But IвЂ™ll still pick up a new Third Eye Blind album from time to time and fall in love all over again. Without Cadogan, who had been co-songwriter for both of the first two albums, Jenkins turned to various other band members to write songs with and, while I maintain that the band still puts out quality material and killer live shows to this day, fewer and fewer people have seemed to agree with me over time and pretty much every album has driven them farther and farther from the mainstream. Blue, Third Eye Blinds second album released 1999, showed a more. вЂњAnythingвЂќ was a pretty abject failure as a single, though, and soon after it was scrubbed from radio stations in favor of the much catchier вЂњNever Let You GoвЂќ with its beautiful chord-based hook. They released their first self-titled album in 1997 and were an immediate hit. Likewise the closing track, вЂњDarwin,вЂќ indulges some of JenkinsвЂ™s love of hip-hop. The band had appeared on a Clash tribute album earlier that year performing вЂњTrain in Vain,вЂќ and Jenkins has publicly expressed his love of The Clash and other punk artists several times, so it should be no surprise that opening track and lead single, вЂњAnything,вЂќ is a straight up pop-punk song, complete with the terse two-minute song length. (The lyrics are pretty obvious if you pay attention.) Blue indulged some of JenkinsвЂ™ other influences outside of pop. I still get shocked looks when I explain to people that the bandвЂ™s first single off their debut album, вЂњSemi-Charmed Life,вЂќ is about having sex on crystal meth. Stephan Jenkins is a pretty underrated songwriter as people often just listen to the pop hooks and ignore the lyrics. Third Eye Blind (20th Anniversary Edition) Originally cut from their 1997 self-titled debut album, this song is finally being released as part of the expanded Third Eye Blind 20th anniversary reissue.

The full lyric version of вЂњSlow MotionвЂќ wouldnвЂ™t see a release until the bandвЂ™s greatest hits album, A Collection, in 2006.Д«ut for all of the difficulties behind the scenes, the albumвЂ™s gorgeous melodies just canвЂ™t be ignored. The EP never materialized, but two versions of the album were released, one with a version of the song where only the choruses had lyrics, and one with no lyrics whatsoever, each with the track placed at a different point on the album. The label tried to offer a compromise where an instrumental version of the song would appear on the album and the band would be allowed to release an EP later on with the full lyric version of the song. Then there was the controversy over the song вЂњSlow Motion,вЂќ which the label worried would spark tensions because its lyrics were reminiscent of the Columbine High School massacre of earlier that year. For one thing, tensions between frontman Stephan Jenkins and guitarist Kevin Cadogan made for an uncomfortable recording situation and ultimately led to Cadogan being fired from the band shortly after the albumвЂ™s release. ThatвЂ™s not to say that the road to Blue wasnвЂ™t extremely rocky. While it may be true that none of the bandвЂ™s subsequent albums ever managed to achieve the success of their debut, I personally have never heard a Third Eye Blind album that I didnвЂ™t love, and for my money Blue is their best album. UK and other Continental European nations continued offering the gold edition, and Japan had a cyan, negative photo cover.Renaldo gave Third Eye BlindвЂ™s self-titled debut album five stars for 90вЂ™s week two years ago, and while I totally agree with his assessment of that album, I strongly disagree with his claim that nothing after that first album was as good as their debut or that Blue, in particular, didnвЂ™t work as well. The photo was then changed to red with a yellow logo (seen above) at the band's request.

The first US issue of Third Eye Blind, approximately 500,000 copies, featured a gold-tinted cover photograph with a dark red band logo.
