Clarity is incredible. Jimmy Eat World was at their absolute creative peak right before they made it big with their next album.

In 1999 or thereabouts my girlfriend left me for another guy at a music festival. I will never forget grabbing my discman and headphones and heading out to be alone and feel sorry for myself.

I sat in a muddy cow pasture listening to Clarity for hours that night. That’s what emo is to me.
