I've been a HUGE Third Eye Blind fan since i first heard 'blue' back in 2000/2001.
I find it difficult to narrow down which is my favourite song, because there are so many - but 'motorcycle drive by' and 'blinded' are contenders.
Ursa Major is great, it really is great.
I've had it a little while (caimanUSA ..hurrah!) and i'm STILL listening to it.
It doesn't automatically catch you, and at first you think to yourself, 'hmm, this is a little same-y'
(but then, all third eye blind albums are like that at first) but after a few listens, you realise that it really is a great 3eb album.
I love that each time you listen to this, you'll notice something different about some of the tracks. like, 'oh, I hadn't noticed the backing vocals THERE before'
This album feels slower than their other three, (apart from the opening 3/4 songs)
1. Can you take me (fast paced opener, gritty sounding rock guitars)
2. Don't believe a word (very semi-charmed-life-esque)
3. Bonfire (one of the singles - why they didn't release sharpe knife, i'll never know)
4. Sharpe Knife (wwoah oh ooaaaah woah oh ooooah oh - great guitar work here)
5. One in Ten (great song about a lesbian... i think... great acoustic driven sound ..nb. lose the french horns)
6. About to Break (similar vein to 'motorcycle drive by' - ....in a way the backing vocals remind me of the band 'brand new')
7. Summer Town (sounds like it belongs on 'blue' inbetween 'ode to maybe' and 'red summer sun')
8. Why can't you be (think, 'the background' / 'motorcycle drive by' - currently my favourite song on this album)
9. Water Landing (slower, love it though!)
10. Dao of St. Paul (again, acoustic driven sound... rejoice....)
11. Monotov's Private Opera (yet again it's a typical Third Eye Blind slow acoustic song - cracking backing vocals, "and i tell you baby, it's you and only you, and no-one else... and i mean it! (even when i'm talking to myself) " love it)
12. Carnival barker [instrumental] (can't wait to hear a version WITH lyrics and is longer than two minutes... how frustrating!)
i think my favourite track at the moment is "why can't you be" - mainly for the backing vocals in one of the first few lines.. the "sweeeeeet reliable machine" Love it.
So, to sum up...
GET THE ALBUM!
STICK WITH IT, (BECAUSE IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY CATCH YOU)
LISTEN TO THE BACKING VOCALS!!!
INSTRUCTIONS:
PUT IT ON YOUR MP3 PLAYER
PRESS PLAY
REPEAT.

I've been a huge fan of the band since Semi-Charmed life hit the charts this side of the pond...
Its been interesting to listen to how the music has developed over the 4 albums, and this newest offering is a very easy to listen to album, although with a little more substance compared with Out of the Vein.
Its a hard choice between this one and Blue for numero uno, but you will find some undertones of the self titled Third Eye Blind album in Ursa Major (listen to About to Break, and listen to Motorcycle Drive By), giving this album a feeling of a homage to the pre-seading albums but still moving forward.
Long and the short, this a great Third Eye Blind album, definitely one to recommend to any listener (not just existing fans) and was worth the wait!
Top draw!

A real return to form. Well worth the wait. If you're a fan of their first two albums, but like me, were ambivolent about albums 3 & 4, then fear not, this is a corker.
