Butch Vig (producer) recently spoke with MTV.com about the new Jimmy Eat World album.

"It's quite eclectic. There's three or four songs that sound very much like Jimmy Eat World — jagged guitars, great lyrics and [singer Jim Adkins'] emotional voice. And then there's some things that are very dreamy and spacey," Vig said. "And then there's a couple songs where we went for, like, a Fleetwood Mac-style production, late-'70s studio sound, chimey guitars and a fat drum sound."

Jimmy Eat World has updated their myspace player, adding "Closer," "If You Don't, Don't" along with the Futures UK Bonus Track "When I Want" and another rare song titled "Ramina."
