20 Exquisitely-Produced Songs That MUST Be Played Loud As Hell

18. Jimmy Eat World €“ "Coffee And Cigarettes"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qmc5lOhcfo Though most people know them only for "The Middle," an unreasonably catchy pop smash from 2001, Jimmy Eat World have kept trucking for the past decade and a half on the strength of an extremely dedicated fanbase. Their choice in producers, from Gil Norton to Butch Vig to Alain Johannes, has helped the band to keep things fresh and dynamic since leaving the mainstream behind, but their go-to guy has always been Mark Trombino. The producer of Jimmy Eat World's most beloved albums (1999's "Clarity" and 2001's "Bleed American"), Trombino did arguably his best work on 2010's "Invented" €“ an album which itself peaks with "Coffee and Cigarettes." At its core, "Coffee and Cigarettes" is just a road trip rock song, thriving off the sheer hugeness of its sound. It's a song that not only needs to be heard at the loudest volume possible, but also one that can only truly be appreciated on CD or vinyl. Quite simply, the rich and lush sound that Trombino cultivates here (and throughout "Invented" as a whole) can't be done justice by the 320 kbps audio quality of an MP3 file.
