4 out of 5 stars A decent split.......2007-03-09

I must say that I was a huge Jebediah fan back in the day (still am) so I was excited when this split was announced in 2000. I do agree that the song selection was a little strange from the jebs. 'Animal', the first single off 1999's 'Of Someday Shambles' ais far more superior when played live compared to the album version, 'Star Machine', 'Did you really' or 'Feet Touch The Ground' may have been a better choice. 'The Least Trusted Pain Remover', a b-side off the 'Animal' single, is rather too long and, for me, doesn't really kick in until towards the end which turns out to be the songs' redemption. The next song is 'Harpoon', a classic from 1997's 'Slightly Odway' with its tale of love and confusion. The australian release of this split (on Redline records) has a different song line up with the awesome 'Simple' and a crappy re-mix of 'Please Leave'

JEW's three songs are all great. 'No Sensitivity' is my favourite of the three and is such a great pop song (well, my version of pop anyway. This version of 'Cautioners' is far superior to the 'Bleed..' version. Although I love Rachel Hayden's voice, the album version feels overproduced and looses some of its impact.

Its hard to compare which band is better as they both have different styles although the bands themselves are quite good friends. Jebs trump Jimmy in live performances though..just

The vinyl release is quite stunning with its three clear 7inches. I recommend it. I have given up looking for the red and white vinyl release of this.

3 out of 5 stars Jebediah could have done better.......2003-05-15

Let me first say that Jebediah is a superb band. What disappointed me with this CD was the inclusion of two sub-par songs by Jebediah. 'Animal' was possibly the weakest single they've released, and the other song is a b-side which has never even appeared on one of their albums. Not a particularly smart way to try and break into the American market.

Jimmy Eat World contributes three typically solid songs. No Sensitivity in particular is quintessential Jimmy Eat World - catchy hook, melodic chorus. But being a fan of both bands, I can honestly say that the best Jeb songs are light-years better than even the best Jimmy Eat World songs..

Another reason why I consider this combination of bands somewhat strange is that Jimmy is a emo-pop band and appeals to a particular demographic. Jebediah is a pop-punk band, but the similarities end there. Jeb is fun, irreverent and frenetic. Think Jimmy Eat World meets Green Day.

If you are interested in checking out more Jebediah stuff, I would highly recommend the 'Slightly Odway' album, and in particular their b-side 'Simple' and the singles 'Jerks of Attention' (get the fast version) and 'Teflon'. That showcases them far better than the uninspiring Jeb songs included on this CD.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Split EP With A Band No One Knows Here In America.......2003-03-27

I got this cd last Christmas from my parents. It has three Jimmy Eat World songs, and two by Australian band Jebediah. It's a darn good album. Every Jimmy Eat World song is solid, including original version of Bleed American's "Cautioners", and the two from Jebediah are good. All in all, a nice addition for fans to their Jimmy Eat World collection.

4 out of 5 stars No Sensitivity.......2002-12-16

I actually havent heard any of the other songs on this cd but I would like to say that No Sensitivity is not only the best song by Jimmy, it is possibly the best song EVER. Words cant describe how awesome this song is. The acoustic guitar solo is amazing. This cd is worth buying just for that song and im sure the other Jimmy songs are awesome too though.
