    All Music Guide

    When Third Eye Blind released Out of the Vein in 2003, they felt like post-grunge relics that refused to acknowledge their time had passed. Six years later, with Ursa Major in tow, they've surfaced just when late-'90s alt rock nostalgia is beginning to bubble. Tellingly, TEB shuck much of the heavy, oppressive sobriety of Out of the Vein replacing it with a touch of the fizzy, singsong hooks that made their debut a smash success. Without guitarist Kevin Cadogan, these hooks aren't as finely honed, but they're still present, still digging in right underneath the surface. Singer/songwriter Stephan Jenkins doesn't just rely on hooks, he retains no small element of the hard-edged social consciousness of Out of the Vein, signaling when it's time for things to get serious by toning down the hooks, turning down the volume, and letting the seriousness of the situation speak for itself.

Show me a little love. My husband bought the new Third Eye Blind album. In fact, he had pre-ordered it. He says 3EB is to him as Better Than Ezra is to me. I have no problem with that. I synced up the ol' ipods two mornings ago. We hit the train platform - i started grinning. And no, it wasn't your "Yeah I'm totally into this!" grin. I stifled laughs on the train, while he gave me quizzical "W...

Third Eye Blind: Ursa Major
4 months ago

"This is some Benjamin Button stuff going on". We're not usually ones for pop culture references but it seems rather apt on this occasion. Instead of being born old and growing younger though (as does the character in the priorly mentioned book/film), this album is born sounding so dated it could have starred in Gone With the Wind.
