*Four Years Worth The Wait* A Lost Review found right on time!
One week before the brand new Third Eye Blind album, 'Ursa Major' is about to hit stores I manage to recover my lost review from their previous album released 6 YEARS AGO!!! I remember that I was one of the first people to pick up 'Out of The Vain'. It is amazing how things always seem to swing in my favor. I managed to snag the now discontinued bonus DVD edition. So enjoy how much I anticipated their previous release. It is just a taste of what my review for 'Ursa Major' will be when I post it next week.


Four long years have past since 3eb's last triumph `Blue'. For four long years all of 3eb's loyal fans have waited for the arrival of the anticipated 3rd album. Now, after many name and release date changes THIRD EYE BLIND IS BACK!!! The new album `Out of the Vain' definitely lives up to its anticipation as well as its name. The whole band managed their time well to produce one incredible album and each song sounds as if it really did pour out of the bands very blood and soul because each song is one that has to be heard more than five times. It is a must have for all 3eb fans the album has the power and energy from the first album and the original haunting musicianship of the second. The album starts off with the energetic `Faster' and ends with the sweet serenade `Good Man' and like always 3eb never disappoints its fans with a little surprise. I would love to tell you, but that would just be cruel wouldn't it? Let's just say when you think the album it is only just beginning. As for 3eb it's great to have them back just in time for the summer and to all you 3eb fans put your car windows down and blast this baby!!!.


Heartbreak City.
The songs here are personal and raw to the bone. Out of the Vein by Third Eye Blind is a very serious album documenting the break-up of lead singer Stephan Jenkins's break-up with Charlize Theron. Songs I enjoy include: Blinded (When I See You), Crystal Baller, Forget Myself, Misfits, and My Hit and Run. I like this album but it is not as strong as their debut album. Interesting album to listen to if you are going through a rough break-up.


Holds up over time
But everytime a song from this album pops up on my iPod, I'm surprised at how good it is. When I think of 3eb, I usually think of their first two albums and seem to forget this one. I think this was their best album in retrospect.

Blinded
Faster
Crystal Baller

hold up very well with their earlier strong songs
Thanks A Lot
Jumper
Semi Charmed Life
Wounded

Definitely an underrated album worth a listen.


Best to date
Not just musically, but lyrically as well. This album I feel is their best to date. If you truly listen to the lyrics of this album you will appreciate the quality of the music being presented.


High Voltage and Immensely Satisfying


The individual songs have a highly-polished, layered complexity to them that showcases 3EB's talent for balancing pure thrash-rock energy with finely-crafted guitar riffs and nuanced vocals. 3EB hit this one out of the park! Ever hear a song that's so addictive that if you're listening to it while driving, and you reach your destination, you just can't bring yourself to shut off the car stereo until the song is over? This album is chock-full of songs like that. My personal favorite is "My Hit and Run", about a near-death experience in a motorcycle crash. Other gems include "Palm Reader", "Blinded", and "Good Man", but honestly, there are no bad songs on the album, and the album as a whole has an excellent flow to it, starting with the explosive "Faster", following up with equally stunning "Blinded", then easing up the throttle a bit with "Forget Myself" before flooring the gas pedal again on "Danger".

"Misfits" is a stadium-rock anthem at its finest, starting out slow and mellow, then gradually, progressively building into a roar of alienated rage with each new refrain. On "Good Man", lead singer Stephan Jenkins' vocals artfully meander around the melody, often a half-step ahead of or behind where you'd expect; the end result is intriguing off-rhythm poetry (see also "How's It Going to Be" off their first album for another example). If you're a fan of energetic, kick-@$$ progressive rock, you should own this album.
