About this episode

The episode discusses the significance of the album 'Bleed American' by Jimmy Eat World and whether it can be considered overplayed despite its emotional depth.

What would you say is your most overplayed song, or album? For a lot of people, Bleed American by Jimmy Eat World might fall victim to that, but for all the right reasons. These songs need to be heard! We ask, can an album with song writing this good, with this much emotional honesty, really be overplayed? Maybe it deserves to be.
