It was met with a favorable reaction from music critics, with comments on the album's production and the band's musicianship.
Preceded by the release of ' My Best Theory' in August 2010, Invented appeared on September 28, through DGC and Interscope Records. Several of the songs earned comparisons to Foo Fighters, the Offspring, and Rites of Spring, among others. Described as a power pop album, it featured guest vocals from Courtney Marie Andrews and Rachel Haden. Recorded primarily at the band's home-based studio, the sessions were co-produced by Mark Trombino. Following the release of Chase This Light (2007), frontman Jim Adkins began a writing exercise that involved writing about photographs, which would serve as the lyrical basis for their next album. Invented is the seventh studio album by American rock band Jimmy Eat World.
