Every Music Lover Should Own This

"I've been a music connoisseur for a long time now. From Rap, Hip Hop, Country, Christian, House, Techno, Folk, Jazz, Classic, Punk I've literally bought CDs from every possible genre on Amazon. I love music. And of all my CDs, this is one that I always come back to. Genre-wise, this would be closest to pop rock, but much like Maroon Five's "Songs About Jane", this type of mainstreamish rock is less canned and just never seems to get old. Especially since the lyrics on this album are well written. For the past 3 years this CD has always resurfaced for me.



However, like 99% of CDs there are imperfections. 11 and 12 should pretty much be stricken from this great compilation, but that still leaves 12 (if you count the hidden track) WORTHY tunes that will always be there waiting for you in your CD/MP3 collection.



This is an excellent CD."

Great album...something's missing though

"All 3EB fans, there're no pensive songs like "Darwin", "Motorcycle Drive by" and thier likes on this album, but what it does have is a lot of other very very good songs. "Blinded" is possibly one of my favs. The other tracks like "Crystal Baller", "Danger" and "Misfits" have a great feel to them.



No "God of Wine" level of profundity, but a must add to the collection, none-the-less. It goes really well with the other 2 albums but rather incomplete on it's own. You get the feeling that 3EB has got a lot of great albums on the way. Fingers x-ssed fellow fans!"

Outstanding

"Third Eye Blind, in my opinion, is one of the most innovative rock groups of our time, it seems as though they are always looking to raise the standard musically, not settling for run-of-the-mill music. The album is contagious, to be honest I wasn't real thrilled with the first listen, but after a few spins, I found myself craving more. Other than a few sexual innuendos, lyrically I enjoyed it. I can say with confidence that this was my favorite album of 2003, and even after 50+ listens, the effect is the same. 'Crystal Baller', 'My Hit and Run' and the opening track 'Faster' are some highlights, definitely check it out and let it grow on you..."
