Just last week I had a little back-and-forth with Kevin from So Much Silence about just how great Clarity is after listening to the album from start to finish for the first time in awhile. How fitting then that Jimmy Eat World will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of Clarity by performing the album in its entirety at ten shows beginning in February of 2009. Now I’ve seen the band live three times (I think) but not since before their breakthrough hit Bleed American was released. Man this is gonna be fun!

Clarity is such a great album. I was lucky to see them on the clarity tour. I just might have to hop up to dc for this one.
“Heads will roll.”
Man, this is awesome! Now if only SDRE, Mineral, Jawbreaker, and other bands would follow suit. . .
