Chase This Light is the sixth studio album by American rock band Jimmy Eat World. The band began working on the follow-up to Futures (2004) by late 2005, and had made demos by early 2006. They started recording their next album with engineer Chris Testa between Arizona and California. Butch Vig was enlisted as an executive producer, acting in a consultancy role, where he would provide feedback on the material. Sessions began in August 2006 and lasted until May 2007, with tours of the US and Europe in between. Described as a power pop, pop rock and pop-punk record, the guitars drew comparison to the Outfield and U2, while individual song comparisons were made to the likes of the Killers, the All-American Rejects and Shout Out Louds.
Preceded by the release of "Big Casino", Chase This Light was released on October 16, 2007 through Interscope Records. It was met with a favorable reaction from music critics, a few of them noted a return to the sound of Bleed American (2001). Chase This Light charted at number 5 on the US Billboard 200 after selling 62,000 copies in its first week, and by 2008 it has sold 155,000 copies.[1] It reached the top 5 on three Billboard component charts, and charted highly in Canada, the UK, Australia, among others. "Big Casino" and "Always Be" charted in Canada and the UK. With the release of a music video for "Big Casino", the band toured the US until the end of the year. "Always Be" was released as a single in December; the group had a support slot for the Foo Fighters and went on a tour of Europe and Japan in early 2008. With the single release of "Let It Happen", the band went on a co-headlining US tour with Paramore, and appeared at various festivals in Europe.
