THIRD EYE BLIND - Third Eye Blind 2xLP

Label: Elektra

"THIRD EYE BLIND" was the eponymous debut for the American alternative rock band Third Eye Blind, originally released in 1997. It spawned several singles, including top 10 charting "Semi-Charmed Life", "Jumper", and "How's It Going to Be". While Third Eye Blind peaked at #25 on the Billboard 200, it spent 104 weeks on the charts. It is the group's bestselling album, having been certified 6 X Platinum.

"THIRD EYE BLIND" is catchier than the average post-grunge album, and that fact alone reveals a lot about the band. Instead of relying on standard, plodding grunge influences, Third Eye Blind draw heavily from the simple hook-laden traditions of classic Arena Rock, which makes the album more immediate.

“THIRD EYE BLIND” is easy on the ears, and it's straight-ahead professionalism makes it a pleasurable listen for post-grunge. Third Eye Blind's debut album is a landmark of '90s alternative rock, embracing a potpourri of styles without ever losing its focused vision.
