Stay on My Side Tonight
Stay on My Side Tonight is a five-track EP released by American rock band Jimmy Eat World through downloads on September 13, 2005 and physically released on October 4, 2005. It consists of three unreleased songs, a cover of the Heatmiser song "Half Right", and a remix of the Futures track "Drugs or Me". The title of the album is taken from a line in the song "Disintegration", the EP's opening track. Reception Stay on My Side Tonight received a positive review from Tim Sendra of AllMusic, who praised the three outtakes as possibly better than Futures and with "more life and power than one might expect", but calling the other tracks "interesting but not vital". IGN's Chris Carle rated the release a 6.5 out of 10, with reverse preferences: he wrote that the remix is the best song on the EP and the first three tracks "glide by forgettably, awash in a sea of jangly, same-sounding guitar riffs".
