A lot of people (myself included) that normally would have only the tiniest respect for modern pop music regarded Third Eye Blind's first album as a sort of guilty pleasure. Well, with the release of "Blue" I'm happy to come and say that I fully appreciate the workings of Jenkins and company. There are enough catchy guitar hooks, intense beats, and powerful lyrics to keep you returning to this album again and again. "Anything" is short enough that it hooks and then abruptly lets go. "Wounded" is a bittersweet rocker and one of the stronger tracks. "10 Days Late"... er no comment, it's weaker than the other tracks. "Never Let You Go" is a punchy hit. "Deep Inside of You" is one of the best, a whisper to scream ballad. "1000 Julys" is one hot chart. The second half of the disk is insanely powerful, a la "God Of Wine" on their first CD, but the real standouts are the instrumental "Slow Motion" and "Camouflage," a driving, multi-layered, echoing masterpiece. Overall you won't be disappointed, it's just too bad all the songs are as immediately accessible as "Semi-Charmed Life," (If you don't think you've heard that song, think again: Doot doo doot! Doot Doo Doo Doo! Yeah, you know it) and thus probably won't get as large an audience. Oh well, they're missing out. Buy this album!
