YFW was all about the rage and misery of young, explosive love, presented with Weezer-like hooks. Deja Entendu isn't really over it yet; lead singer Jesse Lacey still sounds damaged and full of self-loathing on mopey, post-Smiths pop like "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot." But amidst the Jimmy Eat World choruses are experiments with sudden dynamic shifts and style (like Lacey channeling Adam Duritz for "Play Crack The Sky"), along with ruminations about the misery of cancer ("Guernica"). If Deja Entendu sounds like the work of musicians discovering their talents, it's also about learning that desperate heartache isn't just about girls who don't call back. --Matthew Cooke...

"This song is hands down the saddest song for me. WHY? The song was written by the singer to his grandfather when he learned he had lung cancer. This song hits so close to home since I myself have been living with my grandmother having lung cancer for fourteen years of my life and it['s a hard journey to watch her suffer all those years. With lyrics like "If I could I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells
and remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be you"
"I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Light
Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't
Good to Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have to Do Is Die "
