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
CD Description
Third Eye Blind has enough vision to swerve clear of the sophomore jinx. While you won't find a "Semi-Charmed" on BLUE,there is enough thoughtful, well-crafted pop to keep the band in the grace of its fans. The album opens with the short,blistering "Anything", a track that cuts out just as the song's hook pulls you in. The radio-friendly "Never Let You Go" bears an unshakable chorus. "Deep Inside of You" shows 3EBto be developing further as accomplished power balladeers. A poetic stream of consciousness takes shape in "An Ode to Maybe". "The Red Summer Sun", which begins as an atmospheric and mid-tempo piece, goes off on a strange tangent that finds vocalist Stephan Jenkins doing his best Axl Rose impression, and then returns to a trippy outro that reprises as a hidden track at the end of "Darwin".
BLUE is a largely introspective affair, especially in tracks like "Darkness", where Jenkins sings, "And the world darkens around me / strange friends surround me". That perspective is the key that makesThird Eye Blind's songs hit home emotionally. The diversityand risks the band takes on BLUE will surely help the groupavoid any one-hit-wonder labelings.
