Jimmy Eat World have released their forthcoming album 'Damage' for streaming in its entirety online.

It's the eighth studio album from the band, their first since 2010's 'Invented'. Recorded last year with producer Alain Johaness, the album's scheduled for a June 11 release.

"I realized the types of love songs I like are essentially the ones that deal more with adversity and emotional injury and heartbreak, the complexities and the difficult parts of relationships, not the happy parts. That’s a more interesting story to me, and without a story I don’t have a song." said frontman Jim Adkins on the album's themes in a recent interview with AbsolutePunk.

"I decided to develop it like that. To honestly look at that and to think about it as a writing starting point, to perform that and sing it without feeling like a complete idiot, it has to be rooted around the world around me now. It is a little bit more grown up and there’s a lot of gray areas to it all. You can’t just say, “See ya, I’m out of here.” It’s not that simple. There’s a whole lot more going on. There’s a lot more complexities to relationships when you have experience, I suppose. There’s so much to write about in there.
