Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Bassist Ben Allison is one of a few jazzers who has successfully reinvigorated interest in long-gone bop-era enigma Herbie Nichols. His playful mix of catchy melodies and structure-testing excursions makes him good company for Nichols, and here Allison presents a great sextet of musicians who share his fondness for the wavy line separating "inside" postbop melodies and solos and the more "outside" elements of expressive soloing, hidden harmonies, and high-energy execution. The combination of saxophonist Michael Blake and Ted Nash's horns with Tomas Ulrich's cello and Allison's bass makes for great chatter, with the horns dancing through each other as the strings lay down a grain--or go spastic--in proportion to the overall mood. Third Eye starts coolly enough, with a Lounge Lizards-ish set of "Four Folk Songs." But then the band's off, galloping and halting and pouncing through tunes that have all the architecture of the post-Wayne Shorter melodicists and all the abandon of players schooled equally in the import of intricate composition and maximal expression. --Andrew Bartlett

Groundbreaking debut (4.5/5).......2007-07-09

Third Eye Blind's self-titled 1997 debut is one of my favorite 90s rock albums. This album is one of the finest from the post-grunge period, and put into motion the group that would win over thousands with their well-produced, inspired rock. "Third Eye Blind" is full of very well-written, catchy pop-rock songs, but it's far more artistic than your average mainstream rock. Stephan Jenkins' lyrics are passionate and emotional, expressing despair and depression over failed relationships and problems of life. His vocal delivery ranges from a soft singing to an almost rapped fast pace, and his signature shrieky falsetto is always welcome. The album as a tone has a fairly dark and depressed mood to it, but the upbeat songs emit a much more joyful air. Behind Kevin Cadogan and Arion Salazar's musicianship, the songs are built around catchy guitar riffs that match the vocals perfectly. The songs are extremely catchy and memorable, and the emotion in these songs makes them inspiring and appealing.

My only complaints I would ever have about this album are just towards the end of the tracklist. A few of the slower, sparser, and less memorable songs are grouped towards the end, and a few of these are skippable and similar. I'm not sure about this tan cover that Amazon displays, the only one I've ever been familiar with is the red one.

The tracklist begins with the fast and sad "Losing a Whole Year," about a lost love. The furious guitars are loud and thumping, but Jenkins' vocals and lyrics are soft. "Narcolepsy" is a nice, almost relaxing tune until the end. The #1 single, the unforgettable "Semi-Charmed Life," is without a doubt one of the very best songs of the 90s, a perfectly constructed pop tune. The memorable hook and almost rapped verses, to the bridge and guitar break, this song is a catchy, timeless classic. Just as good is its perfect follower, "Jumper." The spinning, almost acoustic feeling song is an inspiring conversation to a suicidal friend, and the hook and verses are enough to make anyone sing along. "Graduate" is a pounding, heavy song that I like. The slower "How's It Going to Be" was another successful single, a well-written tune. "Thanks a Lot" and "Burning Man" are both very well-produced, they're upbeat and catchy rock songs with meaningful lyrics. "Good for You" and "London" are also enjoyable, exhibiting raw emotion. "I Want You" is one of my favorites, musically laidback and lyrically yearning. The album closes with three slow yet very fulfilling songs, "The Background," "Motorcycle Drive By," and "God of Wine."

"Third Eye Blind" is one of the finest rock albums of the nineties, and it has something that will appeal to everybody. From the catchy, well-written pop tunes, to the emotional lyrics or the musical artistry, there's a lot to love about this debut. I also highly recommend its follow up, 1999's Blue.

one of the finest albums of all time.......2007-06-29

there is something magical about Third Eye Blind, regardless of what most of their songs are referring to, they seep into your psyche and sit there awhile, just playing with your senses. 5 or ten years after the fact, I can still be driving on I-95, heading towards BeanTown at 8am with bumper to bumper traffic, and close my eyes and belt out "God Of Wine" or "Motorcycle Drive By" and I feel alive. I feel this album was made for me, and I feel infinite. I am glad that my favorite, most poetic songs from this album, hardly, if ever got radio play. It would have, in this reviewers opinion, taken the purity and eloquence away from the magic of what those songs are about if it were layed out to the masses and critics at that pathetic, sophmoric Spin magazine.

'The Background' is one of my favorite songs of all time, and 'God of Wine' is a song that should be legendary, like Hotel California. I am just so sorry I missed them on both their shows in this area. I have waited so long to see them live.

Arguably, Third Eye Blind's debut self-titled album, can be layed on pace with Radiohead's "Ok Computer" and The Beatles "The White Album" as some of the finest music to grace our ears. I thank them.

One of my favorite musical experiences of my life; sheer brilliant.

Terrific record. Classic rock for the next generation........2007-06-20

This record seems to be both extremely underated and extremely overrated. For me, I like all the songs on the record. No, they are not really innovative or songs of musical genius like Bob Dylan or MIles Davis. BUt they are very likable tunes and they have great energy, blue-eyed brash innocence, and a big heart, and that's more than I can ever say about any Dylan or Miles Davis tune I've ever heard.

Poetic Evolution.......2007-06-13

This album is lyrically brilliant. I don't particularly like pop rock, but I think this album is amazing. The lyric's structure closely resembles poetry, in which the listener can discern their own intial meanings to the lyrics and then allow those meanings to evolve with each listen. There are not too many albums that deal with such dark psychological issues with this characteristic.

A Timeless Delight...........2007-04-28

My favorite pop-rock/alternative album of the 90's. Every single song is so dam* good even the last hidden track...The album had at least 5 songs that were released on radio and ended up on top 10 charts...The funny thing is that the rest of the tracks that weren't released are the best tracks!!!

Finally a compilation.......2007-06-27

If you're like me and always liked one or two songs from every CD this band has released, then you will be pleased to see this compilation exists. All the hits, all in one place, all for a fairly cheap price. Gotta love it.

Did not disappoint........2007-05-12

As a loyal fan from the beginning, I am proud to say that this collection of songs did not disappoint. However, I would have liked the track "Faster" from their 3rd album to be included. Their music is phenonmenal and this collection is only a glimpse of who they are. I would highly recommend getting all 3 albums.

Three hard-to-find tracks.......2007-03-22

There are exactly three reasons to own this album:

1. Tattoo of the Sun, previously only available with one of their singles. An excellent song that should have been on an album years ago.
2. Slow Motion, with the lyrics, which anyone in the US missed out on. This alone is worth the price. Along with Motorcycle Drive By (also on this album), Slow Motion is Third Eye Blind at their best.
3. My Time in Exile, which is said to be on the DVD release of Out of Vein. Also an excellent track.

Even if you own every other Third Eye Blind album, it's worth it to pick up this one for these songs alone.

Is anyone else surprised that there are 19 songs on this .......2007-02-15

Is anyone else surprised that there are 19 songs on this hits collection? If you can name 6 songs or more that were released during Third Eye Blind's fifteen minutes of fame, then you can't go wrong picking this up. I must admit that the songs I'm not familiar with are just as good as their commercial stuff. Although, if you're among the many that can't name 6 songs, you can hear "Semi-Charmed Life" on the radio everyday.

Nothing New Here.......2006-12-06

Third Eye Blind is a great band with a very limited collection of songs (they've only released THREE albums). This album is a compilation of the best songs from each of their albums. Most fans should already own their previous CDs, although if you were a casual fan this would be the one album to buy. The tracks on this album are the only ones I ever listened to anyway (I've always skipped over their other weaker songs).

'Motorcycle Drive By' still floors me everytime - a brilliant song that never got it's day in the sun, it's nice to see it made it onto this album.

I give this 3 stars because as a fan of the band who already has all their albums (once again, there were only three) - there's nothing here for me. It would have been nice if this were a double disc with the second CD being rare, unreleased and acoustic versions of their songs.

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

Happier and thoughtful...another awesome album (4.5/5).......2007-07-06

Third Eye Blind's sophomore effort "Blue" was one of my favorites when it was released in 1999, and it's still an album I listen to fairly regularly even today. Following the multiplatinum smash that was their 1997 debut Third Eye Blind, which had multiple hit singles and established a huge following, "Blue" finds the band in a less depressed mood and rocking a little harder. Something I always admired about 3EB was how they were able to balance commercial success with artistry. Each album had a handful of bona fide pop radio monsters, but they fit into the albums' progressions of emotions and ideas. Even while being a very mainstream and accessible band, they remained artistic and their sometimes wild and emotional lyrics were not molded by the Top 40. In relation to Third Eye Blind, which was often more somber and sad, "Blue" has more upbeat, electric guitar-heavy tunes. The songwriting is as equally brilliant, and the combination of great songwriting, production, sensibility, and pure musical talent again establishes 3EB as one of post-grunge rock's greatest bands in my mind. Stephan Jenkins spends more time shrieking in his signature falsetto, and Kevin Cadogan and Arion Salazar are given more room to shine. Overall, "Blue" is a absolutely fun, emotional, and artistic gem of late-90s rock.

I only have a few minor complaints about the album. I sometimes tend to skip over a few of the late tracks on the disc, the slower and less memorable ones, but a closer listen actually finds these songs quite compelling. As other reviewers have noted, shoppers should beware of an indistinguishable "edited" version, which cuts the lyrically disturbing "Slow Motion" from the tracklist and includes an instrumental version as the last song. Both versions look identical, so if shopping for this in a store, consumers should closely review the tracklists.

The album begins with the short "Anything," a fast, hard-rocking, dramatic ballad and a great start to the album. "Wounded" continues lyrically in the same vein, a sad song of lost love, but musically is much slower and sad. One of my favorites follows, the ingenious "Ten Days Late," an immediately catchy guitar jam which gives way to a bridge with a full choir break. The first single "Never Let You Go" is an absolute classic, a completely perfect pop song. From the inescapable guitar riffs to the clever lyrics, bridge, and "rap" that finish the song, this song should be remembered as one of the greatest of the late 90s. "Deep Inside of You" was the second single. I find this song similar to "How's It Going to Be" from their debut. It's an effective slow jam, with a more acoustic feel. Jenkins' performance is gripping, and the final push at the end is memorable. The pounding "1000 Julys" precedes one of the very best songs here, "An Ode to Maybe." The confused verses are nearly a backdrop to the awesome arrangement, instantly catchy. "The Red Summer Sun" is a very unique and likable cut, and the fast rock 'n roll of "Camoflage" sets it apart. "Farther" is a song that's grown on me over the years, the simple production is nice. The aforementioned "Slow Motion" is one of their most radical works, a must-hear. The midtempo "Darkness" closes the album along with maybe my favorite song, "Darwin." The electronic instrumentals make a fun sound, and the crazy verses give into an awesome hook. I love the acoustic riff at the beginning and end too.

While it didn't create quite as many waves as its predecessor, I think "Blue" is just about every bit as enjoyable as their groundbreaking debut was. What's sad is that it seems like, from a commercial standpoint, "Blue" was the peak for 3EB. Hopefully, a new album will surface as rumored and more great music will come our way. Until then, definitely pick up "Blue" if you haven't already.

Third Eye Blue...........2007-04-28

This album is awesome...Although not as good as the first one, this is 3EB delivering what the fans seek, a brilliant Alternative-Pop Rock masterpiece...

Masterpiece.......2007-02-21

This cd goes down as one of the most under-rated rock records of the last 15 years. You will be humming these songs all day. Great production values too. Get this. You will love it. Wounded is an unbelievable rock song. Get it for that alone.

Blue is a masterpiece.......2006-11-20

One of the best albums I have ever heard. Well done.

Out of this world..........2007-04-28

If that's how his album sounds like after breaking up with Charlize Theron than he needs to get back with her and break up again and then make another album...

Latest and Greatest from Third Eye Blind.......2007-03-17

Most of the other reviews pretty much cover this album well, so this will be short and sweet. The newest release from 3EB is definetly something everyone who buys will appreciate it the more they listen to it, and this album will stick with them in their collection. One thing about 3EB for me is that no matter how much rock i listen to, 3EB has that unique spot in the rock genre, and its something people obviously realize as well.

Now the point of my review. The term studio polished to describe this album is wrong, wayyyyy wrong. 3EB took a different approach to Out of the Vein, and instead of taking months and making it perfect, they built a new studio, and basically recorded this album as impromptu as possible. Now, from personal experience, and a recording tech, this is usually a bad thing and ends up with a quickly released product that lacks substance. However the band took the middle road, and in a very unusual way, spent no more than two or three takes per track, often doing some parts in one take. This was intentional, so instead of aspiring for perfection, like many other bands do, and have it sound too artificial, the band's method of creating this album gave it a more organic, human sound.

If your not quite familiar with recording techniques, ill go into a really really brief summary. Most bands enter a studio and spend on average, 3 months creating an album, from writing the song, to perfecting the structure, to the final product. Each track is recorded seperatly, often dozens of times, to make it " perfect ". With modern computer systems, the time it takes to record an album is even less, as any imperfections that would usually need another take can be digitally moved and edited out, saving countless hours in the studio.

Its obvious that 3EB didn't do that with this album. most people wouldn't know by the sound of it, but take my word for it, this album was recorded in a far different fashion than Blue or the self titled debut, and it makes this album stand out.

If you want music that almost lives and breaths, that has a life of its own, and you can listen to in its entirety, then look no further, you've found it here with Third Eye Blind.

Every Music Lover Should Own This.......2006-04-17

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.

Classic.......2006-03-30

So Stephan Jenkins breaks up with actress Charlize Theron and as a result we're treated to 14 pop rock gems that tell us the whole story. No, this isn't like their debut...and it's not like Blue either. But it's still definitely got the signature 3EB sound and Stephan Jenkin's awesome songwriting. This is a throbbing summer-anthem CD, hands down. They've got the same 3EB sound going on, but it sounds more studio polished. The timing is great though- usually a 3EB song starts off with Brad H. on drums, and that launches into the guitar bits & Stephan's singing.

Lyrically, it sounds as if 90% of the album recalls his (Stephan Jenkins) and Charlize's relationship and their falling out, and you'd think that it'd get annoying and old but really it never does. His outlook is at times painful, but it's also fresh and entirely relatable.

In songs like "Crystal Baller" he's clearly up for making ammends, putting the past behind them, "taking the high road" as he says... and just wiping the slate clean. It's easy on the ears and I'm sure plenty of people would like to adopt it as their own personal relationship anthem.

Then there's the fast story of a song "My Hit and Run" which is almost like a dream sequence; the pavement is wet and lights are flashing...he crashes and thinks he sees Her at his "hit and run". Metaphors all around, it's a great play by play.

"Misfits" is another great song typical of Stephan Jenkins, ever the pensive outsider, he claims "My people are the Misfits, the ones that don't fit in" and he makes it sound not at all like a bad thing to be a part of his group. (Cool haunting overtones in the song too.)

"Self Righteous" features SJ with Kimya Dawson. this song is slightly eery and almost out of place on the cd if you ask me. It's not bad, but it's not great either. It's really moody and vague and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Vocally they sound really interesting together, and I always enjoy hearing SJ use his voice at different registers so points there.

"Palm Reader" is a really cool song, which *surprise* recollects Charlize Theron and all that once was. He says he "reads horoscopes in magazines", "especially yours...in the sign of a leo, the regal ones, but man you let your claws show...when will they let me go?" I think it's great that he doesn't even try to hide the fact that he got messed up over the situation, and instead he used it for his art.

"Good Man" closes the cd (well, before the hidden track) and is painfully honest and well written a la classic SJ style. He's holding on, grasping at anything he can in hopes of leaving a good lasting impression. He wants forgiveness and seals his own resolution when he acknowledges that "All that you wanted, was a Good Man" He's overwhelmed and mystified (and I'm just grateful that he was willing to share it with all of us cuz it makes for damn good songs)

The hidden track is a really excellent song as well. It's easily become one of my own personal anthems. "Another Life" is about moving forward and starting over, & being grateful for even being able to do both.

This is quite a few steps away from their debut, but it's still a great album. SJ and co. have matured musically, the sound is a lot more polished, the lyrics a lot less vague. Still, if you're a Third Eye Blind fan you shouldn't be disappointed.

Absolutely Amazing!!.......2006-03-08

This album will blow you away... I've always loved 3eb since the first day I heard "Jumper" on the radio. Unlike Blue, which personally was a bit of a disappointment, [[ And I know others may agree ]] this album is a killer. Every song is catchy yet meaningful, with a soft sound in some, then a bit of a grunge-y-er sound in other songs, and sometimes mixing the two together.

This album is extremely under-appreciated, though I wouldn't go to venture it's better than their first self-titled, 3eb have definately outdone themselves.

I'd list some songs that stand out to me, but honestly, I'm a person that sometimes likes to skip some tracks in favor of about half of the total of a CD. However, this is one of 4 CDs that I will listen to straight through wwithout skipping a single track, every song is flawless. [[ Third Eye Blind's first album is another of these. To those that don't already own it, if you like 3eb I'm telling you, GO BUY IT. ]] I do have favorites... being Faster, Forget Myself, ... ah, nevermind, all of them!

And 3 final words stick out:

Buy. This. Album!!!

A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

Perhaps Third Eye Blind should have titled their third album "Same Vein," since the record offers more of what put the San Francisco band on the map--brainy stream-of-conscious lyrics, big choruses, chunky fretwork, and a liberal dose of sexual innuendo. Frontman Stephan Jenkins engages in some artistic bloodletting here, opening a vein and allowing all the anguish he's experienced over the last few years to spill into these songs. Twelve of the 14 compositions find Jenkins recounting his messy breakup with South African actress Charlize Theron. He veers from attempting to lure her back with facile wordplay and exhaustive sexual promises to being haunted by her cover-girl face every time he passes a newsstand. He even conjures her face before he hits the pavement on "My Hit and Run," which chronicles a motorcycle accident. To his credit, Jenkins is much more interesting a songwriter when he's wounded, offering candor that's not evident on TEB's first two discs. --Jaan Uhelszki

Album Description

Highly anticipated third album. Elektra. 2003.

Customer Reviews:

Out of the Vein.......2006-04-11

The best work 3EB has put out yet. They grew into mega band in my mind. The first album was good, than each additional album continued to get better and better. I think it will be hard for them to top this album, but am looking forward to hear their attempt. Good luck with topping this one.

Great comeback CD.......2006-01-16

I was sort of tired of listening to Blinded on the radio and the cover art didn't motivate me much to listen to it so time passed by and I missed it. Its not as ballsy as the others but does have some great melodies. I liked it better than the blue album. I really like 3Eb.

Craving The Once Subtle Genius of Third Eye Blind.......2005-08-25

OOTV has certainly grown on me in the two years I've had it. There's definitely enough good stuff on there to call it an above average record, and I commend 3eb for that. And maybe if this was the first album instead of the third, it would be on my list of top 5 favorite albums of all time. But that's the problem. Third Eye Blind's first two albums were for a lack of a better world absolutely incredible, and OOTV simply can't compete. When it comes down to it, they've lost something. It could be the signature sound of Kevin Cadogan; it could be that this album is just overprocessed; it could be the fact that Stephan Jenkins is just getting older. All I know is I'm craving the band I heard for the first time way back in '97, that ballsy, aggressive, power pop that none of us could forget. Buy this album; it's worth it. But for something that will truly touch you, Blue and Self-titled.

i'm glad this is a limited edition.......2005-07-06

one of my favorite bands from way back when was undeniably third eye blind- making their self titled album one of my most treasured cds. however, this album is way to drowny its missing any form of melody whatsoever and it sounds like 3EB wasn't even enthusiastic about any of these songs. this cd is lacking all of the essential ingredients that they worked so hard to put in for their first album, and then not so much with blue (but enough) but there is an immesurable amount in Out of the vein (maybe just traces of their once good side). its missing all the spunk and anything really important. the best song is crystal baller and that is only so-so, the dvd is interesting but i really wouldn't have paid $18 just for that.

Love it..........2005-05-13

Great album from 3EB, just like their self titled album to "Blue". Being from California, or more specific the Bay Area, they offer a different sound from all the other bands.

My favorite track is "Crystal Baller", but I still like all of the tracks. The bounus DVD is great also featuring the band playing live somewhere I forget. And they even had help from Vanessa Carlton also, so this is a great album from a great band. Go out and but it.

Aquabats at their finest.......2007-05-15

This album is hot and cold, though more the former than the latter. I remember having the same impressions when it first came out, and I still feel it is their finest recording. You can almost taste the influence on southern californian sister band No Doubt's electronic Rock Steady (seriously) that came out 9 or 12 months later...

Much less "ska", the Aquabats have taken a new and entirely unforseen electronic / analog synth direction, while still retaining their strangely potent combination of occasionally pertinent lyrics, over the top Devo influences, catchy songs, and a full horn section. Awesome stuff.

When it's bad, however, it's pretty bad. I submit as exhibit A Lovers of Loving Life and one or two other disposables.

Once past that, there are some really cool songs, some of which are musically and / or lyrically quite dense, all of which are entertaining.

The whole album is extremely creative and also a testament to the talent of the Aquabats.

Brilliant?.......2006-03-13

A vaguely uneven but enjoyable album perked with two of the greatest bizarre pop tunes I've ever encountered in a very long career of encountering bizarre pop tunes--Tiny Pants and Canis Lupus. If the whole album had been at the level set by that pair this could've been in the Top 100 Hall of Fame.

truth is a harsh mistress........2006-02-13

if someone tells you this albums is anything less of amazing, punch them in the face and call them a liar. i can honestly say this is the best album of all time. people that dislike this album or think its mediocre are bad people. they are people who dislike amazing things and love bad things. so basically if you buy this album and enjoy you are a good human being and have a soul. but if you dont buy this album or do buy it and think it is horrible you are in with the group of bad people that don't deserve to hear great things or possibly even live.

Hey kids, what do we got?!.......2005-09-13

Don't listen to any kids who say "Fashion Zombies!" is The Aquabats' best song. Just tune them out immediately.

I adore The Aquabats. Christian (The MC Bat Commander) said that this album was different. He wasn't lying, though I sort of discredited him at first considering he threw up rotten half-and-half all over some kid named Todd thirty seconds after he revealed in the brilliance of this album.

This album is an exploration into a whole new world for The Aquabats. If you've been a fan from the start, or just plunged into their world recently, be true to them and get this album! It's fanatastic! They have their insane, crazy songs, and some serious, meaningful songs that absolutely take my breath away. Case in point, "Hello, Good Night" is a gorgeous song about death, life, and finding meaning in what you have. It's so different for them, but they do emotional lyrics in a way that's totally their own, but also so easy to relate to.

Another amazing song on this CD is "Chemical Bomb", which holds deep insight to the fate of this world.

Looking past that, my favourite song is on this CD, "Lovers Of Loving Love". The Aquabats do love songs right! Fun, sweet, adorable, and absoultely lucious, I am in love with this song about being in love. And tasting cherry chapstick, ahh, ahh, ahh.

And wow, the cover art and inside booklet are so amazing and fun. I love to look at the art and the super rad photos. All of the lyrics are included with this CD, unlike some of their other CD's where in I had to look online to decode what Christian was screaming.

I don't know if ska fans will enjoy this, considering I like The Aquabats, not ska. But if you like good music, or you love The Aquabats, then this is for you!

Not Good.......2005-09-06

This is the Aquabats worst outing and its pretty bad. Fury and myths are much better. But there new alblum Charge! is my favorite Fashion Zombies is the best song they have made. But if you liked them for being ska then you wont like Charge they almost have no ska on it and the horns are completely gone.

Overlooked, but Why??.......2006-02-18

This album is one of the great overlooked albums of all time. Every song on it is a power-pop gem; it's worth buying just for "1976" alone (check out that Paul Stanley vocal impersonation!). In a better world, Redd Kross would be topping the charts and Britney Spears would be taking orders at a fast food joint.

A truly lost gem - sticky fun.......2005-07-18

Having acquired this from one of those deadbeat music clubs in the early nineties that I couldn't stand, currently I should extend my apologies, as I understand this CD is out of print, too bad for you. I haven't given this a spin in a few years, as I remember it being a good listen, but not a great one, well my opinion has changed, just a sheer slice of power-pop heaven. The McDonald boys never replicated this 'major label' release, sure it had little of no airplay and I imagine they were unceromoniusly dumped by their label after this, but who give a F?
11 tracks of great rock & roll - dig the opening excuberance of 'Faith Healer' coincidentaly the much missed 'Big Dipper' have a killer cut of the same name. Followed by serveral toe-tapping, head boppin' tunes of 70's kitsch and they pay homage to Asian hipsters - Shonen Knife, I love when bands namedrop other bands, it always seems to work -check out Tullycraft.
A truly remarkable album from 1990 - see music did exist like this well before the bloated grunge era. Tape a copy if you have to!

Stunningly, Amazingly, Dumbfoundingly...Out Of Print.......2004-08-28

How can this power pop gem be out of print? In my opinion, it's the best album the McDonald brothers ever made. It's a multi-colored, candy-crunching, cheap-tricking, elephant-flaring, feathered-haired masterpiece.
If you've ever walked around the mall with a comb in your back pocket and a pack of pop-rocks in your hand while waiting in line to get yourself a nice cool Orange Julius, then you will want this album. If you've ever driven to the roller rink in a Trans-Am while listening to the Bay City Rollers you will want this too. And if you've ever woken up early on a Saturday morning so you could catch Schoolhouse Rock or the Funky Phantom while munching on your Count Chocula or Frankenberries then you will definetely want to get this.
My point is that there is nobody...not a single band on the face of the planet...that can resurrect everything you ever missed about the 70s like Redd Kross can. They do it with the utmost craft and the best set of songs you could ever hope for on Third Eye. They never quite captured it all so perfectly again but they came close a couple of times. I would also recommend the previous album, Neurotica, which is kind of like a trial run for Third Eye but not quite as clean and radio ready.
Enjoy!

This album rocks hard and it is ridiculous that it went by largely unnoticed by the rock community at large. Guitarist Steve Salas is great and really screams. Produced by Bill Laswell, there is an interesting mixture of hard rock, funk and some freaky experimental textures. Overall the songwriting is strong -- strong enough to have gotten some radio play on any progressive rock station ("But oh, wait. They're Black and Native American. Only white guys play rock. We don't know what to do with this.") Play it you morons! Oh, poor ignorant radio, one of the last bastions of segregation in America. "Walls Came Down" is a great song which applies to that situation quite well.
Definitely has a Band of Gypsys vibe combined with Funkadelic, but with some slightly pop-edged songs (in a good way.)
Salas' vocals are also very strong.
Overall this is a solid release worthy of attention.
For me, the best part of this disc is hearing Bootsy just jammin out on some balls-out rock n roll. You know him & Buddy had a good time making this. I was hoping they'd tour and/or do a follow-up but no go as of yet... Oh well. (I can dream can't I?)

Bootsy and Buddy Miles perfect combination.......2002-01-19

If you wanna hear Bootsy from a hard rock point of view get this Casper fans would be surprised to hear another side of boot, also pick up Zillatron, and praxis.
