Damage by Jimmy Eat World
Damage is an album by Jimmy Eat World, released in 2013. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “I Will Steal You Back”, on 5 lists with a best position of #43.
Damage, Jimmy Eat World's eighth studio album, came out on RCA on June 11, 2013, and it has been fairly described as a grown-up breakup record. The band started writing in early 2012 as the tour for Invented wound down, and in September and October 2012 they holed up at producer Alain Johannes' house in Los Angeles, tracking to analog tape as well as Pro Tools.
The result is lean, warm power pop and rock, Jim Adkins and Tom Linton's guitars chiming instead of crashing, Rick Burch and Zach Lind keeping things tight and unfussy. Lead single "I Will Steal You Back" dropped in April, a bittersweet plea wrapped in a big, bright hook, and the title track followed to radio in August. Critics mostly warmed to it, it opened at number 14 on the Billboard 200 on 24,000 copies, and the band took it from Kimmel and Conan all the way to Reading and Leeds.
