Jimmy Eat World has posted another update as they continue to work on their sixth studio album and follow up to 2004's Futures and 2005's Stay on My Side Tonight EP. Frontman Jim Adkins explained:

We are still working on our next album. During the Christmas break we wrote some new tunes and got ideas for a bunch more. We are working on those and giving them the chance to develop. We are still very excited about what we have competed thus far and we hope to wrap it up as soon as possible. But this is the way rock is. Sorry. Shit takes forever. We don't consider ourselves on island time by any stretch. We want to make sure every song feels like it is as complete as it needs to be. To put songs out there and call it an album is an important thing for us. We have yet to compromise a recording session for the sake of a final product. We aren't about to start 12 years into the band. Thank you for your patience and we hope to get more up, more often.

This album is being produced by Butch Vig (Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Against Me!)
