Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Third Eye Blind's second album will go a long way in helping the San Francisco-based band to shed their corporate-rock label. Less grandiose and obvious than their 1997 debut, the elegantly flawed Blue crackles with energy and dark humor, but doesn't wade in the same pools of gloom and despair as its self-titled predecessor. Frontman Stephan Jenkins has exchanged his intricate stream-of-consciousness musings for more streamlined soulful wordplay. The assertive, inventive guitars recall such big bruisers of yesteryear as Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, but without the heavy-handedness. "Never Let You Go", the album's standout, is as catchy as Rick Springfield's "Jesse's Girl", but with a raw edge and a snarling Jaggeresque rap by Jenkins. Smart, poppy, and ironic, Blue more than solidifies Third Eye Blind's standing as a band on the rise. --Jaan Uhelszki

Genius,
This review is from: Blue (Audio CD)
As someone who is thoroughly pissed off with the state of the current UK charts and the lack of decent bands emerging, I have been listening to a lot of american groups lately and quite frankly, Third Eye Blind are one of the best bands I've discovered. I bought the 1st LP for 'Semi-Charmed Life' and completely fell in love with it, and had to buy 'Blue' as well. Its everything an album should be, lyrically and musically and you never lose interest in the album however many times you listen to it. 'Wounded', '10 Days Late' and '1000 July's' are probably the best tracks, but 'Farther' is oddly genius like too - not too mention the short but sweet 'Ode To Maybe'. The UK music press in particular appear to take a cynical view of most US bands which is a shame as it means bands such as 3eb, Matchbox 20 etc. don't get a chance to make it big over here which they definitely deserve to. I would recommend anyone who likes good music to buy 'Blue', as its an album most people should definitely have in their collection. I'm glad it's in mine anyway.

This aint the blues,
By altheplasterer@hotmail.com (barnsley,south yorkshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue (Audio CD)
Blue is an amazing outburst of power pop orientated rock,with the energy of david beckham on red bull.unlike its predesesor this album as your concentration levels at 100% right the way through.'never let you go',10 days late' are among the stand out tracks and who can overlook the extremly sentimental 'deep inside of you'.'slow motion' will have you singing along to its strange-cheeky lyrics.The 2nd finest group next to the goo goo dolls.

Third Eye Blind - Blue,
This review is from: Blue (Audio CD)
The second attempt from American rockers Third Eye Blind is an album of full on balls out rock music mixed with emotionally available lyrics. Frontman Stephan Jenkins shows off his ability to write music that draws your attention immediatley in the stand out track on the album 'Never Let You Go'. It's a lament of lost love, a subject which Jenkins touches upon in several of the songs that span the bands career so far. In other areas of the cd they move away from the more familiar territory of rock and ballads into grounds of experimentation. It is difficult to decide whether this attempt at diversity really works, but you have to admire them for trying to do something different, something alot of modern day bands do not do. Their can be no doubt that this album is not quite up to the standards set by 'Semi-Charmed-Life', the bands debut effort, but even so, with songs like '10 Days Late', 'Deep Inside Of You' and the album finale 'Darwin' this is still an album that every music lover should own. Third Eye Blind are, at the moment, pretty much ignored in England but have found huge success in America, personally I am hoping this will soon change.
