This CD features three songs from Jimmy Eat World, and three from Jebediah. Lets start off with the Jimmy Eat World songs. As far as I'm concerned, any album with Jimmy on it, has to be a good album...to some extent at least. They have three beautiful, emotionally charged songs that just leave you wanting more. The best out of the three definitely has to be "No Sensitivity." I fell in love with this song the minute I heard it. It has a very strong chorus, with some great backup vocals. The verse just build up to a certain point, and when the chorus hits, it just feels and sounds so good. Jimmy Eat World turned out three great songs for this split EP.
Moving along to Jebediah. When the three Jimmy songs finished, its almost as if there's no need to listen to the rest, because it just goes downhill from there. Their song "Animal" becomes very annoying after multiple listens, and the singers voice becomes too whiny. Their songs are decent at best, but I recommend buying this for the Jimmy Eat World songs, because it is worth it.

Decapolis 2000Reviewed by Tom BastianJimmy Eat World lay claim to the first three songs on this split EP, and they do it in typical Jimmy Eat World style. The first song, "The Most Beautiful Things" didn't jump out at me as being one of their better songs, but it's still Jimmy Eat World and when you put it up against some of the stuff that other bands have put out, it still shines. My favorite of the three Jimmy Eat World songs was…Decapolis 2000Reviewed by Nate BaileyThis release is very much like "Dicken's Tale of Two Cities". You've got your good and you've got your not so good. Jimmy Eat World kicks down the door with their first song, "The Most Beautiful Things." Musically this song has enough fulcrum to move the planet. The lyrics seem to have been found in the notes of the music, because there hasn't been a more perfect combination since Frankenstein…Similar sounding releases
