Originally released as Bleed American, Jimmy Eat World’s fourth studio album would be re-released as simply Jimmy Eat World after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. (It has since been re-re-released as Bleed American.)
With such radio hits as The Middle and Sweetness, Bleed American helped turn Jimmy Eat World into a household name.
This album marks the first in which Tom Linton does not sing lead vocals in any songs.
