One word describes the CD Third Eye Blind from Third Eye Blind. . . AWESOME!
Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Third Eye Blind. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
One of the nicer things about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Rock isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.
Listen to Third Eye Blind and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this album.
While the entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 6 – How’s It Going To Be, track 13 – Motorcycle Drive By, and track 14 – God Of Wine
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [. . . as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Losing A Whole Year. It’s a great track!
