily suited for Jimmy Eat World diehards.
